Security testing works best when there is trust. Organizations need confidence that testing will not disrupt real users. Researchers need the freedom to explore without triggering alarms or creating confusion.

Com Olho's Alias Emails are designed to make that balance easier. They give every researcher a dedicated email address for testing. This address is safe, inbound only, and tied directly to your profile. When you use it, security teams can instantly separate testing traffic from production activity, making your work clearer and more impactful.

This is not just a feature. It is a foundation for safer collaboration between researchers and organizations.

What is an Alias Email?

An Alias Email is a dedicated email address that only receives messages. It is linked to your researcher profile and forwards every message to your main inbox.

When you use this address during bug bounty programs or coordinated vulnerability disclosure testing, organizations know that traffic is part of your research. This eliminates confusion, reduces noise in logs, and speeds up response times.

Why We Built Alias Emails

We designed this feature to solve three common challenges in security testing:

  • Clarity for security teams: When test traffic is clearly identified, engineers can respond quickly without worrying about false positives.

  • Boundaries that empower: Aliases can only receive messages, preventing risk while giving you the access you need to test effectively.

  • Accountability at scale: Every alias is confirmed and tied to your verified profile, making collaboration safer for everyone involved.

How to Get Started

  1. Request your alias: You can request an Alias Email directly from your dashboard. It only takes a moment.

  2. Use it for grey box testing: Keep your testing activity separate from real user traffic and help security teams review findings faster.

  3. Respect program rules: Alias access is a privilege. Stay within scope to build trust and unlock more opportunities.

Tips to Maximize Value

  • Treat your alias like a secure testing key. Use it only for its intended purpose.

  • Document workflows and observations thoroughly. Clear write-ups get faster responses.

  • Share suggestions with us. We actively improve features based on researcher and company feedback.

Building Safer Collaboration

Security research is a partnership. Alias Emails are our way of making that partnership smoother for both sides. For researchers, they create a safer and more predictable testing environment. For organizations, they open the door to more impactful collaboration.

Every tool we add to Com Olho’s platform is designed to strengthen trust, reduce noise, and empower you to focus on meaningful security testing. Alias Emails are a step forward in making vulnerability discovery safer, faster, and more efficient.

Request your Alias Email today, use it with care, and help shape the future of ethical hacking.
