Let’s get back to the story. so I saw a report in which it was explained that there was a Dos vulnerability in the Hackerone website.
so what he actually did that he changed his profile name with a 3MB sized name text. He used the burp suite tool during this process. even the burp suite couldn’t handle the name(3MB). it was just random characters in that. then he made the request to its profile and he saw that the page taking too much time to load.
He was given 2,500 dollars to find this vulnerability. You can read more with the screenshot of the burp suite and more description, Click Here.
