First of all, Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate it. We are arriving at the end of 2025, the year was great, and as usual, I will write a full blog post about the recap, but it will come near January, I think. I am still waiting for some bounties to come.
Speaking of bounties, I came back at finding a lot of bugs, which is great, I missed being in this momentum.
Opportunities
I'm getting more and more opportunities nowadays, and it's amazing. Most of them are because of this blog. I just started it two years ago to share my journey, and now, a lot of people are reading it every week.
I'm so glad I continued doing it, and now I'm getting the fruits. Speaking of opportunities, I will write blog posts for another hacking media, I'm not telling which now, as it's not official, but I hope it will be soon.
I'm getting opportunities for pentests, due to my profile on the bug bounty scene, which is nice. At the beginning of 2026, I will probably have 3 or 4 different pentests, which will be great to start the year and get some cash.
I also contacted the team of an app I use every day because some parts of the app were weird and I was sure it would be vulnerable, so I decided to tell them responsibly and ask if they need a pentest. That can be nice as it's an app I already know, and I love working on this kind of app.
The latest opportunity I got is with Caido. As you may know, I'm a Caido ambassador, and I really want to push everything in the right direction. So next year, I will probably ( not sure yet ) give talks and maybe trainings about Caido.
I'm looking for 2026 now; a lot of good projects are coming!
Farming
These past 2 weeks, I needed to get some cash, so I decided to farm bugs. I took all the latest private programs I got on YesWeHack and started looking at them.
I found and reported around 25 bugs, mostly High and a few Crits and Medium. But as these programs don't pay a lot, I needed to find a lot of bugs. That was fun, even if this was not really huge exploits technically, but it's ok.
Now, I just need to wait for the end of the holidays to get bounties, which will help at the start of the year !
Holiday
During this time, I will take some time off, and mostly read articles and take notes. I really enjoy using my iPad Mini for that, it's great to take notes directly on the article and put some tags.
I also want to change some stuff for my branding, work a bit on my websites, and my profiles to have something nice and clear.
See you next week, and happy holidays.
