Having “access to an unlimited number of security researchers with different skillsets” is among Bug Bounty’s most compelling benefits, according to Vittorio Addeo, Ferrero’s cyber offence manager.

Vittorio was speaking alongside Giulio Maria Gravante, offensive security project manager at Ferrero, at the RomHack conference in Rome last year.

Ferrero is an Italian multinational operating in the sweet-packaged food sector, with its iconic brands including Nutella, Kinder and Ferrero Rocher.

In the interview below, we quizzed Vittorio and Giulio about Ferrero’s Bug Bounty evolution since the launch of its program in February 2023, the hurdles they’ve surmounted, the security benefits observed so far, and their tips for maximising the effectiveness of crowdsourced security testing.

Further down the page you can also watch highlights from Ferrero’s live Bug Bounty at RomHack – 

 – which was held in partnership with YesWeHack.

Vittorio on Ferrero’s rise to prominence…

Ferrero began its journey in Italy in 1946, and today it’s one of the world’s largest companies within the sweet-packaged food sector.

Giulio on why they launched a Bug Bounty Program and it’s subsequent evolution…

To enhance the security and the protection of our digital data – in particular to complement the security tests that we perform on a daily basis.

We started with few assets and then we extended it to our related companies.

It was a real success. We were able to identify thousands of criticalities. Additionally, we started with only a few hunters, and today we count more or less 130 hunters.

Our goal is to achieve 200 hunters by the end of this year [Note: the interview took place in September 2024].

Giulio on the biggest challenges so far and how they overcame them…

First challenge: bug reports spiked when we launched the first Bug Bounty Program. As a solution, we expanded our resources mainly on bug analysis and remediation implementation.

And the second challenge is: always keep the program attractive for the hunters. We try every day to add new assets to the scope and keep the level of the rewards as attractive as possible.

Vittorio on the most notable benefits of Bug Bounty…

One of the most important is the ROI, so the return on investment. You just pay for valid vulnerabilities, without having to pay for the time needed to detect them.

Another important aspect and benefit related to Bug Bounty is the access to an unlimited number of security researchers with different skillsets who can discover bugs on your external attack surface.

So you have an unlimited team working with you, collaborating with you, trying to bring the security level of your company to the next level.

Hack Me I’m Famous #2: Louis Vuitton sets trend with first live hacking event in luxury fashion sector

Vittorio on the key factors for a successful Bug Bounty Program…

Always try to update your program and refresh your scope with new juicy targets, in order to allow security researchers to always work with a continuously evolving attack surface.

Another key aspect is to always try to increase the number of Bug Bounty hunters working in your program, just to keep the level of the competition very high. This is always good for all the security researchers, because they even work together, collaborating, trying to find the most useful bug.

‘Bug Bounty has become a security best practice’: Why Ferrero is sweet on crowdsourced testing

When Gregxsunday embarked on a career in offensive security he expected increasingly secure development practices to result in dwindling opportunities for Bug Bounty hunters.

How these expectations were confounded by the hacking community’s impressive creativity is among the topics covered during this interview with the Polish hacker and popular YouTuber and podcaster.

During our Q&A, Gregxsunday also reflects on the attractions that sparked and sustain his interest in Bug Bounty, why authentication bugs are a particular area of interest, his experiences using both Caido and Burp, his antidote to procrastination, and his hobbies beyond hacking.

gregxsunday – real name Grzegorz Niedziela – documents his exploits on his hugely popular YouTube channel, 

 (almost 64,00 subscribers and counting) and conducts his own interviews with his peers on a companion 

I got into web hacking through CTFs. I found out you can also make money while doing this. So I wanted to become a pentester, and I was successful with becoming a pentester.

I gained a lot of experience. But I knew Bug Bounty is something that I wanted to do in the long run. So always, even as a pentester, I learned from a lot of Bug Bounty reports, from write-ups, from disclosure reports, and from basically anywhere I [could] because I knew I wanted to become a Bug Bounty hunter one day.

And eventually, I quit my job. And for about three years now, I’ve been doing Bug Bounty and YouTube full-time.

On what he enjoys most about Bug Bounty…

I think it’s the challenge. Every once in a while, you find a functionality where you feel the potential of how bad it will be if something that you are trying works. And it’s just so addictive: feeling so close to discovering a critical vulnerability is incredibly addictive and it just keeps me going, keeps me willing to explore new ideas to eventually exploit a bug.

On his favourite types of vulnerability…

I’m really paying a lot of attention to authentication – specifically if it’s single sign-on or SAML-based flaws. I do really know a lot about these flaws. There are a lot of things that can go wrong, especially with OAuth.

