Bug bounty hunting is part art, part science — but it’s mostly about consistency. Every hacker knows that manual recon and testing can be mind-numbing and repetitive. That’s why building your own automation suite for common vulnerabilities like XSS and IDOR is a total game changer. 🎯

In this blog, we’ll explore how to build a modular, customizable automation toolkit using good old Bash and Python to help you:

• 🔍 Find endpoints, forms, and params
• 💉 Test for reflected and stored XSS
• 🔑 Hunt for Insecure Direct Object References (IDORs)
• ⚙️ Chain your tools for full recon and exploitation

Whether you’re a beginner tired of typing the same curl commands, or a seasoned hunter looking to improve efficiency — this one’s for you. ❤️‍🔥

Absolutely. Tools like:

• Dalfox – 🦊 Fast XSS scanning
• ParamSpider – 🕷️ Finds URL parameters
• Arjun – 🧪 Discovers hidden GET/POST parameters
• kxss – Finds potential XSS sinks
