/g/ is too smart for dealing with pleb shit like this
who gives a fuck. Why make this thread
>>54373023
>He'll use the money to buy a football and a bike
Dream big, kiddo.
Actually I want to revise my fine statement.
It's 2016 and big services are still vulnerable to either SQL injection or scripting in comments and that is disgusting.
So what did he do? What was the bug?
>>54373232
Apparently he found away to delete other peoples' comments, through the comment system, I guess by inserting scripts into his comments.
>xss
good times
>>54373454
It's the current year. Why is that even still a thing.
Good kid.
I hope that his parents aren't mentally retarded idiots, and that they spend some of that money on a new computer for him while reserving the rest for his education.
Kid's got a good head on his brain and this money could unlock that potential if it is funneled into the right classes and education.
>>54373023
So he went full script kiddy on something that should not be vulnerable to script kiddie shit in the current year?
Sounds almost like those trick questions were the answer appears to be so simple that it fools people to think of something else.
>>54373045
They finally arrived :^)

>it's TOO obvious for me too see
>>54373129
Yep, I do sys admin work for a company that develops software for financial traders/brokers and we just recently had a pen-test, they found so many vulnerable sql injection points in the inhouse software it was amazing, we don't even have curry muncher programmers either.
Like i program as a hobby and the day1 introduction to sql queries is to sanitize your queries lmao
>>54373526
The kid lives in finland so education is basically free
$10,000 buys a lot of vodka in finland
>>54373023
That's fucking awesome. I hope he gets far and doesn't take his future job taken by rajeets.
>>54373555
>Like i program as a hobby and the day1 introduction to sql queries is to sanitize your queries lmao
This entire situation is just so stupid.
Whoever thought it would be a good idea to have a running program generate human-readable source code and then compile it on the fly is a fucking moron.
Almost as stupid as the people compiling a program on every single page request instead of compiling it once + running it many times.

Free education as in free college/uni education?
Even besides that, paying for a proper tutor would be good, especially if the tutor is working in the digital security field which would also unlock some connections and job prospects before he even starts higher education.
There's always a way to get an edge and since it is his dream to do security, making social contacts with people in the field is a great thing for him.
>>54373023
Instagram paid out more to that kid because they knew it'd be a big news story
The average payout is something like 1.5k
>>54373023
a PR move so people forget when they didn't payout the guy found an exploit to get remote root access to instagram and facebook's servers
>>54373807
>Free education as in free college/uni education?
Yes, welcome to europe.
>>54373023
Impressive. I don't think I could have done that at that age.
>>54373807
>Free education as in free college/uni education?
Yes, 100% FREE
>Even besides that, paying for a proper tutor would be good,
Tutors are 100% FREE. If you need extra help, a tutor is provided for you FREE of charge.
>There's always a way to get an edge and since it is his dream to do security, making social contacts with people in the field is a great thing for him.
He lives in Finland. Have you ever heard of Finland? They're basically blue eyed Asians.
>>54373781
It would get you plenty more in pretty much any other country.
>>54373023
Capitalism is truly a system were only the best and brightest 10 year olds succeed.
And women.

>people who spot chinks in Facebookâs digital armour are given a reward.

>>54373023
THATS ONLY 1K FOR EVERY YEAR HE'S BEEN ALIVE
STILL A NET DRAIN ON HUMANITY
>>54373807
>>54373526
he doesn't need any of that. everything you could possibly need in life is provided to you for free in finland. he should spend it on booze and hookers because why the fuck not.

this is so fucking wrong, i had to pay like 500 euros a year in high school for books and other stuff, in america atleast high school is pretty much free.
>>54374484
Free education is one of the most important things to have in europe.
>even 10 year old is better than you
Somehow it doesn't surprise me.
>>54373807
Not free in norway.. have to give them ~75 usd pr. year... The nerve on some people.. Fucking pisses me off..
>>54374484
Germanfag here, at my high school we always borrowed our books.
Should have asked for more. Although as another anons have mentioned, how does this still happen?
>>54373023
I'm impressed. Good for him.

Making social contacts with money?
Are you stupid?
If companies read that shit he will get plenty of social contacts completely for free.
