Summary
- A bug bounty is an offer to pay a reward to anyone who can find faults or bugs in a website or app and report them.
- It offers various advantages, including career choice and the chance to earn large financial awards for ethical hacking.
- It is extremely competitive, with only 10% of hunters earning the majority of bounties.
- To stand out from the competition, you need to develop a different mindset and approach.
- Elite hunters use automated tools but validate results manually and focus on high-impact, unique bugs.
- They select less-tested targets and platforms, create custom pipelines, and hunt consistently.
- They also write detailed reports and solve problems logically.
- 90% of hunters follow the crowd and hope for the best, which makes them less likely to earn bounties.
- Changing your approach, targeting, recon, and testing methodology can help you go from 90% to 10%.
