Bug Bounty
Bug bounty is not just about finding obvious vulnerabilities—it’s about seeing what others miss. And that starts with one thing: reconnaissance.
🧠 Think Like a Researcher
Before you even touch a parameter or try a payload, map the landscape. You can’t break into what you haven’t discovered.
- Subdomain enumeration with tools like
Get-CertSubdomains
- Technology fingerprinting using
WhatWeb
or custom PowerShell scripts - Passive scanning to avoid detection while gathering intel
🛠️ Tools in My Toolkit
At PowerHack Security, I use and build my own tools to optimize recon:
PowerFuzz
– a multithreaded PowerShell fuzzing engineInvoke-Fuzz
– fast directory brute-forcingResolve-ValidSubdomains
– DNS filtering at scale
All open-source. All scriptable.
🎯 Stay Quiet, Stay Ahead
The less noise you make, the more ground you can cover before anyone notices. Recon isn’t just step one—it’s half the battle.
“The best attack is the one they never see coming.”
