Jakob, an Application Security consultant from Australia, shares his return to bug bounty hunting on his blog. Initially starting bug bounties in 2020, Jakob found several notable bugs and even earned a Bugcrowd MVP award. However, a busy 2021 with professional and personal commitments, including developing a secure software course, building a house, and having a baby, caused a hiatus.

Now, settled into his new routine, Jakob is drawn back to bug bounty hunting for various reasons such as professional development, improving security skills, building new tools, gaining experience, networking, and fun.

He plans to keep his blog informal and educational, sharing his journey and insights. His weekly approach includes setting a schedule, reactivating accounts, setting up his hacking environment, reviewing old notes, researching latest tools and techniques, and beginning automation planning.

Jakob aims to share his learning process with others interested in bug bounty hunting and application security.
