Understanding HTTP, TCP/IP, DNS, and Linux commands is essential for ethical hacking. A strong foundation in these areas helps in security analysis and reconnaissance.
Use Subfinder, Amass, Shodan, and subrute and more tools for subdomain enumeration and Recon. Learn OSINT techniques to gather information about targets efficiently.
Familiarize yourself with Burp Suite, SQLMap, and XSS payloads. Learn to exploit OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, bypass WAFs, and escalate attacks creatively.
Write detailed bug reports with PoCs and impact analysis. Engage in bug bounty platforms (HackerOne, Bugcrowd), participate in CTFs, and follow security researchers to stay ahead! Read Medium write-ups and H1 reports, and stay updated on CVE bugs to enhance your skills continuously.
Web penetration testing (web pentesting) is a security assessment process where ethical hackers simulate cyberattacks to identify vulnerabilities in web applications before malicious hackers can exploit them.
Bug bounty hunting is a freelance-based security testing method where hackers find vulnerabilities in exchange for rewards. Web penetration testing is a structured security assessment performed by professionals to identify and fix vulnerabilities before deployment.
The average salary for a web penetration tester varies by experience and location. Entry-level testers earn around $60,000 per year, while experienced professionals can make over $120,000 annually. Freelance bug bounty hunters can earn significantly based on the severity and number of vulnerabilities they find.

We teach everything on real-time live applications, not in labs. You will learn from real-time POCs and bugs found in top 50 MNCs. No labs, no PPTs – 100% practical learning.
Bug bounty hunting is the process where ethical hackers test applications for security vulnerabilities and report them to the organization in exchange for rewards or recognition.
Start by learning web security fundamentals, practicing on platforms like Hack The Box and TryHackMe, and participating in bug bounty programs like HackerOne and Bugcrowd.
Popular platforms include HackerOne, Bugcrowd, Intigriti, Open Bug Bounty, and YesWeHack, where companies list their programs for security testing.
Common vulnerabilities include XSS (Cross-Site Scripting), SQL Injection, CSRF, IDOR, SSRF, and RCE, all listed in the OWASP Top 10.
Common tools include Burp Suite, Nmap, Amass, Subfinder, SQLmap, FFUF for finding security vulnerabilities.
