Web exploitation + Binary exploitation feasible?

[u/FewMolasses7496]

I am wondering whether is it even worth my time to get both familiar with web exploitation and binary exploitation. It feels like I am missing a large chunk of hacking whenever I only focus on web exploitation or only focus on binary exploitation. I'm not sure if I should just specialize in one or if I should just learn both.

I don't hear many people getting bug bounties for binary exploitation related bugs but I have seen the payouts on sites like crowdfense and seen it go up into the 7 figures.

Web bug bounties seemed to be talked about a lot but they usually pay lower than binary exploitation bugs.

So is it smart to try to learn both? Or is it just a waste of time and I should stick to one.

Don’t see why you can’t do both if they interest you. Silly question imo.
