Essential Bug Bounty Tools & Commands

To replicate Jason’s success, leverage these tools and commands:

1. Reconnaissance

• Subdomain Enumeration

  amass enum -d example.com -active -o subdomains.txt 
  subfinder -d example.com -o subdomains_list.txt 
  

• Port Scanning (Nmap)

  nmap -sV -T4 -p- -A target.com -oN scan_results.txt 
  

2. Vulnerability Scanning

• Nuclei (Automated Scanning)

  nuclei -u https://target.com -t ~/nuclei-templates/ -o vuln_report.txt 
  

• Burp Suite (Manual Testing)

  java -jar burpsuite_pro.jar --use-defaults --config-file=project_config.json 
  

3. Exploitation

• SQLi Testing (SQLmap)

  sqlmap -u "https://target.com/search?id=1" --batch --dump-all 
  

• XSS Payloads

  <script>alert(document.domain)</script> 
  

4. Automation

• Bash Script for Continuous Monitoring

  !/bin/bash 
  while true; do 
  subfinder -d target.com | httpx -silent | nuclei -t templates/ 
  sleep 3600 
  done
