Do bug bounties pay if blind remote buffer overflow? - charlesanthony - Feb 6, 2026

Would it be indicative if the first stack canary byte is “\x00” and you test another byte and it causes the child to crash. Is this enough to warrant being paid? Is it thorough enough if I provide my fuzzing script I coded? I tried on socket closed but it was obvious buffer overflow and closed it as informative.
