This week’s Researcher Spotlight is actually on two researchers which make up a team. Internetwache is one of the most active groups in the bug bounty researcher scene, finding vulnerabilities in Facebook, eBay, Apple, Twilio and many others. The team consists of Sebastian Neef and Tim Schäfers, and they were both kind of enough to participate in this week’s spotlight interview.

Today’s spotlight is on a researcher who clearly enjoys giving back and helping the community. Mazin Ahmed has been active in the bug bounty scene for the last two years and can often be found collaborating and joining discussions on Twitter, IRC, forums and other communities.

The security researcher community at Bugcrowd is quite diverse with backgrounds and experience of all shapes and sizes. This week’s researcher spotlight is on Casey Dunham, a security professional with a computer science background and experience as a software developer. In our interview below, you will see how Casey’s background informs his approach to security testing and enables his success.

At Bugcrowd we’ve heard from many researchers that they would love to do bug hunting full-time. Many researchers have used bug bounties as way to supplement their income, build up their skills, increase the size of their professional network and the number of work opportunities available to them.
