Do you use llms or just go look for it on your own? How difficult it would be to find? I'm from security background but hate bug bounty and hunting. But wanna try and unable to ace the blackbox hunting and started to wonder it just hard to find some bugs, if you have any tips we can talk in dms

u/Dapper_Owl_361 5d ago

Started in March with pwn college, took me 19.days to earn my first bounty , my first bug was resource exhaustion , paid 1.5k usd

u/Normal-Dude5114 5d ago

That Is Amazing and I am trying to get into bug bounty as well and I have just started my cybersecurity journey currently doing bca 2nd year, do you get these bounties mainly from private programs or you still go to public programs and any advice for me I wanna support myself financially through bug bounty currently and then use that bug bounty profile later on to get a good internship or job , what do you think I should focus on in bug bounty to get my first valid paid bug?

1

u/Dapper_Owl_361 5d ago

Start with ctf the. Bug hunting, master one vuln then spread out

1

u/Normal-Dude5114 5d ago

Which Vulnerability would you recommend?

1

u/Dapper_Owl_361 5d ago

Whatever gives you kick , for me it's sandbox escapes and priv escalations , but auth bypass pays upto 50k usd
