Bug Bounty Fundamentals

Work public bug bounty programmes properly — scope discipline, methodology, and reports that get accepted.

4 weeks 22 lessons 14 practical labs
Overview
Bug bounty is legal precisely because programmes publish a scope and grant permission within it. Working outside that scope is not bug hunting, it is unauthorised access — and this course is emphatic about the distinction.

Heavy focus on report writing, because a valid finding badly reported gets closed as informative.

Questions

About this course

Yes. On completion you receive a certificate listing the modules covered and the lab work completed. It reflects what you actually did rather than attendance.
You get direct instructor support. Ask on WhatsApp or Telegram and a person answers — usually the same day. Nobody here will make you feel foolish for asking something basic.
Only with written authorisation from whoever owns them. The techniques are taught for authorised assessment and defensive work. Running them against systems without permission is a criminal offence in most countries, regardless of your intent.
