Summary

Bug bounty hunting is challenging due to the competition from experienced hackers and the vastness of targets. To improve success, focus on real-world hunting rather than tutorials, pick dynamic targets with complex functionality, stick to a target for an extended period, engage with the cybersecurity community, and develop persistence, patience, and attention to detail. Automated tools can be helpful but should not replace manual testing and understanding of web applications.
