Make sure that any code you produce is properly licensed.
Even though you may nail a bounty, someone else can still sell that off as a Metasploit pack to other military contractors, pentesters, etc.
Make sure that people aren't using your ass.

What's the worst that could happen...
You score a million dollar 0-day?
isn't top pay like 5k? I remember seeing a story by a guy who found a way to get root access inside a prominent tech company's internal network, got offered a paltry 5k, then followed by legal threats for trying (and succeeding) to hack in.
Sure. That's how that works. lol
Places have payed up toward 30k for high severity bugs. Many pay $250-$1000 for very trivial things that you could find in 15m of looking. However, there are plenty of times researchers have gotten the shitty end of the stick too. The idea is that it all balances out in the end, you win some and lose some.
This event is more of a training/learning exercise and less about the money, however people also stand to make a bit of cash in the process.
