@root.visual50: companies pay external security researchers to find their vulnerabilities before anyone else does. it's called a bug bounty program — and it's fully legal. google, microsoft, apple, meta, and most major tech companies run active programs. rewards range from $100 for minor issues to $200,000+ for critical vulnerabilities. HackerOne alone has paid over $400 million to researchers since it launched. to start: learn the OWASP Top 10 at owasp.org (free). practice on TryHackMe or HackTheBox — legal environments built for this. read disclosed reports on HackerOne — real bugs, real writeups, real learning. then join a beginner-friendly public program and start testing within scope. the golden rule: only test within the defined scope. responsible disclosure always. save this. start with owasp.org this weekend. #cybersecurity #rootvisual #bugbounty #earnmoney
