news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-04-02 06:53:12

For the first time in bug bounty history, an autonomous penetration tester has reached the top spot on the US leaderboard. Our path to reaching the top ranks on HackerOne began with rigorous benchmarking. Since the early days of XBOW, we understood how crucial it was to measure our progress, and we did that in two stages: First we tested XBOW with existing CTF challenges (from well-known providers like PortSwigger and Pentesterlab), then quickly moved on and built our own unique benchmark that

It won numerous awards, including Game of the Year and Action Game of the Year at the 24th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards. It also made history as the first (and so far only) game to win a Hug
