🛡️ Discover the Red Team Way
We've meticulously crafted this methodology to elevate the hacking prowess of security researchers. It provides a glimpse into how BHEH's Red Team conducts bug bounty missions. It's never about the certificates you earn; it's about the authentic experience you gain. The real world is far more intricate than practice. Companies bolster their security, investing substantial resources to safeguard, detect, and respond. Yet, this methodology remains triumphant, garnering us numerous successful bug bounty awards.
While our techniques may evolve over time due to emerging tools and methods, this foundation forms the cornerstone for all reconnaissance, essential to crafting a precise vector of attacks. Recon and OSINT constitute 90% of the work, with attacks comprising the rest. Don't lose heart; persevere, practice diligently, educate yourself, and embrace continuous learning. This journey requires time, dedication, and unwavering consistency. Remember, you're driven by passion, not just monetary gain. You're demonstrating how a 1337 ethical hacker dismantles defenses to make a point and earn recognition.
If all bug bounty hunters adopt this methodology, results will echo. By refining your techniques, investing more time in Recon, and elevating quality, you'll outshine others. Expect fewer duplicates and focus on more challenging targets.

- We respect the privacy of clients we are working on Hackerone.com & use only passive techniques, we do not share anything related to security misconfigurations, and everything is taken from passive resources, including the techniques performed.
- The purpose is for Educational only!
- We will update the list everytime we add/remove tools.
- Some of the Methodologies we use during our Stream, since we had many requests to post it, here you go:
Main Domain:
XXXX Enter from Scope XXXX
Secondary *.* Domains:
XXXX Enter from Scope XXXX
Single Sub-domains:
XXXX Enter from Scope XXXX
Passive Recon Techniques:
- You can use also BHEH-SUB-PWNER New!
First things first:
- Create Folders (Subdomains, URLS, IPs)
- Recon-ng - Recon Passively for subdomains/ips/ports/params/js
- Export lists from recon-ng and use httpx to create urls/probing (urls/IPs/Subdomains)
- Use isup.sh to filter ips
UPLOAD ALL RESULTS INTO PLATFORM
Note: If you see domain.* you have to use the below technique, check this file:
Ctrl+H with regex mode enabled and replace ^ with the domain name
Then Use :
Then Run subdomains using httpx for URLs:
Use updog to offer easier workflow when uploading/checking directories locally.
For example when using a Raspberry Pi, or VPS it helps uploading files locally on the machine.
nmap -iL ips.txt -sSV -A -T4 -O -Pn -v -F -oX nmap2.xml
Extra Sn1per - WebApp Mode:
sniper -f /root/Desktop/Bounty/Airbnb/ips/valid-airbnb_ips.txt -m massweb -w airbnbtestweb
UPLOAD ALL RESULTS INTO PLATFORM
Examine Some Services Manually from the Cloud Platform Hive: New!
Use Metasploit + Searchsploit to manually search - note down certain areas of interest including Log4j Patterns.
This could take days/weeks - So, its a non stop process.
5b. Extra Osmedeus Scan New!
You can use on the list of IP addresses, a domain or list of URLs gathered Osemedeus with UI to go for more in depth recon/attacks on CVEs:
osmedeus server
For the UI:
Get Credentials from here:
cat ~/.osmedeus/config.yaml
...
client:
password: xxxx
username: osmedeus
...
Then visit: [YOURIP:8000](https://your-vps-ip:8000/ui/)
osmedeus scan -f vuln-and-dirb -t list-of-domains.txt
osmedeus scan -m repo-scan -t https://github.com/j3ssie/sample-repo
osmedeus scan -m repo-scan -t /tmp/source-code-folder
osmedeus scan -m repo-scan -T list-of-repo.txt
osmedeus scan -T list_of_targets.txt
cat list_of_targets.txt | osmedeus scan -c 2
osmedeus scan -t sample.com
Check for Heartbleed:
cat subdomains.txt | while read line ; do echo "QUIT" | openssl s_client -connect $line:443 2>&1 | grep 'server extension "heartbeat" (id=15)' || echo $line: safe; done
Extract Javascripts from domains, and fetch only the URLS from those big files, can also be used with any type of file containing huge data:
First use getJs to get the Javascripts:
getJS --url website.com --output /root/results.txt
getJS --input urls.txt --output /root/results.txt
Extract URLs directly or from a file using this one-liner:
From any type of file:
cat file | grep -Eo "(http|https)://[a-zA-Z0-9./?=_-]*"*
Directly from a website:
curl https://domain.xx/file.js | grep -Eo "(http|https)://[a-zA-Z0-9./?=_-]*"*
OSINT: (Can be done on RPI)
Check for Domain TakeOver with Takeover by M4llok
Takeover Tool:
takeover -l sub_domains.txt -v -t 10
Check for open Amazon S3 buckets
ls | grep s3 from nuclei-templates/technologies
Can use nuclei -l urls.txt -t /root/nuclei-templates/technologies/s3-detect.yaml
Attack Buckets: New!
