Critical Thinking - Bug Bounty Podcast Justin Gardner (Rhynorater) & Joel Margolis (teknogeek)

Episode 71: In this episode of Critical Thinking - Bug Bounty Podcast Keith Hoodlet joins us to weigh in on the VDP Debate. He shares some of his insights on when VDPs are appropriate in a company's security posture, and the challenges of securing large organizations. Then we switch gears and talk about AI bias bounties, where Keith explains the approach he takes to identify bias in chatbots and highlights the importance of understanding human biases and heuristics to better hack AI.

Episode 69: In this episode of Critical Thinking - Bug Bounty Podcast we’re joined by Johan Carlsson to hear about some updates on his bug hunting journey. We deep-dive a CSP bypass he found in GitHub, a critical he found in GitLab's pipeline, and also talk through his approach to using script gadgets and adapting to highly CSP'd environments. Then we talk about his transition to full-time bug hunting, including the goals he’s set, the successes and challenges, and his current focus on specific bug types like ReDoS and OAuth, and the serendipitous nature of bug hunting.
