An exclusive community for bug bounty hunters, pentesters, and ethical hackers.
About
HackerHideout is an invite-only community where Europe's top
bug bounty hunters, pentesters, and ethical hackers meet in
person. One venue, one day, plus pizza and war stories when
the laptops close.
FAQ
Is HackerHideout invite-only?
Yes. Every edition is curated to a tight group of bug
bounty hunters, pentesters, and ethical hackers we know
personally — or that someone already in the room vouches
for. No public RSVP, no waiting list signup. We keep it
that way on purpose.
Is it a real-life event?
Always. We meet in person for a full day of focused
hacking — no livestream, no remote-only seat, no replay
link. The whole point is the room: people sitting next
to each other, payloads passed around, war stories over
pizza when the laptops finally close.
Who's actually in the room?
Active researchers from across Europe — Hall-of-Fame
bounty hunters, pentest leads, CTF veterans. We keep the
bar high so the conversations stay technical and the
bugs stay impactful. No silver bullets, no sales people,
no "thought leaders."
Can my company sponsor a Hideout?
Yes. Sponsors cover venue, food, drinks, and get face
time with hackers who actually find things — no booth,
no pitch deck, just real conversations. We're selective
about partners but always open to a chat. Pitch via
Contact.
Can I put my scope in front of the room?
Yes — if you run a bug bounty or pentest program and
want focused attention from top-tier researchers in a
single day, we set up exclusive scope partnerships.

Each edition packs a venue with Europe's top bug
bounty hunters, pentesters, and ethical hackers — invite-only,
no fluff, no sales pitches. Want the room? Want their
attention on your scope? Let's talk.
It's a wrap! The first real-life HackerHideout has concluded.
On Saturday, May 25th, over 15 top hackers from around Europe
gathered in the sunny, rainy, sunny, rainy, sunny city of
Utrecht, The Netherlands. In a quintessential Utrecht
Werfkelder, they hacked on a fresh scope, kindly provided by
our friends at
Intigriti.
It was a day full of hacking shenanigans, beers, and pizza.
The reports are still pending, but there are rumors of quite a
few impactful submissions. At the end of the official event,
most of the hackers weren't finished chatting about
vulnerabilities and sharing hacking stories, so they all
headed to the city center of Utrecht.
We are looking back at a great day!
From the community
It was so nice seeing you all there! 🙌 Hope to see you all soon
With HackerHideout we hosted 22 hackers from 9 different
nationalities in Utrecht for a day filled with bug bounty
hunting, knowledge sharing, and good vibes. All while hacking
on
Intigriti
programs.
This time around we set up shop at De Tuinkamer in Utrecht — a
quiet corner of town where laptops quickly outnumbered the
houseplants. Hackers traveled from all across Europe to share
the room, the scope, and (mostly) the snacks.
Thanks to Intigriti's continued sponsorship, HackerHideout
has grown into something we couldn't have imagined when we
started: 22 hackers from 9 different nationalities, all in one
room, hunting the same set of programs.
When the laptops finally closed, the group rolled into the
city center for pizza — debriefs over slices, payloads passed
around the table. A few hackers refused to call it a night
and kept the conversation (and the good vibes) going
into the small hours.
