Open Bug Bounty

Global (VDP-style)

Overview

Coordinated disclosure platform for websites that may not run paid programs. Good for practice and portfolio building; payouts are not guaranteed.

How to make the most of it

  • · Use for ethical practice on listed targets after confirming participation.
  • · Focus on clean writeups and responsible disclosure timelines.
  • · Do not treat as a primary income platform.
  • · Build reporting muscle and ethics discipline for paid platforms later.
  • · Prefer non-destructive proofs and clear remediation advice.

Basic rules

  • Only report against sites participating / eligible under OBB rules.
  • No aggressive exploitation or data theft.
  • Follow OBB disclosure windows.
  • Do not demand payment outside their model.
  • Be accurate—false reports waste everyone's time.

Always read the live program policy — platform norms never override scope.
