Bug Bounty Guide Part 2 - Broad Scope And Automation

The recordings for our bug bounty guide part 2 – broad scope and automation are done. Just a few more days until it comes out!

You Should Know:

1. Broad Scope Reconnaissance:

Use tools like Amass for in-depth DNS enumeration:
```
amass enum -d example.com -active
```

Subfinder for subdomain discovery:

subfinder -d example.com -o subdomains.txt

Assetfinder to find domains and subdomains:
```
assetfinder example.com > assets.txt
```

2. Automation with Bash and Python:

Automate subdomain enumeration with a simple Bash script:

#!/bin/bash
for domain in $(cat domains.txt); do
subfinder -d $domain -o $domain-subs.txt
done

Use Python to automate HTTP probing with httpx:

import os
domains = open("subdomains.txt").read().splitlines()
for domain in domains:
os.system(f"httpx -silent -status-code -title -tech-detect -o {domain}-probed.txt")

3. Vulnerability Scanning:

Use Nuclei for automated vulnerability scanning:

nuclei -l subdomains.txt -t cves/ -o vulnerabilities.txt

Gobuster for directory brute-forcing:

gobuster dir -u https://example.com -w /path/to/wordlist.txt -o gobuster-output.txt

4. Reporting:

Automate report generation with Markdown:

echo "# Bug Bounty Report" > report.md
echo " Subdomains" >> report.md
cat subdomains.txt >> report.md
echo " Vulnerabilities" >> report.md
cat vulnerabilities.txt >> report.md

What Undercode Say:

Bug bounty hunting requires a mix of manual and automated techniques. Tools like Amass, Subfinder, and Nuclei are essential for reconnaissance and vulnerability discovery. Automating repetitive tasks with Bash or Python scripts can save time and increase efficiency. Always document your findings in a clear and structured report for better communication with the target organization.
