You Should Know: Practical Bug Bounty Commands and Steps
1. Reconnaissance with Subfinder and Amass
Subdomain enumeration is crucial in bug hunting. Use these tools:
subfinder -d example.com -o subdomains.txt amass enum -d example.com -o amass_results.txt
2. HTTP Probing with httpx
Filter live subdomains:
cat subdomains.txt | httpx -silent -status-code -o live_urls.txt
3. Vulnerability Scanning with Nuclei
Run automated scans:
nuclei -l live_urls.txt -t ~/nuclei-templates/ -o vulnerabilities.txt
4. XSS Testing with XSS Hunter
Check for reflected XSS:
python3 xsstrike.py -u "https://example.com/search?q=<script>alert(1)</script>"
5. SQLi Detection with SQLmap
Test for SQL injection:
sqlmap -u "https://example.com/login?id=1" --dbs
6. Directory Bruteforcing with FFUF
Find hidden paths:
ffuf -w /path/to/wordlist.txt -u https://example.com/FUZZ
7. API Testing with Postman & Burp Suite
- Intercept API requests via Burp Suite.
- Test for IDOR, SSRF, and authentication flaws.
8. Automating with Bash Scripts
Example recon script:
!/bin/bash domain=$1 subfinder -d $domain -o subs.txt httpx -l subs.txt -o live.txt nuclei -l live.txt -t ~/nuclei-templates/ -o vulns.txt
What Undercode Say
Bug bounty hunting requires persistence and automation. Mastering tools like Amass, Nuclei, and `SQLmap` enhances efficiency. Always:
– Document findings for reports.
– Follow responsible disclosure policies.
– Stay updated with new CVEs and exploits.
Essential Linux Commands for Bug Hunters
