@0xteknogeek said it best:
"The market is ready for a disruption. Build what HackerOne could have been."
So I did.
Hackadvisor is now a FREE bug bounty host. No fees.
Reports encrypted. Mediation. Crypto & bank payouts coming.
Let's disrupt. 🚀

Everyone starts as a low impact hunter.
Everyone deserves the same chance. If that bothers you thats your opinion.
It doesnt make their experience worthless. Their review is still based on a real interaction with the program. 🤷🏻♂️
When we launched HackAdvisor only verified hackers could leave reviews. We kept it that way for about a year.
Later we changed it because we simply didnt see fake reviews becoming a real problem.
If that ever changes we can always go back to verified reviews only.
You’re absolutely right. I’m just another low impact hacker. That’s probably why HackerOne invited me to the HSP program 😁✊🏻
We dont have thousands of reviews from unverified hackers. It happens pretty rarely.
If it ever becomes a real problem we will simply require verification before posting reviews. Right now there is no reason to do that.🤷🏻♂️
Here is a real example hackadvisor.io/programs/543
The program replied to the hacker and worked through the issue even without verification. That is exactly how the problem you are talking about gets solved.
Simple question. Would you trust these hackers? 🙂@rez0__ @Krevetk0Valeriy
If your answer is yes then I dont see the problem.
I respect your opinion but so far I havent seen any facts showing the rating is broken or causing problems today.🤷🏻♂️
I dont know why this bothers you so much but every bug hunter has seen this at least once.
If fake reviews become a real problem we will solve it. Right now it isnt. If you find one let us know.
So I should spend my time money and nerves proving my case on the platform right? 😄
Funny that platforms never added public reviews themselves. I think we both know why. The people paying the platform are the customers.

That’s fine. We have a different view of the problem.
We’ll let the community decide whether more transparency is useful.🙌🏻
Replying to @fwrnr
I think you should explore the platform before judging it.
Companies can publicly respond to every review, and if a review is false or misleading, they can challenge it and request its status be updated.
Transparency works both ways.
Replying to @fwrnr
Fair enough. But why should only the top 1% define everyone’s experience?
A program doesn’t interact only with the top 1%. It interacts with thousands of legitimate researchers. Their experience matters too.
Replying to @fwrnr
You missed that part. Verified hackers already have badges on HackAdvisor.
And not everyone wants to leave public reviews. Some researchers fear retaliation from companies or platforms. That’s the reality.🙌🏻
Replying to @fwrnr
Even the top 10% of hackers sometimes face platforms or triagers that downgrade severity or misjudge reports. It happens less often—not never.
HackAdvisor exists to increase transparency. Companies with nothing to hide have nothing to fear from honest feedback.
