In Kazan always something happening. Probably, the city is good PR-manager …
This time just ordinary, unremarkable studentishka from Kazan found in video sharing YouTube a serious vulnerability that a few hours later famous throughout the world.
It turns on YouTube there is a small “hole” through which you can remove all all videos. One by one, the truth. But – you can!
became interested in the principle of operation of an Internet resource student named Camille Hismatullin in the contest, which holds by Google. The main essence of this competition – the search for vulnerabilities and various errors in the products Google. This competition may be called, though a stretch, and hacking contest of ideas. For a company more profitable to carry out this kind of competition, during which thousands of people from around the world are all the “holes” in the products of Google, you hire professionals for testing.
Google praised the work of 22-year-old student of the Kazan relatively inexpensive – six thousand dollars. For the student amount, of course, huge. As he spoke, the ultimate goal for him was not the money. He wanted to remove from the network channel he hated Justin Bieber. But – restrained!
Camille realized that using a special code from YouTube can be removed completely any video without having to register the resource.
In addition, he said that in Google’s headquarters at the time of sending a report on vulnerability found was very early in the morning. Nevertheless, the answer came immediately. Apparently, working there for days!
Once Google employees remove the detected vulnerabilities, the company sent Kazan student award.

Only then it occurred to him to learn the rules of the contest, in which he found the maximum number – 6000 dollars. It is so much to him and sent to the discovery of a “hole»!
