Google has just launched an exciting opportunity for tech enthusiasts and cybersecurity experts to put their bug-hunting skills to the test while earning substantial rewards. The tech giant’s latest initiative, the v8CTF challenge, invites participants to discover bugs and exploit vulnerabilities in Chrome’s v8 JavaScript and Google Cloud.
The v8CTF challenge is designed as a capture-the-flag (CTF) style competition, tailored for skilled exploit writers. This initiative falls under Google’s standard Vulnerability Reward Program (VRP), where successful bug hunters have the chance to earn significant sums of money by identifying and demonstrating the seriousness of security vulnerabilities within any subsidiary of Google or Alphabet.
