Fredrick Almroth and Mathias Karlsson are the co-founders of Detectify. This post originally appeared on the Detectify blog. To stay on top on the latest security alerts, we often spend time on bug bounties and CTF’s. When we were discussing the challenge for the weekend, Mathias got an interesting idea: What target can we use against itself? Of course. The Google search engine!
