1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:08,650
All right, we came towards the end of the course, and now is the time to discuss, well, how can

2
00:00:08,650 --> 00:00:11,890
we earn money with the skills that we learned?

3
00:00:12,850 --> 00:00:18,550
Is it something that we can monetize or is it just additional knowledge that we gained?

4
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:27,220
Well, let me tell you, you can monetize bug bounty and you can monetize it really well, depending

5
00:00:27,220 --> 00:00:29,100
on how good you get.

6
00:00:29,950 --> 00:00:37,540
But before we talk about where and how to do it, let's figure out what the next steps are before we

7
00:00:37,540 --> 00:00:41,070
get to earning money with the skills that we learned.

8
00:00:41,710 --> 00:00:44,250
Well, picture it like this.

9
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:47,530
This arrow is your path.

10
00:00:47,740 --> 00:00:55,720
At the beginning of this arrow is you a bug bounty hunter that just finished this course and at the

11
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,140
end is you earning money from bug bounty.

12
00:00:59,890 --> 00:01:04,060
The only thing that's in between is practice.

13
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,370
There is a lot of practice waiting for you to really master this skill.

14
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:17,090
The only way to get comfortable with bug bounty is to perform all the attacks recovered numerous times

15
00:01:17,090 --> 00:01:18,580
on different applications.

16
00:01:19,220 --> 00:01:25,150
You might also discover some new vulnerabilities in the meantime that are also useful to know.

17
00:01:25,820 --> 00:01:33,200
You can learn more about bug bounty through various different websites, courses, books and bug bounty

18
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:33,760
programs.

19
00:01:34,370 --> 00:01:38,900
Once you do that, you're ready to hand down your first bug.

20
00:01:39,650 --> 00:01:45,410
OK, let's say you are ready and you practiced and feel comfortable doing bug hunting.

21
00:01:45,710 --> 00:01:46,820
Well, what now?

22
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,440
Where can I submit my bugs and earn real money?

23
00:01:52,450 --> 00:01:52,910
OK.

24
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,430
Have you noticed how I mentioned something called Bug Bounty Program?

25
00:01:58,060 --> 00:01:59,790
Well, there is your answer.

26
00:02:00,310 --> 00:02:08,050
There are numerous online platforms that host different bug bounty programs that pay real money.

27
00:02:09,009 --> 00:02:10,479
How exactly does it work?

28
00:02:10,690 --> 00:02:17,950
Well, it's based on different companies applying on the platform for bug bounty programs regarding

29
00:02:17,950 --> 00:02:20,890
their website, their application or software.

30
00:02:21,460 --> 00:02:28,030
On the other side, there are hackers that also applied for that same bug bounty program, and their

31
00:02:28,030 --> 00:02:31,350
goal is to find the bug on that company's product.

32
00:02:32,050 --> 00:02:37,970
First thing they do is accept terms and conditions and rules for that bug bounty program.

33
00:02:38,470 --> 00:02:44,110
After that, if they fulfilled the requirements, they're allowed to explore for vulnerabilities on

34
00:02:44,110 --> 00:02:44,740
that Web site.

35
00:02:44,740 --> 00:02:52,570
For example, if they find a vulnerability, they are then rewarded with a payment, which can be different

36
00:02:52,570 --> 00:02:54,820
depending on the vulnerability severity.

37
00:02:55,390 --> 00:03:02,080
Once the counter gets paid, the company then patches the vulnerability and it is no longer vulnerable

38
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:02,900
to that attack.

39
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,660
It's simple as that.

40
00:03:05,290 --> 00:03:09,290
But listen, there are some important stuff here to mention.

41
00:03:09,970 --> 00:03:17,200
Remember when I said that hacker accepts terms and conditions and rules before he enters bug bounty

42
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:17,570
program?

43
00:03:18,370 --> 00:03:23,770
Well, these terms and conditions are not something you want to skip, like you keep them on every other

44
00:03:23,770 --> 00:03:25,380
website here.

45
00:03:25,420 --> 00:03:26,940
They are really important.

46
00:03:27,220 --> 00:03:34,000
For example, in the bug bounty program rules, it could say that certain types of attacks are not allowed

47
00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:37,270
or that certain domains are not for targeting.

48
00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:43,750
It could, for example, have a rule that those attacks are not allowed, which is a common bug bounty

49
00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:44,360
program rule.

