You Should Know: Essential Bug Bounty Tools and Commands

To succeed in bug bounty hunting, you need the right tools and techniques. Below are verified commands and steps to help you get started:

1. Reconnaissance & Subdomain Enumeration

 Subfinder 
subfinder -d target.com -o subdomains.txt

Amass (Passive) 
amass enum -passive -d target.com -o amass_results.txt

Assetfinder 
assetfinder --subs-only target.com | tee assets.txt

2. Vulnerability Scanning with Nuclei

nuclei -l subdomains.txt -t ~/nuclei-templates/ -o nuclei_results.txt

3. XSS & SQLi Testing

 SQLmap for SQL Injection 
sqlmap -u "https://target.com/page?id=1" --batch --crawl=2

XSS Hunter for Blind XSS 
python3 xsstrike.py -u "https://target.com/search?q=test" --crawl

4. Exploiting API Vulnerabilities

 FFUF for API Fuzzing 
ffuf -w wordlist.txt -u https://target.com/api/FUZZ -mc 200

Postman for Manual API Testing

5. Privilege Escalation (Linux)

 LinPEAS for Linux PrivEsc 
curl -L https://github.com/carlospolop/PEASS-ng/releases/latest/download/linpeas.sh | sh

Windows (WinPEAS) 
.\winpeas.exe

6. Reporting & Hall of Fame Submission

  • Always document steps to reproduce.
  • Submit via HackerOne, Bugcrowd, or VDP.
  • Follow responsible disclosure policies.

What Undercode Say

Bug bounty hunting requires persistence, automation, and deep knowledge of web vulnerabilities. Tools like Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, and Metasploit can enhance your testing. Keep learning from platforms like:
– Hack The Box
– TryHackMe
– PortSwigger Web Security Academy

Prediction

With AI-powered bug hunting tools on the rise, expect automated vulnerability discovery to dominate in 2025. Researchers will rely more on machine learning fuzzers and AI-assisted code review.

Expected Output:

Vulnerability Report: 
- Target: Roboin 
- Bug Type: IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) 
- PoC: https://lnkd.in/gwvPV3-M 
- Impact: Unauthorized Data Access 
- Fix: Implement Proper Access Controls

Keep exploring, and happy hacking! 🚀
