I’ve noticed that most new folks who reach out for guidance in bug bounty feel overwhelmed early on trying to learn everything at once. That often leads to half-baked knowledge across multiple areas and slower overall progress. Here's what I recommend instead 👇 1/ Pick one vulnerability type and go all in. Master the ins and outs of that category - how it works, how it breaks, real-world examples, and ways to find it. Once you’ve got depth in one area, the rest will follow naturally. 2/ To put this into perspective, here’s a snapshot of the types of issues I’ve reported over the last 5 years - gradually expanding focus as I grew more confident: 2020: • Local cache issues • Rate limit issues on Login • Session invalidation • MFA bypass 2021: • Rate limit • MFA bypass • CSRF • IDOR • RBAC 2022: • CSRF • IDOR • RBAC • XSS • Business logic • Info disclosure 2023: • Everything from 2022 + • BBP automation • Cache deception • DoS Issues • Subdomain takeover • Auth bypass / misconfig • SQLi • SSRF • RCE 2024: • Everything from 2023 + • AI-related issues • Vhost misconfigurations 2025: • Everything from 2024 + • Many more new things that I will talk about soon :) 3/ There are more, of course, but this covers most of what’s worked well for me. The key takeaway: you don’t need to know everything. Play to your strengths. Stay consistent. And let your scope expand naturally. Hope this helps someone starting out 💪
