My experience in Microsoft code.fun.do Hackathon - where I executed my idea of new feature to Social networking sites.

Hackathon was conducted on March 10th,2018 on Campus.

Phase I - Registration
Phase II - Idea Proposal
Phase III - 24 hrs time to code / develop the product.
Phase IV - Demo to judges.

The idea which I worked was never implemented in any social networking sites, may be someone from one of them must see this post and start working on it.
This is a feature that could be added to Social networking sites where user updates his/her statuses or  describes photos.
This is a cool feature (as Justin Timberlake says in the movie "The Social Network" that "Facebook" is cool) ,
The thought that was going in my mind :
"The user will never experience posting statuses the same as it was before". "Styling the statuses".
Summary of the WebApp: Users can post statuses using the font or color they wish for individual words.


After giving the demo, the judges liked this feature as it is new and never implemented anywhere.

$1337 YouTube Community (Posts) bug

YouTube Community  is a feature that is only available for Channels with  1. Verified Phone numbers 2.  A significant history, more content for years. In the early June I started hunting for Security flaws on YouTube I was roaming around the features but most of the places have been found secure or already potential features had the bugs fixes in place. The Community Tab is now Posts So, I thought to exploit Youtube Community feature. I was trying to delete the Posts using IDOR attacks but it didn't work I was tired of trying various attacks but thought to compromise to the least "Privilege escalation".  The Security flaw... A user (victim) created a YT Community post, later an attacker while being an Admin of the same Channel has saved the HTTP Request that deletes a Community Post / Poll, then the attacker can replay that HTTP Request after he's demoted from Admin to Subtitle Editor  that would delete the Post / Poll. I exploited this flaw I tried after 15 ...

Google form setting Bypass - Making my way to the Google's Hall of Fame !

  G o o g l e ! Bug : Circumventing "Limit to 1 response" of  Google forms  ( Parameter Injection )        Discovered on: 30th, November 2016.            Research Time: 2:00 p.m to 9:30 p.m. Earn more by display ads on blog with  Lithific Ads The setting is "Limit to 1 response" which means only one response per user.

There is no way to edit or fill another form (Hurdle 1). I created a test form and checked "Edit after submit". Once this test form is filled I can change the previous response.  I clicked on the "Edit your  response"and intercepted the request.  I changed the form id and forwarded the request. I was able to see the form that was submitted. When I edited the form and submitted, a blank form ...
