Brazilian Bug Hunter Shares Experiences and Methods in Bug Bounty and Penetration Testing
In this video, a Brazilian bug hunter shares his experiences and work methods in the field of bug bounty hunting and penetration testing. He discusses his journey, his favorite tools, and his strategies for detecting vulnerabilities. The bug hunter explains how he uses automation for reconnaissance and information gathering, while performing manual tests to exploit vulnerabilities. One of the key points of the discussion is the use of automation to monitor updates in bug bounty programs. The bug hunter has developed a script that compares the scopes of programs with his MySQL database to detect new potential targets. He also uses tools like Waymore and GAP for reconnaissance and wordlist generation. For fuzzing, he prefers tools like XH and XSQLmap, and he uses Burp Suite extensions like Reflector and Flow to facilitate his testing process. The bug hunter emphasizes the importance of patience and perseverance in bug hunting. He mentions that fuzzing can take several days, but it can lead to the discovery of significant vulnerabilities. He also highlights the importance of teamwork, especially during live hacking events, where he collaborates with other Brazilian hackers to maximize their chances of success. Another interesting aspect of the video is the discussion on the tools and extensions used. The bug hunter uses a variety of Burp Suite extensions for different tasks, such as automating requests and detecting XSS. He also mentions the use of TamperMonkey scripts to modify applications in real-time, although he now prefers to use Chrome's developer tools for this task. The bug hunter also shares his experiences with live hacking events, emphasizing that these events are competitive but also offer opportunities for collaboration. He mentions that working in a team has allowed him to discover important vulnerabilities and win substantial rewards. Finally, the bug hunter talks about his future projects, including improving his reconnaissance automation and building his house, partly funded by his bug bounty earnings. He expresses his gratitude for the opportunity to share his experiences and knowledge with the community.
