DDS runs Bug Bounties for the Department of Defense.
A Bug Bounty is a time-boxed assessment where monetary rewards are given to security researchers/ethical hackers in exchange for reporting bugs or vulnerabilities in systems. Some of our past DoD business partners/asset owners have included the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marine Corps, DoD agencies and offices, and the Pentagon itself.
To start the process for running a Bug Bounty please email us at hackthepentagon [at] dds.mil and we will get back to you as soon as possible to determine if you are a good candidate to run a Bug Bounty.
Note: we do not work directly with security researchers. To work with us, sign-up with a vendor in the crowdsourced vulnerability area. Some US vendors we work with include: Bug Crowd, HackerOne, and Synack.
“DDS/CDAO do not have any involvement in this process and vendor listings may change at any time and do not reflect endorsement by the Department of Defense or the United States Government.
