Teaching Bug Bounty Leaderboard

This leaderboard tracks maintainer-confirmed vulnerabilities reported by students across my teaching activities. The goal is simple: encourage students to move beyond toy examples, engage with real systems, and learn how high-quality security work creates real fixes in the world.

I strongly encourage students to do real-world hacking responsibly instead of staying only with toy examples. If your work leads to a real maintainer-confirmed vulnerability, it will be rewarded through course credit, public recognition on this page, or both, depending on the course.

  • The Approach column can describe a manual audit, a semi-automated workflow, or a custom auditor that a team built.
  • The Bug Gallery column points to a collection page for the real bugs that a student or team has found, when such a page is available.
  • Submissions are added after maintainer confirmation and whatever reporting workflow is used in the relevant course.
