SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Build a structured target model for bug bounty programs to standardize reconnaissance scope and planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Target model schema: captures domain, endpoints, tech stack, and authentication details to guide reconnaissance and reporting.
  • Guided recon workflow: provides an ordered, time-bounded sequence of steps (fingerprinting, subdomain enumeration, port scanning, JS analysis, and source discovery) to accelerate findings.
  • Use Case: begin with a new program handle and domain to produce a ready-to-use target model for a focused, compliant attack flow.

Quick Start

Provide the program handle and target domain to generate a recon-ready target model.

Frequently Asked Questions about target-research

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure bug bounty recon for a new target domain?

A bug bounty target model captures domains, endpoints, tech stack, and authentication details in a standardized schema. It provides an ordered, time-bounded recon workflow including fingerprinting, subdomain enumeration, port scanning, and JS analysis to accelerate findings.

When do I need a target model for vulnerability hunting?

You need a target model for vulnerability hunting during initial recon across programs, domains, and assets. It standardizes scope and planning by recording attack surface details, hypotheses, and timestamps to guide compliant testing within defined timeframes.

How do I start building a target model for a bug bounty program?

To start building a target model, provide the bug bounty program handle and target domain. This generates a ready-to-use model with a guided recon sequence covering subdomain enumeration, port scanning, JS analysis, and source discovery.

Can I use a standardized target model for time-bounded reconnaissance?

Yes, you can use a standardized target model for time-bounded reconnaissance. It provides an ordered sequence of recon steps designed to accelerate findings while keeping your attack flow focused and compliant within allocated timeframes.

Does the target model schema support tracking authentication and attack surface details?

Yes, the target model schema supports tracking authentication and attack surface details. It standardizes records for domains, endpoints, tech stack, and authentication, while also logging last_updated timestamps and testing hypotheses.
