Brutecat's "$500,000 Google bug with AI" write-up sent us down a rabbit hole.
My team ended up building an internal tool to help with research, target analysis, and finding things that are easy to miss when you're staring at the same target for hours.
Not public (yet). Join team.
Auth bugs pay the most in bug bounty. Most hunters never touch them, because they never actually understood how auth works.
In this video, I break down web auth the way the developer who built it sees it. Sessions, JWTs, OAuth 2.0, the Authorisation Code Flow, PKCE, and OpenID Connect. Why each protection exists, what it defends, and the exact bug that shows up when it's missing.
Auth For Hackers youtu.be/csKveMxn8rA#BugBounty#WebSecurity#EthicalHacking#AmrSec#OAuth#JWT#OIDC
jwt .io shows you the token. it won't tell you how to break it.
so i built jwtforge.
it audits JWTs for vulns (alg:none, algorithm confusion, kid/jwk injection) and forges working attack tokens with curl/burp/nuclei/jwt_tool ready to run.
all in your browser. nothing leaves your tab.

I'm 18, and over the last 3 months I made around $90k in bug bounties, about 1.5 hours a day
I'm not posting this to flex, I'm posting it because of everything behind those numbers that nobody really talks about👇
Got rewarded almost 8,000$ like below
Was able to remove every user being lowest permission user - 2000$
2 IDOR and Admin bypass at self host - 3000$
Multiple BAC issue - 1500$
2500$ - 3 XSS using @xss0r - so it was get based and POST based which was chained with XSS.
1️⃣ 60 Remote Code Execution in 60 minutes
@TheLaluka walks through 60 different ways to obtain unauthenticated RCE on targets, complete with full chains and references to learn more about each vulnerability. The talk is in French but the slides are in English and packed with technical detail (and great memes) 😎

We just dove into our shelf of archived bug bounty write-ups from the most notable hackers! 🤠
In this issue, we selected 5 compelling articles (that are still relevant today) to share with you, from which you can learn something new! 😎
🧵 👇
Next.js applications often expose _buildManifest.js, which can reveal routes and associated JavaScript assets.
This parser makes it easy to extract that information and quickly expand the attack surface during reconnaissance.

Not everyone who reports to Google Cloud VRP does a writeup, but critical bugs still show up in CVEs and release notes
Made a tool that aggregates both so you can see the types of bugs getting found in GCP
