Find more Sub-Domains, Sorting, Http Probe
Bug Bounty Hunting - Lecture 5
Course by: Tech Hierarchy

Welcome to Lecture 5 of our Bug Bounty Hunting course, where we'll delve into advanced techniques for sub-domain discovery, sorting, and HTTP probing. In this session, we'll explore how you can expand your reconnaissance efforts to uncover a wider range of sub-domains, prioritize your findings, and verify their HTTP status for further investigation.

Sub-domain discovery is a critical aspect of bug bounty hunting, as it allows you to identify additional attack surfaces and potential targets for security testing. By leveraging advanced techniques and tools, you can discover sub-domains that may have been overlooked during initial reconnaissance, increasing your chances of finding valuable vulnerabilities.

During this session, we'll cover the following topics:

1. Advanced sub-domain discovery techniques: We'll explore advanced techniques for sub-domain discovery, including brute-forcing, permutation, and dictionary-based attacks. You'll learn how to use tools such as Sublist3r, Subfinder, and Amass to uncover sub-domains that may not be publicly linked to the main target domain.

2. Sorting and prioritizing sub-domains: Once you've discovered a large number of sub-domains, it's essential to prioritize your findings based on their relevance and potential for exploitation. We'll discuss strategies for sorting and prioritizing sub-domains based on factors such as popularity, DNS records, and keyword analysis.

3. HTTP probing and status verification: After identifying potential sub-domains, it's crucial to verify their HTTP status to determine if they are active and accessible. We'll demonstrate how you can use tools like httprobe or HTTP status codes to probe sub-domains and classify them based on their HTTP response status (e.g., 200 OK, 404 Not Found, etc.).

4. Analyzing and interpreting results: Finally, we'll discuss how to analyze and interpret the results of your sub-domain discovery and HTTP probing efforts. You'll learn how to identify patterns, anomalies, and potential security risks based on the information gathered, enabling you to prioritize your bug hunting efforts effectively.

By the end of this session, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of advanced sub-domain discovery techniques, sorting strategies, and HTTP probing methods. Armed with this knowledge, you'll be well-equipped to expand your reconnaissance efforts and uncover hidden vulnerabilities in your bug bounty hunts. So, let's dive in and discover what lies beneath the surface of your target domains!
