How I hacked Github again
Exactly. + if github would really ask me for consulting I'd consider working for free, just for a testimonial.

I have a question for you! Roughly how many hours do you think you've spent looking for bugs on github before you found these stream of exploits?

0. I spent less than an hour last year because there was no proper motivation.

Ah. How did you get the motivation now? How long did it take to find these bugs?

They launched bounty, this was the motivation to check things i always wanted to check. It took me about 4-5 hours, most of that time I was watching TV shows.
