Calling up all the Bug Bounty Hunters!
DataSpace Academy is hosting a Live Bug Bounty Contest that comes with a grand bounty reward for up to 5 lakhs INR. The bounty hunters will be given a live bug bounty project of a company and they have to detect a list of bugs within the stipulated time. There is a bounty reward for every bug detected and the first hunter to detect the maximum number of bugs will win the highest reward.

How Does it Work?



Revolution in the world of Penetration Testing
DataSpace Academy is the FIRST to offer Bug Bounty Challenge in an “Offline setting”.
Prior to this, CTF was the only major ethical hacking challenge that was offered online and Bug Bounty was mostly hosted on online platforms. But DataSpace Academy is all set to create a welcome disruption by offering the Bug Bounty Challenge offline.
How does Bug Bounty offer a more rewarding experience than CTF?
Sr. No. | Capture The Flag (CTF) | Bug Bounty |
---|---|---|
1 | Covers Pentesting on a specific area | Covers a broader area |
2 | Limited scope due to pre-defined challenges | Unlimited scope as the contest covers live real-life application testing scenario |
3 | Covers challenges in a step-by-step process | Does not follow a step-by-step process and rather focuses mostly on the bount hunter’s understanding of the application |
4 | Extremely limited practical exposure | Huge practical exposure which offers huge learning opportunity for ethical hackers |
