HowIs (Awards Ceremony) Bugs Zone 6.0

Hi! I was at Awards Ceremony of Bugs Zone 6.0. It’s bugbounty private event!

 

# Activities

There was one short presentation - it revealed interesting common bug that I’ve been missing.

After that there was game - Jeopardy but about bugbounty and community. It was fun and for correct answer you would get plushie of BI.ZONE Bug Bounty mascot.

And of course there were vendors who presented awards for cool hackers! Unfortunately half of the hunters weren’t present. Anyway I’ve seen familiar faces and I liked to talk with them!

There was ‘secret’ activity which would require to bring laptop. But when it was revealed I wasn’t interested in it.

There were more games: air hockey and beer pong. Also tasty food and drinks.

And in the end there was karaoke!

# What I didn’t like

  • Chairs at presentation hall was quite spine breaking.
  • Place was a bit overcrowded for my taste
  • Bringing laptop for ‘secret’ activity
  • Air hockey table wasn’t providing enough air

# What I liked

  • Presentation with common bug
  • Jeopardy
  • Talking with friends (and learning more interesting bugs))0)
  • Food - one of the most tender meat
  • Drinks - wanna save that energy drink can, ha-ha
  • Disgracing myself at karaoke :)

# Conclusion

I would like more games and probably more social interaction activities. But I was having fun talking anyway.

It wasn’t as epic as Standoff Hacks Ahmedabad, but still fun! I would like to participate in main bugbounty event but their invitation system is unclear and anyway I would need to hunt on BI.ZONE platform, but I currently hunting on Standoff (and trying to compete on their scoreboard).
