From NSO Group Hacker to Web3 Security Researcher: An Interview with Trust
An interview with Trust, ex-NSO Group hacker turned web3 bounty hunter and independent security researcher. In just under a year, Trust has rocketed to the top of the code4rena leaderboard, and has made waves on both code4rena and Immunefi.
In this conversation, we delve into Trust's background as an exploit developer at NSO Group, and learn more about his decision to leave and pursue a career in web3 security. Trust discusses his work performing audits on code4rena, participating in bug bounties on Immunefi, and shares with us his methodology and mindset around bounty hunting and security research.
