General

Who should hunt here

Beginners

A stretch
  • Wide attack surface — 31 assets means overlooked corners (old subdomains, staging hosts) are statistically likely.
  • Fast feedback — triage lands in ~1 day, so you learn what this team pays for quickly.
  • Low entry point — the bounty floor starts at $50, so lower-severity findings are still worth submitting.

Intermediate

Good target
  • Real ceilings — payouts reach $2.5k, so chaining two medium findings into one report actually pays.
  • APIs are in scope — where medium hunters get paid: broken object-level authorization, mass assignment, and rate-limit gaps.
  • Active program — ~85 valid reports/month means the triage queue is alive and templates are established.

Pros

High value
  • 31 assets scale well with automation — attack-surface monitoring and diffing pay off at this size.

Think twice if

  • Heavily crowded — duplicates arrive within hours; only novel vectors or automation win here.
  • Program age is unknown — YesWeHack doesn't expose start dates, so "freshness" can't be verified.
