How long do you think it takes for someone to find an exploit? Sure, a long time ago I found problems in web pages by clicking "view source" and going "I wonder what happens if.." and doing POST/GET with a huge buffer, or with "\");...." embedded in it.

These days companies that take their security seriously are hopefully harder to exploit. If it takes someone a couple months of slow fuzzing/etc to find an exploit that is probably below market for the persons skills here in the US.

Maybe a part of these bug bounties should be not only how critical the bug is, but some metric of how much work the individual put in before finding the problem.

Any one individual could put in an arbitrarily huge amount of work, or claim to have, in order find a bug.

How do we classify what constitutes work to find any particular bug?
