In a recent post, Vivek Kashyap shared his success story of earning $3,500 through a Bugcrowd submission, collaborating with his brother Vishal Kumar. His key tip for bug bounty hunters is to continuously monitor newly added assets of your targets, whether weekly or monthly. This strategy can help uncover vulnerabilities that others might miss.
You Should Know:
Here are some practical commands and tools to help you in your bug bounty journey:
1. Subdomain Enumeration:
- Use tools like `amass` and `sublist3r` to find subdomains:
amass enum -d example.com sublister -d example.com
2. Port Scanning:
- Use `nmap` to scan for open ports:
nmap -sV -p- example.com
3. Directory Bruteforcing:
- Use `gobuster` to find hidden directories:
gobuster dir -u https://example.com -w /path/to/wordlist.txt
4. Vulnerability Scanning:
- Use `nikto` to scan for common vulnerabilities:
nikto -h example.com
5. Automated Recon:
- Use `recon-ng` for comprehensive reconnaissance:
recon-ng -m recon/domains-hosts/bing_domain_web
6. Web Application Testing:
- Use `sqlmap` for SQL injection testing:
sqlmap -u "https://example.com/page?id=1" --dbs
7. Network Sniffing:
- Use `tcpdump` to capture network traffic:
tcpdump -i eth0 -w capture.pcap
8. Exploitation:
- Use `metasploit` for exploiting known vulnerabilities:
msfconsole use exploit/windows/smb/ms17_010_eternalblue set RHOSTS 192.168.1.1 exploit
What Undercode Say:
Bug bounty hunting requires persistence, continuous learning, and the right tools. Regularly updating your skills and staying informed about new vulnerabilities can significantly increase your chances of success. Tools like nmap, gobuster, and `sqlmap` are essential for any bug bounty hunter. Additionally, always ensure you have permission to test the targets and follow ethical guidelines.
