I’ve noticed that most new folks who reach out for guidance in bug bounty feel overwhelmed early on trying to learn everything at once. That often leads to half-baked knowledge across multiple areas and slower overall progress. Here's what I recommend instead 👇 1/ Pick one vulnerability type and go all in. Master the ins and outs of that category - how it works, how it breaks, real-world examples, and ways to find it. Once you’ve got depth in one area, the rest will follow naturally. 2/ To put this into perspective, here’s a snapshot of the types of issues I’ve reported over the last 5 years - gradually expanding focus as I grew more confident: 2020: • Local cache issues • Rate limit issues on Login • Session invalidation • MFA bypass 2021: • Rate limit • MFA bypass • CSRF • IDOR • RBAC 2022: • CSRF • IDOR • RBAC • XSS • Business logic • Info disclosure 2023: • Everything from 2022 + • BBP automation • Cache deception • DoS Issues • Subdomain takeover • Auth bypass / misconfig • SQLi • SSRF • RCE 2024: • Everything from 2023 + • AI-related issues • Vhost misconfigurations 2025: • Everything from 2024 + • Many more new things that I will talk about soon :) 3/ There are more, of course, but this covers most of what’s worked well for me. The key takeaway: you don’t need to know everything. Play to your strengths. Stay consistent. And let your scope expand naturally. Hope this helps someone starting out 💪

I'm a hacker and AI researcher who has reported vulnerabilities to OpenAI, Google, and others. I wrote this guide as a reference of all of the ways that you can hack AI. It has saved me hours. Bookmark this if you need a reference for what all to try (AND includes mitigations).

Don’t go out of scope

Perks of being a Bug Bounty Hunter: Found a bug in GitHub, got it accepted, and now I have GitHub Pro for FREE… FOREVER.

welllllp, stay curious 🔥

One day, the technique for exploiting this vulnerability will be available. Not today, but one day. Working with other bug hunters makes a huge difference. Two minds bouncing ideas off each other leads to peak efficiency.

Google Dorks for Bug Bounty Input your target to generate Google Dork links for easy OSINT recon #bugbountytips taksec.github.io/google-dork…

My favorite Google dork flow: 1. Start w/ "site:<domain>" 2. Remove stuff "-www" 3. Keep reading and removing until you get to the fun stuff Example: site:tesla .com -www -shop -share -ir -mfa #bugbountytips #bugbounty #hacking #infosec #cybersecuritytips #recon #bugbountytip

Authentication Bypass via forgot password 18 days in triage is never a good sign though. #bugbounty

Today I found a promising CORS misconfiguration that should have leaked PII! Here’s a critical detail that’s often missed. For successful exploitation, the ‘SameSite’ attribute on the cookie must be set to ‘Lax’ or ‘None’. In this case it was set to ‘Strict’🛡️ #BugBounty #CORS

The team at @OpenAI just fixed a critical account takeover vulnerability I reported few hours ago affecting #ChatGPT. It was possible to takeover someone's account, view their chat history, and access their billing information without them ever realizing it. Breakdown below 👇

Authentication Bypass Via Response Manipulation After Registration, it said waiting for admin approval tried to sign in and capture the request I found in the response {"role": "blocked"} #bugbountytip #bugbounty #bugbountytips

My first paid bug on Bugcrowd was an Authentication Bypass. I will definitely push a write up after I’m done with my research! :)
