Tools

In the world of bug bounties, tools play a crucial role in helping to identify and demonstrate security vulnerabilities in applications and systems. The following is my arsenal of security tools that I use in bug bounty programs:

  • Maltego
  • Burp Suite
  • Nmap
  • SQLmap
  • WhatWeb
  • Shodan
  • Gitrob
  • Google Dorks
  • WPScan
  • SecLists
  • Dirsearch
  • Mobile Security Framework (MobSF)
  • Wireshark
  • Metasploit
  • Shellter
  • Aircrak-ng
  • Nc
  • Mimikatz
  • John the Ripper
  • Sslscan
  • NmapAutomator

Let’s take a closer look at each of them.

Maltego enables users to gather, analyze, and visualize data from various public sources to uncover connections and relationships between different entities.
