Record-breaking 2nd annual H1-415 Live-hacking event with Oath in San Francisco
Record. Breaking. Day. H1-415 | 2018 was our second annual live-hacking event in our hometown of San Francisco. And we went big - bigger than ever in fact with Oath paying out over $400,000 in bounties. Boom! We also hosted a community day with Bay Area-based junior high and senior high students to learn about hacking and cybersecurity. They got to meet hackers, learn how they got started and the opportunities that have come about through participating in bug bounty programs. The day also included a career panel featuring Shopify, Oath, Salesforce and HackerOne about cybersecurity, career building, and diversity. The community sessions concluded with a hands on workshop lead by HackerOne co-founder Jobert Abma. While the workshops were going on, 40 hackers from around the world were hunting bugs in Oath’s various assets: Yahoo, Tumblr, Verizon Media Services, Huffington Post, Engadget, Techcrunch and more… The result? Over $400,000 paid in bounty rewards. Here are the H1-415 award winners! * The Exalted (most reputation earned) went to nnwakelam, an Australian hacker who earned nearly 1,000 reputation points over the course of the day. * The Assassin (highest signal) went to smsecurity, a first time live-hacking attendee from Canada. * The Exterminator (best bug) went to erbbysam, who for the second event in a row won a top hacker award. * The Country Competition winners (the team that earned the most bounties for the day) were fransrosen and avlidienbrunn of TeamSweden. * The Most Valuable Hacker (MVH) went to nnwakelam!
