Best Tools For Bug Bounty.
Bug Bounty is a program maintained by several companies that pay cybersecurity researchers for flaws found in their applications. These failures reported by the researchers are evaluated according to the level of criticality for the business, and then a financial reward is paid to the researcher.
In other words, it’s like having a team of “good hackers” working directly on the security evolution of the solutions that companies create.
Entering this Bug Bounty universe requires a lot of curiosity and fundamental knowledge in hacking and cybersecurity techniques. This knowledge can be obtained through research and reading of free content on the internet, or through complete professional training such as Hackzone.
We have selected the top 10 and best tools to use in the practice of Bug Bounty.
