Finding and reporting security bugs to companies for rewards.
Companies pay for valid, in-scope vulnerabilities.
HackerOne and Bugcrowd host many programs.
Only test assets the program allows.
Report privately and give time to fix.
Map the target’s domains and assets.
Find hidden subdomains to test.
XSS, IDOR, SSRF, and auth flaws.
Injecting scripts that run in others’ browsers.
Accessing data by changing IDs you shouldn’t.
Tricking a server into making requests for you.
Broken login and session handling.
Abusing how the app is supposed to work.
Burp Suite, recon scripts, and proxies.
Clear steps, impact, and proof of concept.
First valid report usually wins the bounty.
Higher impact earns bigger rewards.
Out-of-scope testing can be illegal.
Practice on labs and learn from disclosed reports.
Pick a program, read scope, and start with recon.
