Did you set out to find a vulnerability or just stumble on it?

If setting out to find a vulnerability, how do you get started?

What is the “open ide, write print(“hello world”)” for this kind of work?

The article explains that they were at a hackathon of sorts, where these 2 were specifically targeting the locks/passes.

I would assume reading the cards with a reader would be a great start.
