Generally speaking, the word hacking triggers an alarm. However, when you do hacking for good work it is called ethical hacking. Ethical hacking is used for finding bugs in software or web tools. Ethical hacking is a well-paid job. These days a lot of youngsters are learning ethical hacking and they are making a career out of it.

I used the word cybersecurity analyst, not hacker or doing the hacking; however she used to misuse her skill when she hacked her neighbor's Wi-Fi.
There are many youngsters who are turned bounty hunter in this field, this is good that they are using their skills to help to prevent hacking.

This reminds me of my younger days as a computer programmer for mainframes. Our language is COBOL and IBM Assembler. My moniker in the office is debugger because when a programmer couldn't solve the bug of the program then they come to me. Pardon me for bragging. With the topic it would be interesting to be a bug hunter although that is a tedious job to do continuous testing of websites and applications.

Everything depends on people's choice, they do what they like and this is good to, this give them money and satisfaction both. There are hundreds of young Bug hunters, as I mentioned it the topic, Aditi was rewarded for same problem by other companies like Facebook, TicToc etc, but this is not a fixed job.​

When I heard about a 16 years old local kid who earned $2000 through bug bounty hunting, I became fascinated with this career option. However, I had to control my emotion because I was required to learn programming and have expert ethical level hacking skills. I am doing well in my profession, so I gave up on this idea.
