This post from Bugcrowd introduces their "Bug Bounty Hunter Methodology" series, which will provide resources and information to help aspiring security researchers or bug bounty hunters get started. The company works with companies to create crowdsourced security tests through public and private bug bounty programs or responsible disclosure programs, rewarding researchers for finding valid security vulnerabilities. To start, it's recommended to focus on a specific area of hacking that interests you and learn from there, as mastering everything at once is not necessary. The first version of the methodology focuses on web application testing, which is a common target for bounties. Bugcrowd has identified two must-read resources: "The Web Application Hacker’s Handbook" and OWASP WebGoat, both of which are essential for learning web application hacking and penetration testing. Other recommended resources include tools such as Burp Suite, OWASP Zap, and Kali Linux, which can help make the hacking process easier.
