I suspect if the payout for the bug bounty wasn’t so ridiculously low then maybe this intelligent hacker would have submitted it, got paid and then released it once it was patched.

$50k max seems ludicrously low for a chain of console Zero days.

But then again they may have just released it for the love of the game, but Nintendo will be quick to patch this…

pretty bad precedent, id argue that anything thats publicly accesible is free to be scraped. So unless they did something illegal via bypassing security, then this sets a really bad tone for internet archival, web scraping and data collection in the future.

There is no source, the gender spectrum is fundamentally based on rejecting science
Minor things like small drug offences etc. fine but major crimes? No.

How do amateur security engineers learn to find new exploits to produce CVEs?

Saw a similar post on reddit but it didn't have many responses. I'm also very interested in the subject.Considering one already has experience in security. E.g. Bachelors/Masters level courses, practical bug bounties, CTF and can use metasploit. These all teach the users how to use tools, or to find pre-existing/known attacks and vulnerabilities.How does one jump from this to finding...

I'd advise you do some more charity work outside your normal job. That met give you lots of fulfillment. Spent your time outside work wisely. Like go to the gym, excercise, sport, eat healthily and hang out with people. That'll give you more fulfilment.
