Key Concepts Covered in Bug Bounty Testing

1. Content Management System (CMS) Hacking

WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, aur Adobe AEM jaise CMS platforms par chalne wali websites mein aksar outdated plugins, themes, aur weak configurations ki wajah se vulnerabilities milti hain. Penetration testing ke dauran sabse pehle version enumeration kiya jata hai taaki known CVEs ka pata lagaya ja sake.

2. API Security Testing

Modern web applications REST APIs aur GraphQL par nirbhar hoti hain. API endpoints ko test karte waqt Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA), Rate Limiting issues, aur Information Disclosure jaise bugs dhoondhna sabse common aur high-impact areas hain.

3. Web Cache Poisoning

Web Cache Poisoning mein ek attacker un-keyed HTTP headers (jaise X-Forwarded-Host) ka istemal karke web cache ko manipulate karta hai, jisse malicious response baaki users tak serve hone lagta hai.

💡 Cyber-Teck Learning Tip:

Kisi bhi live target par bug hunting shuru karne se pehle Hacking Policy aur Scope document ko acche se padhein. Hamesha authorized bug bounty platforms jaise HackerOne, Bugcrowd, ya Intigriti par hi testing karein.
