About me
I rely mostly on software and tools to do what I do.
I have some knowledge because I have been doing this since 2008, but I’m not (by far) a pro.
I do the best I can with what I got/know.
I developed a private tool, by modifying an existing SQL Injection Scanner, written in php, and also created a python bot to automatize the searching process. With this and the use of other open source software, I managed to find lots of vulnerabilities that I report to the respective system owners. From those reports, I got a couple of recommendation letters and was mentioned in a Hall of Fame in the website of OLX.com for an XSS vulnerability I reported to their Bug Bounty Program. I also participated in the Yahoo Bug Bounty Program, where I found a SQL Injection in an out-of-scope domain, and in Miniclip Bug Bounty Program with a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability.
Nowadays I work in a small store creating and maintaining a website and private software for the automatization of the work tasks in the store.
I like to be active in the hacking and security community so if you are a hacker and feel like it shot me a msg to paulorcchoupina[at]gmail[dot]com
Love from Portugal! Cheers.
