Complete Methodology for Ethical Hacking, Pentesting & Bug Bounties with Live Attacks
Ethical hacking, penetration testing, and bug bounty are all related to the identification and remediation of vulnerabilities in computer systems, networks, and applications. Here is a brief overview of each:
Ethical hacking: Ethical hacking is the process of identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in a system or network, with the goal of identifying weaknesses before malicious attackers can do so. Ethical hackers use the same techniques and tools as malicious hackers but with the permission of the organization they are testing.
Penetration testing: Penetration testing is a subset of ethical hacking that involves a simulated attack on a system or network to identify and exploit vulnerabilities. Penetration testers attempt to gain access to sensitive data or systems to determine the effectiveness of existing security controls.
Bug bounty: Bug bounty is a program run by companies or organizations to encourage security researchers to find and report security vulnerabilities in their systems or applications. Researchers are rewarded for their findings, and the vulnerabilities are fixed to improve overall security.
To pursue a career in ethical hacking, penetration testing, or bug bounty, you should have a strong foundation in computer science, programming, networking, and information security. You can gain this knowledge through formal education or self-study, and it is recommended to obtain industry certifications such as the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) or Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP).
You can also look for opportunities to gain hands-on experience through internships, apprenticeships, or by participating in online capture-the-flag competitions. Once you have the necessary skills and experience, you can start looking for job opportunities in cybersecurity firms, consulting firms, or in-house security teams. Alternatively, you can work as a freelance ethical hacker, penetration tester, or bug bounty hunter.
Description: This is Recon for Ethical Hacking, Pentesting, and Bug Bounty.
Beginning with the Fundamentals of Recon and Bug Bounty Hunting, this course moves on to Advanced Exploitation.
The fundamentals of Web and Web Server Works and their application to everyday life are the foundations of this course. To strengthen our foundation, we will also learn about DNS, URL vs. URN vs. URI, and Recon for Bug Bounties. Next, we will move on to Target Expansion, Content Discovery, Fuzzing CMS Identification, Certificate Transparency, Visual Recon, Github Recon, Custom Wordlists, Mind Maps, Bug Bounty Automation, and Bug Bounty Platforms with hands-on examples.
To better comprehend what takes place beneath the hood, this course covers all of the tools and techniques for penetration testing as well as bug bounty techniques.
The course additionally remembers for profundity approach towards any objective and builds the degree for mass hunting and achievement.
Target Selection Techniques for Host, Subnet Scans and Host Discovery, Content Discovery, Subdomain Enumeration Horizontal & Vertical, CMS Identification, and Fuzzing the Target for Finding Web Vulnerabilities Like XSS, Open Redirect, SSRF, Sql Injection, etc. will be covered in this course. How to take screenshots of a large number of hosts and broaden the scope for improved visualization. Additionally, we will learn how to use Shodan for Bug Bounties to discover targets' critical vulnerabilities. Github Recon will also be used to locate API keys and other sensitive information for targets. Next, we'll learn how to automate everyday tasks and use tools more efficiently, as well as how to write Bug Bounty and pentesting reports. In order to provide a more effective strategy against any target, we will also examine mind maps created by us and those created by other hackers. We will likewise see Bug Abundance Stages and how to launch our excursion on them.
The course content is broken down in more detail as follows:
We will begin each section with the fundamental idea of how the scan works and how we can exploit it.
In the introduction, we'll talk about what the web is, what web servers are, and DNS. We'll also learn how DNS works and why it matters to our day-to-day lives. In order to gain a deeper comprehension, we will also observe the distinctions between URL, URN, and URI. Additionally, we will gain an understanding of bounty hunting and the significance of recon in pentesting and bounty hunting.
Before we begin the journey, we will learn about the top ten rules for bug bounty hunting and the hacker psychology.
