White hat hackers legally hack into companies like Uber, Atlassian - Business Insider

"I think one of the really interesting things about the perception the hacker community has is how quickly we jump to a stereotype about what people say when they imagine a hacker," Rice told Business Insider. "They imagine someone in their basement, usually a really antisocial individual, but when you look at the people who are participating in contributing value to the platform, the diversity of their backgrounds and the paths they took to hacking is really astonishing.

André Baptista, a 25-year-old professor at the University of Portugal, is also a white hat hacker who has made over $130,000 in bug bounties. He first got his start when he found a book in his father's cabinet about programming. He would later study computer science in college. However, he started hacking when he became involved in Capture the Flag , a hacking game in which players try to find vulnerabilities in simulated scenarios.

"The payouts are really amazing as well," Baptista said. "My life has changed completely because of HackerOne." "I love to be in multiple places," Baptista said. "I love to do some hacking when I'm working at the university when I have some spare time between meetings and classes...When I go somewhere like London, Amsterdam when I go there, I'm very inspired because I have no other distractions and I can hack and find some critical bugs."White hat hacking also happens within some companies.

"The people who had these skills were largely pushed underground," Rice said. "The folks who did it did it out of a labor of love. It wasn't the most obvious way to create a living. It was really a smaller community that was overwhelmingly people who were there because they were passionate about making technology secure."

"It's pretty crazy to think about how you would have hackers partner with enterprises but that's exactly what's happening today," Rice said. "We're able to be more transparent about it. We're able to teach people how to hack in an environment that's underground. We're able to compensate people for it fairly. We're embracing hacking as a necessary and critical step.
