Bonus Episode #1 - Wes
🕑 Added 2019-02-13 03:10:23 +0000 UTCWow! Together we have reached the goal of $2,000 a month. I am totally blown away by this. But with this, it enables me to start getting some help to make the show. Which will result in some bonus episodes for Patreon supporters. I will be releasing bonus episodes periodically but I don't know how often yet. Hopefully monthly!
Here is the first bonus episode: "Wes".
A bug bounty hunter finds some incredible bugs at Instagram and reports them through the bug bounty program. But after that, it doesn't go as planned.

I am so in love with your podcasts .. it's so eye opening and mind blowing I treasure this ππ
Jeffrey Whinery
Thank you I love your show

I was also wondering if this tied in to the Cambridge Analytica saga.... Have you played with IzotopeRX Jack? I bet you could heal this audio right up with it.
Christopher D Anderson
After listening to that I'm not sure I care what IG/Facebook's side of things is. As I look up the story elsewhere, the Cambridge Analytica data harvesting was first reported in December 2015, which looks to be the month all this went down. I have to wonder whether this was an access point for outside people or organizations because FB said that they paid him even though others had reported the 1st vulnerability before him. Why hadn't they patched or corrected it? Clearly because they didn't want to. Of course, this is my opinion. Sounds like it ought to be an avenue attorneys explore in the facebook multi-district litigation.

Jack! Don't be so hard on yourself - the sound quality is not as bad as you think, and the content quality is A1 as per usual. Glad you did not delete it!

That's awesome that your High School provided a CS course π
Josh Gold
Fantastic, as always. I once had a student who did these bug bounties. He was a senior in high school, taking my AP CS A course, on an ed plan, and failing english. I quickly assured his teachers that I'd help him get through the year, and that he was good to go with a bright future.

Great episode, Jack, thanks! Another podcast I know (embedded.fm) uses some of their Patreon income to mail a decent USB microphone to the people they interview, and have them record their audio locally to avoid VoIP quality issues, maybe something to consider for interviewees who donβt have any half-decent mic hardware.
Marc Enders
Super episode! No worries about the sound quality, the story itself compensates everything :-)

Thanks Jack! Can this be included either: (1. In the add-free feed)or (2. An additional feed for bonus episodes)? Thanks again!
Zeke Uribe
Any idea of when the next bonus episode will be out? Also, I don't see a feed for bonus episodes - perhaps they could be combined directly into the ad-free RSS feed...
Jack Rhysider
Yes will certainly cover it someday. So many stories to do!
Nicholas Teator
Jack I canβt get enough of your show, keep up the great work. Every other Tuesday morning @ 4:00am is the best part of my day. Any chance you could cover SIM hijakcing and/or phone number swaping?
Jack Rhysider
Go to the main darknet diaries patreon page, top right corner should be an RSS feed you can pop in your phone's podcast player.
Jack Rhysider
Working on more now. Got a bit behind for a while, but catching up and getting ahead slowly.
Oskar van Velden
Is there a way to subscribe to some bonus-podcast-link? Or should I just download the file and put it on my phone?
Christopher
Is the the only bonus episode so far?
FlocktimusPrime
The bonus episode keeps reappearing in my Patreon feed even though I have already listened to it. That isn't normal behavior compared to other Patreon feeds I subscribe to. Is that something you could look at?

Appreciate the episode! I am about 2/3 of the way through - pausing it is like inserting a self-made cliffhanger. :-)
Isaac Carter
Awesome episode! Audio wasn't that bad. Thanks for posting it!
Nick Enslow
Really a great episode, glad I got to hear it!
Michelle Jooste
Just love your podcast!! Thanx for these awesome episodes.
Matt South
Tight episode! Don't be afraid Scott. BB programs are much more mature these days.
sc7639
That was a great episode but it highlights some of the fears I have with getting involved with bug bounties add similar things
Dan Janes
Loved the episode. I see why you wouldn't want to release this one due to the audio issues
Gonzalo Perilhou
Good Episode!!
Eliska Achee
That was awesome. Thanks!
Great episode, thanks!
Jose_D_S
Congrats on reaching the goal! The audio was a bit off, but the bonus episode was still totally worth it!
