Dipanshu Kumar will guide users through a 10-day Bug Bounty Bootcamp covering bug bounty hunting basics, starting with virtualization and OWASP Top 10.
Hardware requirements for bug bounty hunting are basic, needing an operating system, 8GB RAM, and a 250GB hard drive.
Virtualization tools like VMware, VirtualBox, and Docker are essential for running multiple operating systems and applications in isolated environments.
Virtualization enables the operation of multiple virtual machines or containers on a single physical system by establishing a layer between the OS and hardware.
Establishing and maintaining organization by keeping accurate records and using checklists will enhance bug bounty success rates in the long term.
Using OWASP checklist for web application security testing can help beginners keep track of their testing progress.
Taking notes is crucial for monitoring progress and recalling actions during bug bounty hunting, with tools like Evernote and OneNote being popular choices.
Consistency in note-taking, continuous learning, and integrity are key qualities for success in bug bounty hunting.
The next day's session will cover creating CVE feed sources, staying updated on cybersecurity developments, choosing bug-hunting platforms, and setting up RSS feeds.
