Advanced bug hunting techniques: manual exploitation, recon automation, Burp Suite integration, API/mobile testing for $20k+ bounties.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Advanced Bug Hunting Techniques **Level up from automated scanner → manual penetration tester** Automation (skill: bug-hunting) only detects LOW/MEDIUM bugs ($50-1k). For HIGH/CRITICAL ($10k-30k), you need **manual exploitation skills**. ## When to Use - After automated scan finds potential bugs - Need to prove exploitability (scanner said "maybe", you prove "yes!") - Target requires authentication bypass - API/GraphQL endpoints discovered - Mobile app testing - Want $20k+ bounties (not just $200) ## The Gap Between Scanner & Pro Hunter **Scanner User ($500/month):** - Run automated tools - Report "missing header" bugs - Get Low/Medium bounties - 90% of findings rejected **Pro Hunter ($10k+/month):** - Manual recon (subdomains, JS files, endpoints) - Prove exploitability with PoC - Chain bugs (CSRF + IDOR = Account Takeover) - Business logic bugs (no scanner detects these) - Get Critical/High bounties **This skill bridges that gap!** --- ## Part 1: Reconnaissance (Find Hidden Attack Surface) ### Subdomain Enumeration **Why:** Main domain has WAF/security. Subdomains often weaker (dev.target.com, staging.target.com). **Tools:** ```bash # subfinder (passive DNS) …

How to install
mdr add novaestellar/novahaku/advanced-bug-hunting@sha256:9a3fe4cbff9b47cbThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
