You Should Know:
Essential Bug Bounty Tools & Commands
1. Subdomain Enumeration
subfinder -d example.com -o subdomains.txt amass enum -d example.com -o amass_results.txt
2. Port Scanning with Nmap
nmap -sV -T4 -p- -A target.com -oN nmap_scan.txt
3. Directory Bruteforcing
ffuf -u https://target.com/FUZZ -w /path/to/wordlist.txt -o ffuf_results.json
4. XSS Testing with Payloads
<script>alert(1)</script> <img src=x onerror=alert(1)>
5. SQL Injection Detection
sqlmap -u "https://target.com/search?q=1" --batch --crawl=10
6. Automating Recon with Bash
!/bin/bash domain=$1 subfinder -d $domain -o subs.txt httpx -l subs.txt -o live_subs.txt nuclei -l live_subs.txt -t ~/nuclei-templates/ -o vulns.txt
7. API Testing with Postman & curl
curl -X GET "https://api.target.com/v1/users" -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN"
Pro Tips:
- Always check for misconfigured S3 buckets:
aws s3 ls s3://bucketname --no-sign-request
- Use Wayback Machine for hidden endpoints:
waybackurls target.com | grep ".php|.asp|.jsp"
- Exploit SSRF with internal IPs:
curl -v "http://target.com/fetch?url=http://169.254.169.254"
