Hey guys, welcome to my thread.

Today I'm going to tell you a short story of how I fixed a millionaire's website.

Let us begin.

Around 2-3 months ago I was short on money, like real short; bills were coming in and due to this recession I couldn't find a job to make a living. Times were tough.

So this forced me to move my skills into whatever I could make a profit from, so I tried to develop myself within the skills of SQLi & XSS; in using this I managed to find an exploit within the website named: Minus.

The exploit I found was a persistent XSS exploit, meaning those who visited the link could be manipulated in such a way; I won't delve into detail due to hacking strictly prohibited, however I decided I would contact John Xie (young entrepreneur of 2010 runner up; or winner I can't quite remember).

I have images of our conversation;

What I said:

His reply:

I recieved this PM last night:

Any guesses to what the goodies might be?

Hope you enjoyed the read.

I doubt it's any clothing, unless they asked what size you wear. Most likely going to be some cheap little stuff. But anyways, this is way cool, good job man.

Your going to get a poodle. Lmao
 
RE: I fixed a Millionaire's website.

I am feeling like a couch cushion that says Minus on it
 
RE: I fixed a Millionaire's website.

Oh well! I'm just happy I helped. I could have made a cookie-stealer and sold VIP Minus accounts. Probably be the only one-man shop to do that so they need to appreciate what I did. I will update this post with a picture when they send it; if they send it. This guys a millionaire why should he help me?
 
RE: I fixed a Millionaire's website.

More than likely you will get like a shirt, pencil, mug, hat. stuff like that. Perhaps you will get lucky and get something better such as a ipod, or ipad.
 
He sent me an e-mail with any tips;

I then replied with my suggestion;

If anyone has any suggestions on how he can improve his website I will contact Mr Xie and credit you.

Yes but quicker. You don't have to have an account.

Just visit Minus.com then drag and drop a picture on to the site and it'll auto upload and then right click the picture and copy image location.

You can upload anything.
 
This is pretty cool! Congrats bro!
