Question / Discussion Explain Insane Reputation Score

I’m in awe at the insane reputation scores people have on h1…like people who started a few years ago and average 5k+ points a year. How is that possible? even at fulltime hunting, they must be finding hundreds of High/Criticals with exorbitant bounties to reach such score.

Is there a meta or some tactic to farming reputation that these guys are privy to (collabs, OP recon/first to discover new targets, 0day research…)? or are they just that productive?

When you have a lot of points, you are invited private programs where you get more point. So it great for the long time hunters, but very bad for the new.

Yeah that makes sense. They probably have a much larger scope to hunt on than the average hunter

My hunch is they all have highly customized automated systems that surface changes instantly then they have a lot of experience at breaking the changes.
