A bug bounty is a program offered by companies, organizations, or platforms that rewards security researchers and ethical hackers for identifying and reporting security vulnerabilities in their systems, applications, or networks. These programs help organizations proactively find and fix security flaws before malicious hackers can exploit them.

Rewards in bug bounty programs vary based on factors like the severity of the vulnerability, its potential impact, and the organization’s budget. Major companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft run bug bounty programs to enhance their cybersecurity.

The most important thing in this process is to find as much information as possible to lead to a successful attack. The first step to get started is to analyze and research the company's corporate environment, see what functions it performs, and how it's structured internally. We can use our preferred browser to do this research.

1.1 ASNs RESEARCHING

ASN (Autonomous System Number) research is crucial in the initial stages of penetration testing because it helps gather critical network intelligence about the target organization. You can determinate if some IP ranges are estrictly linked to the corporation. Here’s why ASN research matters:

• Identifying IP Ranges & Infrastructure
• Mapping External Attack Surface
• Detecting Third-Party Dependencies
• Pivoting for More Intelligence
• Bypassing Network Protections
• Understanding Geolocation & Legal Jurisdictions

1.2 DOMAINS RESEARCHING

These techniques aim to reveal domain information publicly, since information is extracted from third parties on the Internet. It will allow us to obtain a global view of the domain structure.
