Bug Bounty Guide 101

Look Deeper,  You'll See ! 

1. Reconnaissance:

   - Subdomain Enumeration: Use tools like Sublist3r, Amass, or Subfinder to discover subdomains of "xyz.com." Also, check DNS records with tools like `dig` or `nslookup`.

   - Port Scanning: Use Nmap or masscan to identify open ports and services on these subdomains.

   - Service Enumeration: Identify the technologies used (e.g., web servers, application frameworks) with tools like Wappalyzer or BuiltWith.

   -  Network Mapping: Create a network map to understand the relationships between different subdomains and services.


2. Information Gathering:

   - Web Application Scanning: Use automated tools like Burp Suite or OWASP ZAP to scan for common vulnerabilities.

   - Directory and File Enumeration: Use tools like Dirbuster, Gobuster, or ffuf to find hidden directories and files.

   - SSL/TLS Analysis: Check for SSL/TLS issues using tools like SSL Labs' SSL Test or testssl.sh.


3. Vulnerability Analysis:

   - Input Validation: Test for common vulnerabilities like XSS, SQL Injection, and Command Injection by injecting payloads into form fields, URL parameters, and headers.

   - Authentication and Authorization: Check for flaws in login mechanisms, session management, and access controls (e.g., IDOR, insecure direct object references).

   - Business Logic Flaws: Look for logical errors in the application that could be exploited to gain unauthorized access or perform unintended actions.


4. Manual Testing:

   - Exploit Known Vulnerabilities: Try exploiting vulnerabilities found in automated scans with manual testing to confirm their existence.

   - Test Application Functionality: Verify the behavior of critical features to find potential vulnerabilities not covered by automated tools.


5. Reporting: 

   -  Document Findings:  Clearly document vulnerabilities found, including proof of concept, impact assessment, and suggested fixes.

   -  Submit Report: Follow the target’s bug bounty program guidelines for submitting vulnerabilities.
