Hey, how did you get into poking things til they break? I just got into a comp sci program and i'm clueless about all of this.

Poke things.
Seriously though, I started because I wanted to secure my server. So I looked at how other people secure better severs. Sometimes I looked so deep I found errors, normally little things like leaving a default account set up, or leaving FTP wide open.
If you're looking for some generic response like "Just go to http://hunt4.bugs", I don't think one exists.

thanks a lot! Do you mind dropping me a line at me email found at my profile (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=lukezli)? I can't find your email unfortunately.
Really appreciate your help, questions won't take too long!
Am I student bug bounty hunter? No. I'm a student that sometimes breaks things and tells people when I do.