In Shodan for Bug-Bounties we will begin with the establishment of Shodan and we will find out about Shodan Questions, for example, Data, Count downloads and a lot more and will run them from our order line. We will likewise learn Host Identification, Parse dataset, Search Questions, Sweep orders utilizing Shodan. The section cannot be completed without learning about the very straightforward and easy-to-understand Shodan GUI. Shodan images, exploits, the production of reports, and a lot more will also be on display.
In the end, we'll see a summary of the section and a revision to keep in mind the most important questions and key points.
We will experience live hunting with Shodan, learn about the most recent CVEs, and carry out exploits. Under Shodan LIVE Hunting, we will see Jenkins Exploitation Logs, Jenkins Exploitation Credentials, and ADB.
We will learn about crt[dot]sh, wildcards of crt[dot]sh, and automation for crt[dot]sh to enumerate subdomains for a target in Certificate Transparency for Subdomain Enumeration. We will also learn about Google and Facebook Certificate Transparency, Shodan, and Censys for Subdomain Enumeration. We will also learn how to use DNS Dumpster to find subdomains, list all DNS records, and save hosts in xlsx format. We will also see how dnsdumpster uses DNS records like A, CNAME, MX, and TXT to learn everything about the target server.
Scope Expansion will teach us about VirusTotal, Pentest tools, and ASN Lookup. Additionally, we will gain knowledge of a number of fantastic tools, including Sublister, Subfinder, knockpy, Asset Finder, Amass, Findomain, Sublert, and Project Discovery Nmmapper.
In DNS Enumeration for Bug-Bounties, we will learn about DNS Dumpster, DNS Goodies, Altdns, Massdns, Vertical & Horizontal Correlation (Viewdns.info) and enumerate the subdomains from the recursive DNS. We will also understand how to use them effectively for expanding the scope to walk on a less traveled road and achieve success in bug bounties.
To get a better understanding, we will begin with an overview of fuzzying, its significance, and a step-by-step procedure. We will then observe fuzzying in action on both live and simulated websites.
We will Learn, Comprehend and Utilize apparatuses like Wfuzz and FFUF and furthermore perceive how we can perform recursive fluffing on the objective. We will likewise perform HTTP Fundamental Auth Fluff to break the login of the dashboards and furthermore do Login Validation Breaking with the assistance of helpful wordlists.
We will make use of some of the wordlists, such as Seclists, FuzzDB, and Jhaddix All.txt, and we will also investigate how to create our own individualized wordlists for the targets.
Tools like Dirsearch and Gobuster are included in Content Discovery. These tools can be used to find sensitive target endpoints like db.conf or env files, which may contain the DB username and password. Additionally, sensitive data, such as source code or regular backups, can be identified, which could compromise the server as a whole.
In CMS ID we will learn and comprehend about Wappalyzer, Builtwith, Netcraft, Whatweb, Retire.js
As Flag Snatching and recognizing data about the objective is the chief step, we will distinguish the fundamental innovations which will empower us to limit the methodology which will prompt achievement.
In WAF ID we will see WAF Location with Nmap, WAF Fingerprinting with Nmap, WafW00f versus Nmap.
We will send our payloads to the targets and throttle our requests if there are any firewalls running on the target, allowing us to successfully evade them.
The strategy and procedure for approaching the target for pentesting and bug bounty will be discussed in the Mindmaps for Recon and Bug-Bounty section. A strong and clear visual representation of the building blocks will help you perform the attack process more clearly and understand the next steps.
The Bug-Abundance Stages segment contains a Guide of How to begin your Bug-Abundance Excursion on various Stages like Hackerone, Bugcrowd, Respectability, Synack, It likewise covers how to Report Private RVDP Projects.
You get support around the clock with this course, so if you have any questions, you can ask them in the Q&A section and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
Notes:
All of the websites I have attacked have been ethically reported and fixed as part of this course, which was created solely for educational purposes.
Testing a website without a Responsible Disclosure Policy is unethical and against the law, and the author bears no responsibility for the results.
