Module 5 : Stop Guessing! Advanced Recon & Brute-Force Techniques for Bug Bounties
Think a file is safe just because it isn't linked? Think again. Most developers rely on "security through obscurity," but today we’re using URL fuzzing to tear that down.
About the Video: In this deep dive, we move past basic brute-forcing to master the science of Web Reconnaissance. We explore how to identify unknown sections of a website—from unlinked admin panels and backup files to undocumented hidden parameters that are often gold mines for SQL injection, XSS, and IDOR vulnerabilities.
We also tackle the "Wall"—how to scale your attacks while bypassing WAF bans and CAPTCHAs using IP rotation and human mimicry. Whether you’re a student or a professional pen-tester, these methods will help you maximize your attack surface and find what others miss.
What You Will Learn:
Directory & Page Fuzzing: Finding config.php.bak and unsecured admin routes.
Subdomain Enumeration: Using passive OSINT (Shodan, Censys) and active DNS brute-forcing.
Virtual Host (Vhost) Fuzzing: Discovering hidden services sharing a single IP via Host header manipulation.
Parameter Discovery: Using tools like Arjun and x8 to find hidden GET/POST inputs.
Advanced Differential Fuzzing: Leveraging Gudifu to find HTTP parsing discrepancies that lead to request smuggling.
CAPTCHA Bypass: Understanding the difference between reCAPTCHA v2 and v3 and how to stay undetected.
Tools Mentioned: ffuf, Gobuster, Arjun, x8, Subfinder, Amass, ParamMiner, and DnsX.
