Top 50 Bug Bounty Super Tricks Every Bug Hunter Should Know – Powered by CyberDudeBivash

Introduction

Bug bounty hunting has become one of the most lucrative and impactful areas in cybersecurity. With platforms like HackerOne, Bugcrowd, Intigriti, and Synack offering rewards for vulnerabilities, ethical hackers worldwide are turning their skills into serious income streams.

But in the competitive world of bug bounty hunting, knowledge is the true currency. Those who master advanced tricks, hidden techniques, and automation strategies consistently outperform others.

At CyberDudeBivash, we’ve built a Bug Bounty 2.0 framework powered by AI + human expertise — and in this ultimate guide, we’re sharing 50 super tricks that every bug hunter should know.


 The 50 Bug Bounty Super Tricks

 Reconnaissance Tricks (1–10)

  1. Use Amass + Shodan + AI scrapers for exhaustive subdomain discovery.
  2. Leverage wayback URLs to find hidden endpoints.
  3. OSINT APIs for email harvesting → goldmine for account takeover.
  4. Favicon hash lookups → detect shared infrastructure.
  5. Shodan dorks for misconfigured cloud services.
  6. Use crt.sh for SSL cert history.
  7. SpiderFoot automation for OSINT mapping.
  8. AI-driven recon (CyberDudeBivash ReconBot).
  9. Social media OSINT for leaked API keys.
  10. Correlating DNS + ASN ownership to map attack surface.

 Web App Tricks (11–20)

  1. Parameter mining with ParamSpider + Burp Intruder AI.
  2. Chaining low-severity bugs (e.g., Open Redirect + JWT leak).
  3. Using GraphQL introspection to dump schemas.
  4. Automating SSRF detection with crafted payloads.
  5. WAF bypasses using encoding tricks.
  6. Subdomain takeover detection with Nuclei templates.
  7. Hidden HTTP methods (e.g., PUTPATCH) exploitation.
  8. Exploiting misconfigured CORS headers.
  9. Bypassing 2FA using race conditions.
  10. Exploiting forgot password logic flaws.

 API & Mobile Tricks (21–30)

  1. JWT tampering (none alg, weak secrets).
  2. IDOR hunting in API endpoints.
  3. Automating API fuzzing with Postman + AI payloads.
  4. Exploiting rate limits → account takeover.
  5. Reverse-engineering mobile APKs for API endpoints.
  6. Exploiting misconfigured Firebase DBs.
  7. Debug endpoints in mobile apps (Burp Suite proxy).
  8. Finding API keys in JavaScript files.
  9. Leveraging GraphQL batching attacks.
  10. Broken object property manipulation.

 Cloud & Infrastructure Tricks (31–40)

  1. Exploiting S3 bucket misconfigurations.
  2. IAM privilege escalation on AWS.
  3. Azure AD misconfigured roles → persistence.
  4. GCP misconfigurations with open storage buckets.
  5. SSRF → cloud metadata → credentials.
  6. Serverless function injection (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions).
  7. Exploiting Kubernetes misconfigured dashboards.
  8. Lateral movement with compromised API keys.
  9. Infrastructure OSINT with Censys/ZoomEye.
  10. Misconfigured DNS TXT records → data leaks.

 AI & Advanced Tricks (41–50)

  1. Prompt Injection Attacks on LLM-powered apps.
  2. AI data poisoning → manipulate ML model behavior.
  3. Jailbreaking chatbots for sensitive data extraction.
  4. Exploiting insecure AI API integrations.
  5. Adversarial ML → crafting inputs to evade detection.
  6. Deepfake-driven phishing for bug bounty scope.
  7. Exploiting AI-powered security tools (Red AI vs Blue AI).
  8. AI-assisted fuzzing for new CVE classes.
  9. Automated AI bug triage (reducing duplicates).
  10. CyberDudeBivash PhishRadar AI for phishing & credential abuse detection.
