All right.
Before we begin doing our reconnaissance we have to establish a client to attack.
So for this course we're going to be utilizing a client out of bug crowd.
If you've never heard of bug crowd bug crowd is a public bug bounty program.
What that means is there are programs on the Web site that will allow you to attack them.
And if you find a bug against the program you're able to submit it and potentially get money for it.
So you are able to hack these programs publicly as they are part of this program.
Now the program we're going to be attacking is Tesla.
So Tesla is part of bug crowd.
Now please do note please double check when you're watching this course as some time may have passed.
Tesla might no longer be part of this bug bounty program.
So it's very critical to make sure that you are still within scope before you attack.
If for some reason Tesla is no longer in scope just go ahead and pick a new client and do information
gathering on them.
You don't have to pick Tesla when we're doing this.
You can just do it to follow along with me.
But you're also welcome pick any program you want.
So if you go to bug crowd dot com and we go to programs I will show you where Tesla exists.
Now you can see here that they have all different types of programs in here.
And if I were to scroll down and continuously I could find more and more and more there are hundreds
of programs involved all kinds of names digital ocean.
OK.
Really big names Pinterest.
I'll pass in anything that you can imagine.
Probably has a bug program if it's a reputable.
OK.
Any of the big names most likely have a bug program especially if they're reputable.
So here you can see what's based on reward what's based on charity and what's based on points only.
That's how the bug bounties are rewarded.
Some of them are not all cash.
Some of them are just for points and for kudos and the other ones are for charity.
I'm going to go ahead and search Tesla when I do that.
You can see here that Tesla comes up.
Now this is your first lesson into rules of engagement.
We're going to talk about rules of engagement later but it's super important to read the program details
that you see here and what we really need to do is we need to scroll through and make sure that we stay
in scope when we're doing this.
So we have a wild card here.
So this means that any subdomain inside of Tesla dot com is fair game.
Tesla that CNN Tesla Motors etc. What is more important is that we stay with this out of scope so we
don't want to attack shop that you Tesla Motors dot com or energy support that Tesla dot com.
It says you can report vulnerabilities to bug bounty for this one.
Any domains from acquisitions such as Maxwell.
So we have to stay within Tesla and there's a few more sites we're not going to worry too much about
that when we get into the web portion of the course we're going to talk about way more detail on the
new merengue web applications and go into that.
So for now what we're gonna do is we're just going to focus on information gathering what kind of information
can we gather from this client.
So again I'm setting my target the Tesla if you pick another Tesla or another client just make sure
you stay in scope of that client.
So from here we're going to move on to our first video and get our information gathering started.
