The Bug Bounty Resources I Wish I Had When I Started

When I first started learning bug bounty, I kept jumping between random YouTube videos, outdated write-ups, and incomplete roadmaps.

It felt like I was learning everything... but making very little progress.

So I decided to organize everything I use into one place.

It includes resources for:

🐞 Bug Bounty Roadmap

🌐 Web Application Security

💥 XSS

⚡ SSRF

🛡 Authentication & Authorization

📚 PortSwigger Labs

🏆 HackerOne Resources

🐙 GitHub Tools

🧪 Practice Labs

🤖 AI Tools for Bug Hunters

If you're starting bug bounty, I hope it saves you the same months of confusion I went through.
