Whiten Baker — Researcher Validation Lab
Offensive Service · Researcher Validation Lab

You found the bug.
We prove it kills.

Most vulnerability reports die at triage — not because the bug is fake, but because the proof is weak and the impact is vague. We fix that.

Killed FindingsNo charge

Submit your finding. We run it through the same methodology that produced 20+ CVEs across CometBFT, Celestia, SuperTokens, Infisical, and Cosmos SDK.

If your bug is real, you get back a battle-tested report that clears triage in minutes, not days. If it isn’t real, we tell you before you waste 30 minutes writing a report that gets closed Informative. An N/A hurts your reputation. A kill saves it.

proof How It Works

Three Stages. One Outcome. No Theories.

Your finding goes through three adversarial passes before we touch a single line of proof-of-concept code.

01
Stage 1 — The Kill Loop

Most findings die here. That is the point.

Three adversarial passes, each designed to destroy the finding before it costs you anything.

PASS 1 — Is this intended behavior, or a design choice?
PASS 2 — Is the vulnerable code reachable in production?
PASS 3 — Can we build a concrete exploit, or is this a theory?

Every dead finding is 30 minutes you did not waste on a report that gets closed N/A.

02
Stage 2 — The Proof

A concrete exploit a triager can verify in under five minutes.

Survivors get a working proof of concept. Not a screenshot of a 200 OK. Not a chain that “could potentially” work.

IDOR — victim data in the response from the attacker session.
XSS — cookie exfiltration, not alert boxes.
SSRF — internal service responses, not DNS callbacks.
AUTH BYPASS — admin access from an unprivileged account.

If we cannot build the proof, we tell you. No charge for killed findings.

03
Stage 3 — The Report

This is where the money is made.

Every report includes a Preemptive Triage Defense section. We anticipate every objection a triager will raise — “Not PII.” “Non-enumerable.” “By design.” “Requires auth.” “Low impact.” — and answer each with evidence before they ask.

Triagers read our reports and have nothing left to push back on. That is how we cleared triage in under 5 minutes on a program with a 15-hour average. Your name. Your submission. Your payout. We just made it bulletproof.

What You Get

Four deliverables. Every engagement.

Kill Loop Results

Three-pass adversarial analysis with written reasoning for every kill. If your bug dies, you know exactly why — and where to stop spending time.

Working Proof of Concept

Copy-paste reproduction steps. Exact HTTP requests. Two-account confirmation where applicable. Real data in responses, not templates.

Triage-Ready Report

Structured for HackerOne, Bugcrowd, Intigriti, or Immunefi. Impact-first writing, honest CVSS, and preemptive defense against every known downgrade argument.

Watermark Protection

Every report carries invisible watermarks. If a vendor patches silently using your report without credit or payment, the watermark proves they read it. Your work stays yours.

watchdog Program Watchdog

We rate bounty programs so you know where to hunt.

Monthly audits of bounty programs. Public. Factual. No slander. Just data. What we measure:

  • Average triage time
  • Silent patch count — security fixes shipped without CVEs or advisories
  • Researcher ghosting rate — disclosures ignored past 90 days
  • Payout accuracy — severity rating vs. actual payout
  • CVE issuance rate — do they credit researchers or bury the findings?

Programs that treat researchers fairly get good ratings and attract better talent. Programs that ghost, steal, and silent-patch get documented by their own commit history. We audit public repositories, public commits, public patch history. The data speaks for itself.

Why Us

We are not a scanning service. We hunt the targets you hunt.

We do not run Burp Suite and hand you a PDF. We file CVEs. We build PoCs. We have been ghosted, stolen from, and silent-patched — and we built this service because we know exactly what kills a report at triage, and how to make one that survives.
