About Hackrate

Hackrate Bug Bounty platform helps organizations to identify software vulnerabilities in a cost-efficient way.

A bug bounty is about utilizing the power of crowdsourced security to secure businesses. During a bug bounty program, an organization offers rewards to ethical hackers for reporting vulnerabilities.

Cybersecurity threats are evolving, and malicious hackers don’t follow
a predefined security methodology. These risks impact your company’s growth. So how can you protect confidential information? How can you avoid your website being hacked? This next-generation security testing can help you to prevent potential data breaches and reduce cybersecurity risks.

This global community of ethical hackers is a guarantee against software bugs.
The bug bounty program helps businesses build trust with all of their stakeholders.
With incentivized security testing, teams can optimize their costs on cybersecurity.

    Pros:
    I'm using Hackrate as a bounty hunter, and I found that there is a great team behind Hackrate. They validated my previous reports fast.
    Cons:
    Small number of bug bounty programs. They are using CAPEC instead of CWE, it was a bit strange for me at the first time, but it is very similar in most of the cases.

    My experience with Hackrate Bug Bounty Platform

    4

    My overall experience is absolute positive. They have professional analysts with short response times. Also they provide decent amount of reward for the bounties, and the reputation / badge system is well designed. Also for companies, who want to know their assets are safe, this opportunity provides reasonable assurance, because of the numerous userbase will make sufficient work on the targets.

    Pros:
    I'm pleased to have the opportunity to be a part of a Hungarian BugBounty platform. During the years I spent with BB on various platforms, I can say that Hackrate has really quick response time. I'm the part of the platform for almost one year, and I can barely say, that they are constantly evolving, and the most important thing is they listen to their community, and try to establish development approaches based on the user's feedback.
    Cons:
    There are not many programs to test on, but since the platform is new, they have to find their place on the market, and I'm sure they will be flooded with clients.

    Decent Emerging Platform

    Decent but it can't be only way to work in bug bounties. I would have to work on other platforms like intigriti, bugcrowd, etc. to sustain my income.

    Pros:
    Less Competition. Fast resolution. Amazing technical support.
    Cons:
    Low number of paid programs. Program I worked on had user issues that were not announced to researchers. So more communication with researchers would be better.

    Reasons for switching to Hackrate

    High competition in bugcrowd. I struggled for a long time to find bugs there.

    Pros:
    The Hackrate platform is easy to use and provides a great coverage to discover vulnerabilities in software. They are continuously expanding their researcher community.
    Cons:
    Nothing. Maybe it is a bit less advanced than the major bug bounty platforms, but they fully compensate this with attention and customer support.
