Writing Reports That Get You Hired
The deliverable that separates a hacker from a professional.
Anyone can find a bug; professionals communicate it. Your report is the actual product. A clear report can matter more than the exploit itself.
Anatomy of a great finding
- Title & severity — concise, with a CVSS-style rating.
- Description — what the vulnerability is, in plain language.
- Steps to reproduce — exact, numbered, copy-pasteable.
- Evidence — screenshots, requests/responses, proof-of-concept.
- Impact — the business consequence (data theft, account takeover…).
- Remediation — a concrete, actionable fix.
