How I Made $9,000 in One Month from Bug Bounty

You Should Know:

Essential Bug Bounty Tools & Commands

To replicate such success, you need the right tools and methodologies. Below are some key tools and commands used in bug bounty hunting:

1. Reconnaissance & Subdomain Enumeration

Subfinder (Fast subdomain discovery):

subfinder -d example.com -o subdomains.txt

Amass (In-depth subdomain mapping):

amass enum -d example.com -o amass_results.txt

Assetfinder (Quick subdomain search):

assetfinder --subs-only example.com > assets.txt

2. Vulnerability Scanning

Nmap (Port scanning & service detection):

nmap -sV -T4 -p- -A example.com -oN nmap_scan.txt

Nikto (Web server vulnerability scanner):

nikto -h https://example.com -output nikto_scan.txt

Dirb/Dirbuster (Directory brute-forcing):

dirb https://example.com /usr/share/wordlists/dirb/common.txt -o dirb_scan.txt

3. Exploiting Common Web Vulnerabilities

SQL Injection Testing with SQLmap:

sqlmap -u "https://example.com/search?id=1" --dbs --batch

XSS Testing with XSS Hunter:

python3 xsstrike.py -u "https://example.com/search?q=<script>"

CSRF Exploitation with Burp Suite:
Intercept requests and modify parameters to test CSRF vulnerabilities.

4. Automation with Bash & Python

Automate repetitive tasks with scripts:

!/bin/bash 
for sub in $(cat subdomains.txt); do 
curl -s "http://$sub" | grep "vulnerable_pattern" 
done

What Undercode Say:

Bug bounty hunting requires persistence, deep technical knowledge, and automation. Mastering tools like Burp Suite, Nmap, SQLmap, and custom scripts is crucial. Always follow responsible disclosure and stay updated with new attack vectors.
