Before we start, I will like to say, All these programs listed are not mandatory for you to contribute to open source.

But you can contribute to open source even if you don't get selected for these programs, you can always contribute to open source programs anytime you want.

I joined the OSCA Africa Open Source Challenge 2021 which Started on 16th of August 2021.

Having your Linux environment set, is also one of the essentials to getting your assignments done in any pentesting, security class or day to day work.

So I started participating in bug bounty not so long and after a lot of read ups and web app practice, I found a stored XSS on quite a big education platform which i was using for learning web development last year.

Yeah, just wanna share to a little story about the bypass of an authentication through source code reading.
