Today, we will explore this topic and understand  why it matters, and how you can perform it.    Further reads mentioned in the video:  https://thehackerish.com/cross-site-scripting-xss-explained/  https://portswigger.net/web-security/cross-site-scripting/dom-based  https://labs.detectify.com/2016/12/15/postmessage-xss-on-a-million-sites/  https://medium.com/@alex.birsan/the-bug-that-exposed-your-paypal-password-539fc2896da9    Download your FREE Web hacking LAB:  https://thehackerish.com/owasp-top-10-lab-vm-free  Read more on the blog: https://thehackerish.com  Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/thehackerish  Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thehackerish

Hello ethical hackers and bug bounty hunters! I’ve recently conducted  a successful penetration testing against a web application built using  Google Web Toolkit, and I want to share with you the process I followed  and the bugs I found.

I will briefly explain what Google Web Toolkit is and what research  has already been made around it. Then, I will explain why and how I  built a Burp extension to help me during the penetration testing  process. Finally, I will share with you some vulnerabilities I found,  especially a cool one which required further effort. So stay with me as  we smash this web application into pieces!

Hello ethical hackers and welcome to the world of hacking and bug bounty hunting. Today, I will share the tools I use to gather open source intelligence and perform subdomain enumeration. Every craftsman has its toolbox and a bounty hunter is no different. However, it’s easy to get lost in the growing number of bug bounty tools which get published by the community everyday. That’s why one of the goals of this article is to provide you with the minimal tools which provide the maximum returns.

Hello dear ethical hackers and welcome to this new article about bug bounty hunting.

If it’s the case,  then congratulations! Now it’s time to report that bug right? Well, I  have been working as a triage Analyst for more than a year, and trust me  when I tell you that only few hunters master the art of writing good  bug bounty reports. If you don’t give enough care and love when writing,  be aware that it is a mandatory soft skill which brings you higher  bounties.

Hello ethical hackers, today we explore what causes burnout and suggest ways to heal  from it and preserve your mental health while still doing what you’re  passionate about: Hacking! As a side note, although burnout and  depression share some symptoms, they are different. If you suffer from  depression, you should visit a mental health professional. These  suggestions reflect what worked with my own burnout experience. They are  not based on scientific facts and don’t replace your doctor’s intervention.

Imagine a world where companies come to you and ask you to hack them. In return, they will pay you whenever you find a unique vulnerability. And the best part, you don’t have to leave your home!

In this episode, we will explore the history of the bug bounty career, understand its ecosystem, analyze its benefits and talk about some of its drawbacks.