This is definitely something that I started to pay more attention to last year. And a big part of my findings this year are authentication-related bugs.

I mostly just use proxy [tools]. I’m very much a manual hacker, so I do not rely a lot on tools.

I’ve been testing Caido and Burp this year, and I’ve been switching from one to another every single time. I even had a period when I used both of them: I just proxied the traffic through both Caido and Burp. And I’m still undecided on which one I want to use in the long run.

No matter which proxy I choose, I know that it’s good that they are now competing for the hackers’ market, because it just makes our proxy tools better and makes our hacking easier.

I expected that [the] Bug Bounty [market] would maybe become smaller with time, because the natural process I expected was that apps become more and more secure. But it’s not actually what we see.

I think we as hackers evolve quicker, and we develop new hacking techniques quicker than developers are able to create new processes and new frameworks that are secure by default. And whereas there are some bug classes getting fixed by something like SameSite cookies that fix a big part of CSRFs – we just come up with so many different attacks that… it’s something I’m surprised about.

With more time, we just find more bugs, more critical bugs – and luckily for us, [it results in] more bounties being paid by the programs.

Outside of hacking, I spend a lot of time doing sports. Different kinds of sports: I do jujitsu, I do some climbing, some calisthenics. I also like to travel around the world, especially when it’s winter and it gets cold in my home, in Poland. I like to travel to some warmer countries, like Spain or Argentina. But most of my days I work, then I go do some sports. And also, a lot of sports are these days the way for me to connect with my friends.

I think the most important thing is to not procrastinate, to start too late. The truth is that while advanced techniques are important, some people treat it as a way to procrastinate, and they think they must reach extremely high levels of web hacking skills to start Bug Bounty – which is not necessarily true, because equally important is just learning to discover a lot of functionalities of the app.

So for beginners: they should learn some basics of web security, but then they should start actual hunting fairly quickly and learn along the way. Because learning can be a great thing – everyone must learn, but it can also be a way of procrastinating.

highlights from last year’s resoundingly successful live Bug Bounty

? The YesWeHack customer that provided the scopes – L’Oréal – hardly needs an introduction. Websites, APIs and mobile apps belonging to the iconic cosmetics and personal care brand were strengthened by the remediation of 71 vulnerabilities uncovered during an 18-hour bug hunt at LeHACK 2024. More than 100 hunters took part in pursuit of bounty rewards rising to a maximum of €5,000. 

Asked how L'Oréal had benefited from the event, Guillaume Kermarrec, in charge of the company’s Bug Bounty Program and threat and vulnerability management function, cited “meeting the security researchers, meeting the triage team, and working together to find and fix some complex vulnerabilities”. They also seized the opportunity to “test some new scopes with very specific configurations that couldn’t be added to our continuous program”.

Bug Bounty Programs are a boon for DevSecOps environments, according to the red team lead for offensive security at Gong, the revenue AI company.

Reflecting on his experience overseeing Gong’s crowdsourced security testing, Dean Dunbar explains how 

 accommodates rapid release schedules, recounts how scoping challenges were surmounted, and marvels at bounty hunters’ skills, tools and “passion for security”.

The Gong Revenue AI Platform captures and contextualises customer interactions, surfaces insights and predictions, and powers actions and workflows that are essential for business success. More than 4,500 companies around the world rely on Gong to unlock their revenue potential.

How has your private Bug Bounty Program evolved so far?

 We launched our Bug Bounty Program with a focused scope, initially targeting critical areas for our clients and product.

As we saw the value hunters brought to the table, we expanded the scope and adjusted bounties to attract even more top talent. It’s been an evolving process, and each round of feedback helps us refine the program to make it more impactful.

What is the biggest challenge you have faced and how have you overcome it?

 Scoping has been a moving target. Historically, scoping for bug bounties a decade ago was working with simpler CIDR ranges, but modern ecosystems might include cloud providers and SaaS providers.

As Gong’s infrastructure grew, our Bug Bounty scope had to adapt to keep pace. YesWeHack has been instrumental in making scope management easy, helping us maximise coverage while clearly defining out-of-scope areas.

 for Bug Bounty researchers. YesWeHack has streamlined this with their credential pools, which allow researchers to access test credentials securely and efficiently.

This has been a game-changer, letting researchers dive deeper into testing our features without needing manual account setups. The credential portal is more secure than manual credential sharing.

What has most surprised you about Bug Bounty?

 I’m consistently impressed by the depth of expertise among the hunters. Over the last decade, I’ve seen submissions from specialists who notice vulnerabilities that automated tools or standard processes would miss.