50
00:03:45,070 --> 00:03:50,980
If you don't bother reading those rules and you do what you're not supposed to do, like running a business

51
00:03:50,980 --> 00:03:58,810
attack, for example, well, then you can get in trouble for doing something that you're not allowed

52
00:03:58,810 --> 00:03:59,120
to do.

53
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:05,650
Nonetheless, I'm sure all of you will follow the rules and there will be no problems with that.

54
00:04:06,310 --> 00:04:12,910
Now that we covered how earning money with bug bounty works, let's mention a few platforms that are

55
00:04:12,910 --> 00:04:15,130
hosting bug bounty programs.

56
00:04:15,670 --> 00:04:23,140
We have hacker one back crowd integrity, Sinak, and there are others, of course, but these are one

57
00:04:23,140 --> 00:04:24,390
of the most famous ones.

58
00:04:24,940 --> 00:04:29,680
Let's go on one of these to see how the Web page looks like.

59
00:04:31,340 --> 00:04:33,980
OK, I've chosen to show you the crowd.

60
00:04:34,130 --> 00:04:41,120
It's one of the biggest platforms for bug bounty programs, and you can find it at the link of big crowd

61
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,410
dot com, or you can simply just type a crowd in your search bar.

62
00:04:46,980 --> 00:04:53,970
Once you do that, let's navigate to their Web page and see what they have to offer and how all of this

63
00:04:53,970 --> 00:04:54,730
stuff works.

64
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,840
So the first page that it opens will be this one where you will have this how it works.

65
00:05:00,850 --> 00:05:06,530
But you can click on that and you can read more about bug bounty programs and all of that.

66
00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:09,470
Of course, we are not going to go through all of this.

67
00:05:09,660 --> 00:05:16,680
You have an explanation how it all works, but that is something I leave up to you to read.

68
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:24,570
Another useful thing that you have and that you will notice in the upper right corner is this researcher

69
00:05:24,570 --> 00:05:27,210
portal and customer Porter.

70
00:05:27,930 --> 00:05:28,680
What is that?

71
00:05:28,950 --> 00:05:32,640
Well, you can create account for two different situations.

72
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:40,560
Either you're a security researcher or a bug bounty hunter or you're a customer or a company that wants

73
00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:42,820
their product to be tested for bugs.

74
00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:49,230
That's how you would register accordingly as a bug bounty hunter who would go to researcher.

75
00:05:49,710 --> 00:05:54,300
And we can also click right here on researchers to read more about that.

76
00:05:55,350 --> 00:06:01,140
If we scroll a little bit down, let's see if there is anything interesting here to say.

77
00:06:02,140 --> 00:06:07,960
So we have a few different programs, bug bounty penetration testing, vulnerability disclosure, attack,

78
00:06:07,970 --> 00:06:15,100
surface management, you can also learn even more and upgrade your skills with different programs.

79
00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:18,920
But that is also something that I will leave up to you.

80
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,240
Now, let's get to the important stuff, and that is these programs.

81
00:06:24,260 --> 00:06:31,930
If you click on programs, it will open this page with all the different bug bounty programs that this

82
00:06:31,930 --> 00:06:33,370
platform offers.

83
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,160
And you will notice there are some really big companies out here.

84
00:06:38,170 --> 00:06:39,460
We have Kashyap.

85
00:06:39,460 --> 00:06:40,840
We have up work.

86
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:48,760
We have let's go all the way down into Georgia and you get some of the information about certain bug

87
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:55,270
bounty programs right here, for example, how much they pay, it says downhere managed by Foulkrod.

88
00:06:55,270 --> 00:06:57,840
So let's take a closer look at one of these programs.

89
00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:00,070
Let's go with APOC now.

90
00:07:00,070 --> 00:07:02,710
Opfer is the big platform.

91
00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:03,970
It's a freelance platform.

92
00:07:03,970 --> 00:07:11,130
And let's see, what do they have to offer us and how exactly does their bug bounty program look like?

93
00:07:11,950 --> 00:07:19,060
Remember, there are few important stuff that we must take a look at before actually applying for any

94
00:07:19,060 --> 00:07:23,410
bug bounty program, and that is their terms and conditions and roots.

95
00:07:24,340 --> 00:07:31,330
So up here, we will get that they're paying up to five thousand dollars for an ability and it can also

96
00:07:31,330 --> 00:07:34,930
go up to ten thousand dollars of maximum reward.

97
00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:41,410
Now, you will see later that the actual amount that you get paid is based on the severity of the vulnerability

98
00:07:41,410 --> 00:07:42,040
that you found.

