Frans Rosén Interview at h1-702 in Las Vegas during DEF CON
Frans is an MVP hacker, we all know this. But he also is officially the current reigning HackerOne Most Valuable Hacker. Watch the video to see how he approaches hacking, what it’s like finding a big bug, why he loves h1-702, and more. Frans’ Quotes from the video: The best way to learn to build stuff is to learn how to break it. I read a lot, I study a lot, I fiddle around with it. I actually do a lot of research. I’m not the guy who reads books about secret agents and stuff, I read blogs about security issues in product. Why HackerOne? HackerOne for me has always been a platform that enables companies to interact with hackers. That has always been the core concept. It almost feels like an independent place, there’s a lot of community around it. It’s a great platform to make the two teams collaborate and make awesome things together. About H1-702 HackerOne has always been my priority thing at DEF CON. Before this event I’m like “it’s gonna be awesome, we’re gonna hang out”. And then I come here and I’m like super competitive and I’m like “I need to focus, I need to find stuff.” If I get invited I’m like, I’m gonna show them. I want to show them why I should be here. We collaborate we work together, we compete against each other but we also work as a team. Everything is super exciting. It becomes natural to just stay at this part the whole weekend, just to hang out and party. Like it’s a big party. The benefit of this is we actually are helping companies to be more safe. And we’re helping the internet to be more safe. And also, we get something out of it. So it’s like, it’s a competition but something also that saves the world somehow. We’re all here in an experiment, nobody has any clue what is right, what is wrong - we’re just trying to learn and create something that has never been done before. We’re writing history. For real.
