Episode 43: In this episode of Critical Thinking - Bug Bounty Podcast, we're joined by Emile from Caido, who shares his journey into the bug bounty and ethical hacking world. We kick off with a hilarious incident involving Joel, a child on an airplane, and an unfortunate cough. We then dive into the challenges of building an HTTP proxy tool, balancing basic features with nice-to-have features, and the importance of user feedback in shaping the development of Caido, a bug bounty tool.
