Web hacking and bug bounty hunting involve identifying vulnerabilities in web applications to enhance their security.
This field combines reconnaissance, vulnerability exploitation, and secure coding practices. Below is a detailed overview of tools and techniques commonly used in web hacking.
Reconnaissance is the first step in ethical hacking, where information about the target system is gathered. It can be active (direct interaction with the system) or passive (indirect data collection). Key techniques include:
Bug bounty hunters focus on exploiting vulnerabilities such as:
Bypass methods are used to overcome security mechanisms:
Cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes introduce unique attack surfaces. Tools such as Docker security scanners help detect container vulnerabilitie.
With continuous learning and practice, these tools and techniques can help ethical hackers secure web applications effectively while earning rewards through bug bounty programs.
