Thomas Alex. Bug Bounty Playbook

Payhip.com, 2019. — 212 p.Do you like hacking ? Do you like security ? Do you want to make a living doing what you love? Do you want to find vulnerabilities and get paid to do so? If you answered YES to any of these questions then this book is for you. The sole purpose of this book is to teach you the skills needed to successfuly make a living hunting for vulnerabilities and bugs.
The book is divided up by the phases of the bug bounty hunting process. I go over everything like how I pick the best programs to hunt on, how I take notes, how I find targets, how I exploit targets and a lot more.
Every game has a playbook; the breakdown of actions (plays) you chose to follow to work through a process. Jumping in feet first without identifying the goal and knowing the play which will help you get there will lessen your chances of finding vulnerabilities, and ultimately minimize the potential to make a profit from your bug bounty hunting. The key to a successful hunt is to do some pre-game planning to ensure you are setting yourself up for success! Start by establishing your infrastructure, finding your knowledge base, identifying and securing the tools you will use, and creating a general game plan outlining how you will work through the process...this is your play. Once everything is mapped out you can execute the play and start finding vulnerabilities!
