N00b here - learning for bug bounties

Heyaa to all,


I'n kinda new in this field. Basically wat i would like to ask you, would be what is needed to know in order to start hunting for bug bounties?

I currently know basic stuff, such as minimal knowledge of how XSS works, minimal SQL Injections, and how to use BurpSuite, but to be honest, i feel like these things won't properly help me get the bounties, as they are too basic.


Can someone please mentor me in a journey to become a hacker?

Thanks and wish you Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays!

🙏🙏🙏
Yes we could do it together maybe
Here is a tutorial i put together

I've been doing this for many years and I've seen this question surface a lot in my time. You're going to get different answers from different people. My advice - read. Get used to reading, a lot. There are a huge number of write-ups online in the bug bounty space which can give you insights into how others approach their hunting. I literally spent most of my own learning journey just reading other people's HackerOne reports.

I've claimed I'm 'self-taught' for so many years, but the truth is nothing of my hacking capabilities is original. Most of my output is the combined effort of every write-up I've ever read.
