(CNN Business)Growing up in Hong Kong, Jane Manchun Wong remembers her father taking away her internet access after she circumvented his parental controls on Internet Explorer.

“When my dad [installed] parental controls, I would find ways to break it to prove the point, ‘Hey it is breakable,'” Wong told CNN Business.
Now, the 24-year-old spends her free time reverse engineering popular apps such as Facebook (FB), Instagram, Twitter (TWTR), Airbnb and Pinterest to discover unreleased features and security vulnerabilities. She searches for new features hidden in the code of apps.
