WHAT IS BUG BOUNTY HUNTING?
This is the area of cyber security in which you work from anywhere in the world, and your job is to find how a computer, website, database, CCTV, iot etc, can be hacked or manipulated for fraud and you are paid immediately or in a few day.

HOW TO BEGIN A CAREER IN BUG BOUNTY HUNTING?
1. Learn bug bounty hunting using Termux (for smart phone users).
2. Learn bug bounty hunting using Kali Linux (for laptop users).
Note that this type of hacking is different from general hacking, eg. you cannot be paid for phishing or any type of social engineering, these are out of scope.
3. Register in HackerOne, Intigriti or Bugcrowd as a bug bounty hunter.
4. You must follow the rules of any bug bounty hunting program eg. you must know in-scope targets and those targets that are out of scope, to avoid rejection of your bug.
5. Find bugs/vulnerabilities.
6. Confirm the bugs/vulnerabilities.
7. Provide a working proof of concept for each bug.
8. Submit your bugs/vulnerabilities via the appropriate channel, by using information from the program guideline.
9. Always check your messages for reply and payment.

TOOLS NEEDED
1. Laptop or a smartphone.

good day boss, i really want to go into bug bounty but I don’t really know where to start. I am just starting my tech journey, I don’t know if it would be ok for me to contact you, and which materials would you recommend or suggest I start my journey with.