99
00:07:43,260 --> 00:07:45,160
Let's go all the way down.

100
00:07:45,210 --> 00:07:51,690
We have special bonuses and rewards you would actually want to read through all of this if you were

101
00:07:51,690 --> 00:07:53,790
to apply for this program.

102
00:07:54,180 --> 00:07:58,620
On the right side, we have how much vulnerabilities are reported.

103
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,810
So four hundred and seventy.

104
00:08:01,350 --> 00:08:06,670
And the average payout was six hundred and forty eight dollars.

105
00:08:07,470 --> 00:08:11,720
Now, if we go even more down, here is the important stuff.

106
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,310
Scope and rewards.

107
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:21,840
Here you will have the description of what exactly are you going to, let's say, perform a penetration

108
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:28,080
test on or try to discover bugs, they will tell you which application it is, which domain it is,

109
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,280
what you're allowed to do.

110
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:34,289
And up here, we also get how much they're willing to pay per vulnerability.

111
00:08:34,590 --> 00:08:42,450
And you will notice these signs right here, green for orange, three red P2 and.

112
00:08:43,620 --> 00:08:44,940
Or is this orange?

113
00:08:45,150 --> 00:08:50,550
I'm not sure this could be yellow P three, orange two and red P one.

114
00:08:51,310 --> 00:08:57,850
Now, we'll discuss that in just a second, but let's scroll a little bit more down and here is also

115
00:08:57,850 --> 00:09:00,630
important stuff out of scope targets.

116
00:09:01,090 --> 00:09:07,060
These are the targets that you are not allowed to perform penetration tests on or discover box.

117
00:09:08,180 --> 00:09:14,510
If you do so, you can get in trouble and you can get removed from the program and not rewarded at all,

118
00:09:14,660 --> 00:09:16,430
and that is the easy way out.

119
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:22,610
You can also get sued, but hopefully you will read through all of this information before applying

120
00:09:22,610 --> 00:09:23,960
for any bug bounty program.

121
00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:29,440
Down here, we have ratings and rewards and we also have requirements.

122
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,200
This is also important to read before applying.

123
00:09:32,630 --> 00:09:36,290
They want the user to participate in the apropo bounty.

124
00:09:36,290 --> 00:09:41,990
Please configure your scanner to include bug crowd in the user agents.

125
00:09:41,990 --> 00:09:48,540
Trink failure to do so may result in your IP being temporarily blocked from participation in the program.

126
00:09:49,540 --> 00:09:57,550
Access your account, you can self register for an account in the API using your background ninja dot

127
00:09:57,550 --> 00:10:02,380
com, email address, testing, using any other account is out of scope.

128
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:05,200
So this is also some important stuff.

129
00:10:06,030 --> 00:10:14,670
Down here, we have target information, access and credentials exclusions and to really understand

130
00:10:14,670 --> 00:10:15,550
these vulnerabilities.

131
00:10:15,570 --> 00:10:18,720
You can scroll all the way down and down here.

132
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,340
You will have program rules.

133
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:26,730
This program does not offer financial or point based or four for five informational findings, which

134
00:10:26,730 --> 00:10:30,860
is probably information gathering vulnerability or information disclosure.

135
00:10:31,230 --> 00:10:39,370
And here you will have the list of different vulnerabilities and also how they are rated by severity.

136
00:10:39,850 --> 00:10:46,320
So here you can take a look at what different vulnerabilities belong to P one technical security or

137
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,780
the highest severity.

138
00:10:48,420 --> 00:10:57,120
So we have a injection Xixi remote command, execution command, ejection, disclosure of secrets and

139
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:57,720
many more.

140
00:10:58,650 --> 00:11:04,710
You can read through all of these different vulnerabilities to understand what level each vulnerability

141
00:11:04,860 --> 00:11:05,250
is.

142
00:11:06,300 --> 00:11:07,660
OK, awesome.

143
00:11:08,310 --> 00:11:12,270
And that is pretty much all you need to know to start with background.

144
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:20,400
Nonetheless, we are at the end of the course, there is a lot of practice still awaiting you to really

145
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,130
master this field, which I'm sure you will.

146
00:11:23,610 --> 00:11:25,550
Everything else is on you.

147
00:11:26,130 --> 00:11:32,050
If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask and we will be more than happy to answer.

148
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,130
Thank you for watching and happy hacking.
