Preface

This book is designed to give interested coders (part-time, professional, and otherwise) the skills they need to start participating in public bug bounty programs, covering both general pentesting subjects, such as scoping your testing sessions appropriately, and bounty-specific security topics, such as how to format your bug submission report to ensure the best chance of earning a reward.

As the need for security audits on the public web grows, crowdsourced solutions are becoming more popular. This book aims to give you everything you need to participate in those programs—walking you through important topics with a mix of theory and direct, hands-on examples.
