Hello Hackers 👨‍💻,

I hope you’re all doing well. Today, I want to share a quick tip that helped me land a $$$ digit bounty. This isn’t a full methodology breakdown, and I won’t reveal specific targets (since companies have their own bug bounty policies, patching timelines, and disclosure rules).

But I can give you a solid tip that you can start applying right away. 🚀

🔎 Start With Common Web Directories

Most hunters immediately jump to custom wordlists when doing directory fuzzing. That’s fine but in my experience, the default wordlist in dirb is a goldmine that many overlook.

👉 Why?
Because sometimes the simplest approach uncovers sensitive files, misconfigured error pages, or backend info that others miss while trying advanced lists.

So my advice:

• Run dirb with the default wordlist first.
• Explore the files and errors you discover.
• Then, move on to your custom wordlists for deeper hunting.

This basic step alone has helped me uncover issues that led to real $$$ digit bounties. 💵

⚡ Key Takeaway

Don’t underestimate the basics. Before diving into complex payloads and massive wordlists, start small. Sometimes the default settings reveal the biggest opportunities.

🙌 Final Note

This was just a small tip from my hunting journey. If you have any questions or want to discuss more, feel free to connect with me on my social accounts.

Thank You,