- Use ParamSpider to Hunt for URLS with Parameters automatically from wayback machine - You can also use
Arjun, we are switching toParamSpideras part of building a workflow
python3 paramspider.py --domain DOMAINNAME.com --exclude woff,png,svg,php,jpg --output /root/Desktop/Bounty/params.txt
Technique to Clean Params from XSS:
sed 's/unix/linux/g' reconfile.txt
- Use Smuggler on URLs list to test for http requests that could desync, and posting multiple chunked requests to smuggle external sources so the backend server will forward the request with cookies, data to the front end server
(Can be done on RPI)
cat list_of_urls.txt | python3 smuggler.py -l /root/location.txt
Bonus
A) Eyewitness to take Screenshots of all URLS, Will run on VPS only! New!
eyewitness -f /root/Desktop/Bounty/Client/urls.txt
zip -r name.zip folder
Examine the Results Manually
B) Pattern Check Example for Results with gf & gf-patterns:
After you have the Parameters Gathered, we want to check for specific patterns and possible vulnerable URLs that can be attacked using Meg or other Fuzzing Tools.
cat /root/Desktop/Bounty/params.txt | gf xss | sed 's/FUZZ/ /g' >> /root/Desktop/Bounty/xss_params_forMeg.txt
Very Powerful One Liner - You can Pipe also directly to Meg:
Use Meg with Seclist fuzzing for Links: (Gathered from gau/arjun/paramspider/gf)
For Meg, we must remove the ‘FUZZ’ from paramspider and replace it with a null character:
sed 's/FUZZ//g' reconfile.txt
meg -v LFI-gracefulsecurity-linux.txt /root/Desktop/Bounty/urls.txt /root/Desktop/urls.txt -s 200
JSScanner:
Scanning Javascript Files for Endpoints, Secrets, Hardcoded credentials,IDOR, Openredirect and more
Paste URLS into alive.txt
Run script alive.txt - Examine the results using GF advanced patterns
Use tree command, cat into subdirectories:
cat * */*.txt
cat */*.js | gf api-keys
cat /*/*.txt | gf ssrf > /root/Desktop/ssrf.txt
Or New Method with GitLeaks: New!
Scan a Directory with Javascripts, Files, Json Etc.. for Secrets!
gitleaks --path=/directory -v --no-git
Scan a File with Any Extension for Secrets!
gitleaks --path=/file.xxx -v --no-git
- Find XSS Vulnerabilities from
Paramspider&DalfoxNew!
Since we have params urls from paramspider, dalfox needs to know where to inject, and you can define it with XSS instead of FUZZ, so here is a command to replace this from the result, and create a new list to be used on dalfox.
sed 's/FUZZ/XSS/g' reconfile.txt
You are now ready for parsing the urls into dalfox in pipe mode:
cat /root/Desktop/Bounty/xss_params.txt | dalfox pipe | cut -d " " -f 2 > output.txt
or
dalfox file /root/Desktop/Bounty/xss_params.txt | cut -d " " -f 2 > output.txt
For Deeper Attacks add this:
--deep-domxss
Silence --silence Prints only PoC When found and progress
10 - After Recon: New!
When you find Keys/Tokens - Check from here: Keyhacks
OSINT & Passive Amplified Attacks: (Raspberry Pi)
OSINT:
Perform OSINT using spiderfoot
One off 1337 Powerful Command Attacks with Amass:
amass enum -passive -d [subdomain] -v | httpx -verbose | nuclei -t /root/nuclei-templates/cves/ -o /root/Desktop/Bounty/location.txt
amass enum -passive -d [Domain] -v | httpx -verbose | jaeles scan -s 'cves' -s 'sensitive' -s 'fuzz' -s ‘common' -s 'routines' report -o /root/Desktop/Bounty/reportname.txt --title "[Client] Jaeles Full Report"
- Use Eyewitness to take screenshots from URLs
eyewitness -f /root/Desktop/Bounty/Client/urls.txt
./gochopchop scan --url-file /root/Desktop/Bounty/urls.txt --threads 4
sniper -f /root/Desktop/Bounty/Airbnb/ips/valid-airbnb_ips.txt -m massweb -w airbnbtestweb
scp -P 7 /root/Desktop/test.txt [email protected]:/root
use Gotty - gotty
gotty -p 1337 -w recon-ng
Gau - for realtime URL extraction when performing manual search so you can have urls to attack.
Hunt for Links that have Parameters by using gau (Get all URLS) and displaying all links that have params:
cat subdomains.txt | gau | tee /root/Desktop/urls.txt | lolcat
gau domains -o urls.txt
gau example.com
gau -o example-urls.txt example.com
gau -b png,jpg,gif example.com
