SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Starting a bug bounty or VDP engagement involves juggling scope parsing, recon tooling, dozens of vulnerability categories, and report writing, and it is easy to miss steps or produce reports that get closed as Not Applicable. This Skill turns a program description into a structured, logged, end-to-end hunting workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Scope and Policy Parsing: Converts pasted program policy and scope text into structured docs/ABOUT.md and docs/SCOPE.md files with severity and bounty tables. - Phased Recon and Hunting: Runs subdomain enumeration, live host checks, tech fingerprinting, and content discovery, then works through injection, XSS, auth, IDOR, CSRF, race conditions, and business logic categories. - Finding Documentation: Logs every action in HUNT.md and writes per-vulnerability reports with a ready-to-submit HackerOne format, including demonstrated-impact guidelines. - Use Case: Paste a HackerOne program's policy and scope, and the Skill sets up the workspace, enumerates subdomains with subfinder/httpx/nuclei, tests each live host across vulnerability classes, and produces submission-ready reports for confirmed findings. ## Quick Start Start a bug bounty hunt for this program using the pasted scope and policy, and document all findings in HUNT.md and the vuln folder.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start a bug bounty hunt from a program scope?

Paste the program's policy and scope text, and the Skill parses it into docs/ABOUT.md and docs/SCOPE.md before any testing begins. It then runs recon, hunts vulnerabilities per category, and logs everything in HUNT.md.

What tools does bug bounty recon automation use?

The workflow prefers Hexstrike MCP when available, otherwise falls back to CLI tools like subfinder, httpx, nuclei, nmap, ffuf, waybackurls, gau, and katana. If neither is available, it uses passive WebFetch and WebSearch fingerprinting only.

How do I write a HackerOne report that demonstrates impact?

Each impact bullet must trace to captured evidence in the Steps to Reproduce, following the pattern: as an attacker I could perform an action, resulting in harm, demonstrated by captured proof. Speculative impact without evidence is the main cause of Not Applicable closures.

Does this workflow handle out-of-scope rules and safeguards?

Yes, it checks every host against the in-scope and out-of-scope lists before testing, skips methods the program excludes such as DoS, and stops immediately if PII is encountered. Third-party services and SSO providers not owned by the program are never tested.

What vulnerability categories does bug bounty hunting cover?

It covers injection, XSS, authentication flaws, IDOR and authorization issues, CSRF, race conditions, session management, cryptography weaknesses, information disclosure, and business logic errors. Categories excluded by program rules are skipped.
