🔍 Bug Bounty: Why Reconnaissance Is Everything

Bug bounty is not just about finding obvious vulnerabilities—it's about seeing what others miss. And that starts with one thing: reconnaissance.

🧠 Think Like a Researcher

Before you even touch a parameter or try a payload, map the landscape. You can’t break into what you haven’t discovered.

• Subdomain enumeration with tools like Get-CertSubdomains
• Technology fingerprinting using WhatWeb or custom PowerShell scripts
• Passive scanning to avoid detection while gathering intel

🛠️ Tools in My Toolkit

At PowerHack Security, I use and build my own tools to optimize recon:

• PowerFuzz – a multithreaded PowerShell fuzzing engine
• Invoke-Fuzz – fast directory brute-forcing
• Resolve-ValidSubdomains – DNS filtering at scale

All open-source. All scriptable.

🎯 Stay Quiet, Stay Ahead

The less noise you make, the more ground you can cover before anyone notices. Recon isn’t just step one—it’s half the battle.

“The best attack is the one they never see coming.”
