Overview of this book

Bug bounties have quickly become a critical part of the security economy. This book shows you how technical professionals with an interest in security can begin productively—and profitably—participating in bug bounty programs. You will learn about SQli, NoSQLi, XSS, XXE, and other forms of code injection. You’ll see how to create CSRF PoC HTML snippets, how to discover hidden content (and what to do with it once it’s found), and how to create the tools for automated pentesting work?ows. Then, you’ll format all of this information within the context of a bug report that will have the greatest chance of earning you cash. With detailed walkthroughs that cover discovering, testing, and reporting vulnerabilities, this book is ideal for aspiring security professionals. You should come away from this work with the skills you need to not only find the bugs you're looking for, but also the best bug bounty programs to participate in, and how to grow your skills moving forward in freelance security research.

  3. Google Dorks are search queries designed to expose potentially vulnerable sites. The term comes from the hapless employee who mistakenly allows a sensitive document to be indexed by a public search engine.
  4. --timeout, checks, --scope-include-subdomains, --http-request-concurrency MAX_CONCURRENCY, and --plugin 'PLUGIN:OPTION=VALUE,OPTION2=VALUE2' are all useful configuration flags for the arachni CLI.
  5. You can generate reports from .afr files using the arachni_reporter CLI:
      arachni_reporter some_report.afr --reporter=html:outfile=my_report.html.zip

  1. The $where clause in MongoDB is particularly vulnerable to injection.
