Bug Bounty Squads

Squads are small teams that practice on public bug bounty programs and CTFs together: they pick a program, hunt as a group, share techniques and review each other's reports. It is the fastest way to learn real-world hunting while staying accountable to the community.

-

Squads only practice on public bug bounty programs and CTFs with explicit permission from the platform owner.

-

No testing of private targets, unauthorized systems or third-party infrastructure - ever.

-

Findings are shared inside the squad first, then reported through the official program process.

-

Every squad has a lead moderator who watches for rule violations and keeps the group focused.

Want to join or start a squad? Post your skills and availability in the Telegram channel and the moderators will match you with an active team.
