Hi Vipul from The Hacker’s Log here 👋

Alright, let’s talk about money left on the table. 💸

I’ve been doing bug bounties for three years now, and I’ve seen incredibly talented hackers — people way smarter than me — miss easy bugs over and over again. Not because they lack skills, but because they’re making the same recon mistakes everyone makes.

I know this because I made ALL these mistakes. And they cost me thousands of dollars in missed bounties. 😭

So here are the top 10 recon mistakes that are causing you to walk right past low-hanging fruit. Let’s dive in. 👇

Mistake #1: Running Every Tool Before Understanding Any Output 🔧❌

What hackers do:

subfinder -d target.com -o subs.txt &
amass enum -d target.com -o amass.txt &
assetfinder --subs-only target.com >> assets.txt &
findomain -t target.com -u findomain.txt &
# Run everything in parallel! 🚀
