Crossover: 2014

Chapter 215 Remuneration for submitting bugs

Lin Hui first logged in to the account named "admin" that submitted the vulnerability.

Lin Hui found that the time regression loophole he submitted had been adopted.

This result was within Lin Hui's expectation.

Apple's security engineers are not idiots either.

Such a classic vulnerability caused by the bottom layer of Unix.

Lin Hui believes that Apple's security engineers will not be confused.

Now that you understand it, it is impossible to sit idly by.

The value of this bug for the time regression bug.

The staff of Apple's bug bounty program offered Lin Hui $150 million.

According to Lin Hui's original estimate:
If people on Apple's side are measured based on the complexity and severity of the development chain.

Then the "time regression bug" is worth at least $70.

What Lin Hui submitted was the vulnerability corresponding to the iOS8 beta version.

According to the rules, Lin Ash should receive an additional 50% premium.

If Apple is not tricky in the payment link.

The value of the vulnerability submitted by Lin Hui was more than 105 million US dollars.

Offers now open for $150 million.

It can be said that it is more in line with Lin Hui's expectations.

After all, according to the description of the previous bug bounty program:
"When a security guy submits a bug to a bug bounty program.

Apple said it would measure these vulnerabilities based on the complexity and severity of the development chain.

There is a bounty of up to $100 million per security bug.

And if vulnerabilities can be found in Beta (testing) software.

The highest bounty can be won at a time of 150 million US dollars. "

Now this $150 million is almost the highest bounty that the bug bounty program can submit.

The website does more than just give an offer.

Lin Hui is also required to provide the corresponding settlement method.

For $150 million settlement form.

Lin Hui chose to settle in BTC.

Although it may not be so fast to pay with BitPay.

Users need to make an appointment (submit the vulnerability) any working day after three months as the arrival date.

But Lin Hui was so happy.

After all, in Lin Hui's impression, the price of BTC has been falling in the next few months.

In January 2015, BTC was generally just over two hundred dollars.

In this case, if Lin Hui chooses to arrive at the account in early January 2015.

Doesn't it mean that Lin Hui will actually get more BTC through the time regression loophole?
The bug was worth $150 million.

Then it is estimated at a price of 220 US dollars.

Lin Hui will get 6818 pieces at one time.

According to the price of 6 US dollars in the previous life.

In the next few years, these 6818 coins are also equivalent to 40908 million US dollars.

That is more than 4 million US dollars.

If it is about synthesizing soft sister coins, it will be more than 20 billion?
This is a proper wave of fat rhythm.

Of course this is only in theory.

Theoretical estimates may be good, but the reality is icy.

In fact, it is more troublesome to rely on these discounts.

Unless it is through a more complicated operation or other big dealers are willing to eat it all at once.

Otherwise, sell nearly [-] pieces directly to the market.

It will have a big impact on the market.

The high probability will trigger a series of joint reactions including but not limited to panic.

After all, there will be less than 2000 million BTCs in the next few years.

Of course, this is just a possibility.

Lin Hui didn't intend to make money with this thing either.

Lin Hui had considered this matter more than once before.

It even takes longer to consider than many software aspects.

After all, as a reborn person, even a person who knows nothing about software.

When it comes to making money, there is a high probability that BTC will be the first to come to mind
After all, there have been too many legends about getting rich overnight when it comes to this thing.

Lin Hui is also eager to make money, but what Lin Hui really needs is hot money, not future money.

Simply put, what Lin Hui needs now is real money.

Rather than the money that may be harvested in the future.

There are too many variables involved in the future.

Who can be sure which will come first, tomorrow or the accident?

Lin Hui couldn't be sure about this either.

As for Lin Hui's previous investment in BTC.

It's just a few casual moves inadvertently.

Maybe Lin Hui will take a few more casual moves in this regard in the future.

But it won't be too much of a business.

Lin Hui feels that hoarding more than [-] BTC for future risk avoidance is enough.

There is no need to stock up too much.

If he really wanted to make money, Lin Hui had too many means to make money.

It is not enough to look at something like BTC that can only benefit from one hundred dollars.

Moreover, this kind of thing runs counter to future policies/policies, Lin Hui thinks that it is enough to just taste it.

It's not necessary to go too deep.

Anyway, in Lin Hui's previous life, except for the public hype of this kind of virtual/virtual currency/currency like Mas/gram.

Few of the top business tycoons have expressed a clear view on the matter.

There is no need for Lin Hui to be too obsessed with this.

In short, Lin Hui has no plans to go too deep into this field.

It involves the settlement of bug submission rewards.

Lin Hui chose to settle with bitpay and at the same time agreed the arrival date in January 15.

Although the amount of nearly [-] pieces is not small.

But Lin Hui is not worried that Apple will not be able to produce less than [-] pieces.

Anyway, Apple is also the company that once won the world's number one in later generations.

It's not that there is no such background.

Since Apple has provided BTC as a settlement method, it has a certain and sufficient plan.

In short, Lin Hui felt that the problem was not big.

Lin Hui felt a little regretful.

In the admin account, Lin Hui saw that Apple did not ask Lin Hui how to solve the time regression vulnerability.

Maybe Apple has figured out how to solve this loophole.

After that, Lin Hui used similar security measures to log in to the account nicknamed "root".

It is found that several vulnerabilities submitted by root have not been adopted yet.

Uh, these loopholes are not as easy to find out the logic behind as the previous time regression loophole.

Perhaps Apple's security personnel are still testing?
That being the case, for a short time, Lin Hui didn't have the idea of ​​submitting vulnerabilities anymore.

Let's wait until these loopholes are adopted.

Hastily submitting a lot of vulnerabilities can easily be regarded as "friends".

I remember the Apple bugs submitted by Google technicians in the previous life. After the Apple staff realized the identity of the bug submitters, they basically paid for nothing.

Uh, Lin Hui remembers that there was a lot of technology information about it at the time...

……

……

At about seven o'clock in the evening on June 6th.

Elizabeth Nishi called and invited Lin Hui, asking to meet Lin Hui.

When it comes to the handover of the shortcut command software, Apple sent a technical team.

Elizabeth Nishi is the head of this technical team.

Lin Hui originally refused this meeting.

After all, it's seven o'clock in the evening.

What are you doing to meet at this time?
It is impossible to work overtime.

It is impossible to work overtime in this life. . .
