Can you promote in r/bugbounty?

A place to discuss bug bounty and responsible disclosure. Share write-ups, tools, blog posts, and news, ask questions, and give feedback on issues facing the bug bounty community.

The short answer

Provide high-quality, on-topic help first; if mentioning your product, be transparent, ensure it is free/useful, avoid links or sales language, and consider asking mods before posting.

What works here

  • Answer technical questions and share expertise
  • Share free tools or write-ups that add clear value
  • Request or provide feedback in a non-promotional way

What gets posts removed

  • Posting paid/monetized tools, ads, or recruitment posts
  • Using posts primarily for lead generation or sales
  • Bragging about bounties or low-effort promotional content
