Our community of hackers starts searching for vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities are submitted and managed via our Coordination platform. Reports are reviewed and triaged by the HackenProof team (or by yourself), and then passed on to your security team for fixing. Depending on preference, you can choose to publicly disclose any reports, once the issues are resolved. We connect business with a community of hackers from different parts of the globe.

    Open Bug Bounty

    Open Bug Bounty

    Open Bug Bounty

    Open Bug Bounty project enables website owners to receive advice and support from security researchers around the globe in a transparent, fair and coordinated manner to make web applications better and safer for everyone’s benefit. Open Bug Bounty’s coordinated vulnerability disclosure platform allows any security researcher reporting a vulnerability on any website as long as the vulnerability is discovered without any intrusive testing techniques and is submitted following responsible disclosure guidelines. The role of Open Bug Bounty is limited to independent verification of the submitted vulnerabilities and proper notification of website owners by all available means. Once notified, the website owner and the researcher are in direct contact to remediate the vulnerability and coordinate its disclosure. At this and at any later stages, we never act as an intermediary between website owners and security researchers.

    Bugbop

    Bugbop is a bug bounty and disclosure platform built for program managers. Bug bounty and disclosure programs create a safe channel for security researchers to report vulnerabilities. Teams review the findings, remediate valid issues, and optionally offer financial rewards/swag. By using a platform, you get increased visibility and authenticity, structured workflows, automated triage, researcher management, and payment handling - admin chores that are difficult and time-consuming to handle yourself. Bugbop has simple pricing ($0 monthly + 15% on bounties) and can be set up completely self-service (i.e. no "call us for a demo and pricing"). It removes program noise with automated AI triage and severity analysis. It gives teams a flexible way to run bug bounty or disclosure without the overheads of the enterprise platforms. You can sign up for free to test the platform with a private program.
