Researcher Resources - How to become a Bug Bounty Hunter
It’s very exciting that you’ve decided to become a security researcher and pick up some new skills. We’ve collected several resources below that will help you get started. Read on for our walkthrough.
Step 1) Start reading!
There are some go-to books that you can buy to help you learn the basics and essentials of penetration testing and bug hunting. Since bug bounties often include website targets, we’ll focus on getting you started with Web Hacking and later we’ll branch out.
It's very important to focus on an area of hacking that is interesting & exciting to you. Focus on that one area and pick up new things as you go, but don’t try to be the “ultimate hacker” and learn everything. The greatest hackers on Bugcrowd have specialities and areas of interest, but they don’t know how to hack everything.
Hacking is a lifelong journey of learning.
all the books were in the description below.....u can download it..!!!!!
Step 2) Practice what you’re learning!
While you’re learning it’s important to make sure that you’re also understanding and retaining what you learn. Practicing on vulnerable applications and systems is a great way to test your skills in simulated environments. These will give you an idea of what you’ll run up against in the real world.
Hacksplaining:
This is a great site to learn a bit more about various web hacking techniques and how they’re done. It’s actually more of a practical walk-through. Super useful!
Penetration Testing Practice Labs:
This site has a massive list of practice apps and systems for several hacking scenarios. Use this list to find new testing labs and sites to practice your skills.
Step 3) Read tech write-ups and POCs (Proof of Concepts) from other hackers and watch tutorials on YouTube!
Now that you’ve got a baseline understanding of how to find and exploit security vulnerabilities, it’s time to start checking out what other hackers are finding in the wild. Luckily the security community is quite generous with sharing knowledge and we’ve collected a list of write-ups & tutorials.
Step 4) Join the community!
You’re joining a global community of over 29,000 hackers. Luckily many of these hackers are happy to share their knowledge with a fellow polite & curious researcher.
Step 5) Start learning about bug bounties.
Okay, now you’re at the point where it’s almost time to start hunting for bounties. But first, let’s learn how bug bounties work and how to get started, just to make sure we maximize our chances of success.
How to approach a target
Advice from other bug hunters that will help you find more success when approaching a bug bounty.
How to write a Great Vulnerability Report
This will walk you through how to write a great vulnerability report. The better your report, the higher chance you will get a bounty!
Step 6) Get hacking!
It’s time to start hacking! When you’re new and getting started, it’s probably best not to try hacking the most popular bug bounties out there. Trying to hack Tesla Motors, Facebook, Pinterest and others will likely end in frustration for beginners, as those companies are very popular and are more secure because they receive many bug reports.
Step 7) Always Be Learning & Networking
Like we mentioned earlier, hacking is a lifelong journey of learning. This is what makes this field so exciting! There are always new articles and presentations to learn from, interesting people to meet at conferences or local meetups, and new opportunities to pursue.
Bug bounties are a fantastic way to enter the InfoSec community and build your career. Use bug bounties as a way to make extra money, improve your skills, meet new people, and even build out your resume.
Remember, always act professional and treat people well. This is a small community and we like to take care of each other - you never know who you might meet!
