Tell me about the most interesting bug or attack chain you've found.

Use STAR format. Best examples: (1) Bug bounty find with documented payout — credibility unmatched; (2) CTF challenge solved creatively (not just following walkthroughs); (3) Internal pen-test with unique attack chain — even from coursework. Avoid hypotheticals ('I would do X') and overly generic answers ('found XSS once'). Specific + technical + outcome-driven wins. Bonus: tie back to lessons learned — interviewers want to see how you process and grow from each engagement.
