What Hunting Methodology does

Hunting Methodology guides a non-linear bug bounty workflow from recon and surface mapping through payload testing, validation, chaining, and reporting. Use it to prioritize targets, cover variants, and avoid repeating exhausted paths.

Hunting Methodology is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. Hunting Methodology comes from a repository tagged agents, bug-bounty, bugcrowd, claude-code and hackerone.

Documentation

README

Hunting Methodology

The 5-Phase Non-Linear Workflow

Phase 1: Understand the Target (before touching anything)

  1. Read program scope, policy, safe harbor
  2. Read 5+ disclosed reports in hacktivity
  3. Map crown jewels: what would hurt the company most?
  4. Understand the business domain — what features handle money, PII, auth?

Phase 2: Map the Surface

  1. Subdomain enumeration → live hosts → tech stack detection
  2. JS bundle analysis → API endpoints, secrets, internal URLs
  3. Run /surface for P1/P2/Kill ranking

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.

Analyze

Analyze turns recon output into ranked attack paths, crown-jewel targets, and blind spots for a target. Use it before hunting to decide which endpoints and vulnerability classes to test first.

Autopilot

Autopilot orchestrates autonomous security hunting across a target, loading scope and policy files, dispatching specialist agents, and tracking progress until the exhaustion gates are met. It is used for long-running bug-bounty assessments in interactive or fully autonomous mode.

Brain

Brain manages pentest engagement state with init, brief, status, exhausted, and record subcommands. Use it to capture targets, evidence, dead ends, and next actions during an assessment.

Business Logic Hunting

Business Logic Hunting finds logic flaws in payment, auth, and subscription flows such as price manipulation, race conditions, MFA bypass, and trial abuse. Use it when testing for workflow skipping or client-side state trust issues.

Chain

Chain builds deep exploit chains from a confirmed bug and dispatches a chain-builder agent to find escalation paths. Use it when you have a validated issue and want end-to-end impact or a reportable chain.

Correlate

Correlate runs a finding correlation engine to turn individual findings into attack chains. Use it after collecting bugs to identify multi-step paths, document reproduction steps, and surface high-impact chains.
