Crossover: 2014

Chapter 67 iOS Bug Bounty Program
Although he didn't sleep all night, Lin Hui didn't feel tired at all.

Not only did I not feel tired, but I felt full of energy.

Is it because of the incentive of money?

Or is it because his body has been strengthened to a certain extent after rebirth?

But Lin Hui felt that the probability was the latter.

After all, I have been soft on collecting money recently.

Lin Hui has become numb to money.

But having said that, if the space-time tunnel really strengthened his body.

Will it also strengthen the mobile phone that traveled with him together?

Well, despite such speculation.

It is impossible for Lin Hui to try to drop it.

It would be more embarrassing in case of "try and die".

After all, for quite some time, Lin Hui still relied on the mobile phone from his previous life to seek profit.

Lin Hui gave up his wild thinking.

But after all, he was not very sleepy, and Lin Hui didn't go to bed.

Instead, continue to wander around on some overseas portals.

Not long after, Lin Hui's attention was attracted by such a message:

-Apple officially opened the iOS bug bounty program.

Lin Hui remembered that in his previous life, it was not until 2019 that Apple officially opened the iOS bug bounty program to the public.

This time and space actually opened up ahead of schedule.

Before implementing the iOS bug bounty program.

Apple only opens up its invitation-based bug bounty program to select security researchers.

And after accepting the iOS security defect report, the bonus amount is relatively low.

Now, Apple has fully opened up its bug bounty program.

That certainly means starting today.

Any security researcher who finds a bug in iOS, OS X, or iCloud can earn a hefty cash bounty from Apple for disclosing the vulnerability to Apple.

(ps:... In 2016, OS X was renamed macOS)

Follow this news.

Apple said it would increase the bounty cap from $20 per bug to as high as $100 million, depending on the nature of the bug (judging criteria is based on the complexity and severity of the development chain).

The largest bounty, $100 million, will be awarded to a persistent zero-click kernel code execution vulnerability.

In addition, Apple also said that if the vulnerability can be found in the beta version (testing version) of the software.

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

It's like a heifer flying a plane.

From iOS7 to iOS15, vulnerabilities can be said to emerge in endlessly.

For a moment, Lin Hui seemed to have found a long-term meal ticket.

Isn't the speed of getting money much faster than developing software?

Although Lin Hui is not a security expert.

However, all kinds of messy information software (technology division) in the previous life like to report things related to iOS security vulnerabilities.

Lin Hui remembered reading an article called "36 Most Serious Vulnerabilities in iOS History" on "50 Krypton" a few days before rebirth.

Lin Hui read it and thought it was a pretty good article

Generally have the habit of caching or taking screenshots.

I have to say, this is really a good habit!

(o゜▽゜)o☆[BINGO!]
Look through the mobile phone in the previous life.

The harvest was far richer than Lin Hui expected.

Not only did he discover the article "36 Most Serious Vulnerabilities in iOS History" that he had read not long ago in the software "50Krypton".

An article such as "Google Announces 16 Major iOS Vulnerabilities: Attacks Can Be Launched Through iMessage" was also found.

Besides.

Lin Hui also found an article titled "Classic Bugs in iOS from Ancient to Present You Don't Know!" on Jian/Book.

After that, he saw a lot of similar news in today/day/head/tiao.

For example, "iOS Re-exposed Major Security Vulnerabilities Caused Unlimited iPhone Reboots"

"Inventory of Weird iOS Vulnerabilities in Past Generations, How Many Have You Been Hit?" "

News like "Why iOS11 is called bugOS".

……

Of course, there are also many reports of vulnerabilities related to Windows, Android, and Tesla.

But Lin Hui doesn't care about these for the time being.

After rummaging through the phone for a while

Lin Hui also found one in the previously cached video of 哔/哩/哔/哩:
Videos like "Vulnerabilities Collection of Official Version of iOS 8".

And isn't iOS 8 the new generation of iOS that Apple plans to release at this year's WWDC?

Although the official version of iOS 8 has not yet been released.

But now iOS 8 Beta version already exists.

It doesn't make sense that bugs that exist in the official version don't exist in the beta version.

(ps:...except for the operating systems of some strange mobile phone manufacturers, the beta version is more stable than the development version)

And this year's WWDC will be held soon if there are more than ten days left.

That is to say, in more than ten days, the current iOS 8 beta version is likely to be converted into an official version.

In other words, Lin Hui has to hurry up if he wants to submit a bug.

After all, you can get 50% more money for reporting bugs in beta versions than in official versions.

　(Short-term goal, get 1 million US dollars in a reasonable and legal way)
