(Part 1 — Introduction)
Hey everyone 👋
Are you someone who has been solving Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges and now wants to take the next step into bug bounty hunting? Do you want to make a real-world impact by applying the skills you developed in CTFs on live, production targets?
If that sounds like you, then you’re in the right place — this article series is designed exactly for your current stage.
I’m starting a new series called “Transitioning from CTFs to Bug Bounties.” I’m not sure how many parts it’ll have yet, but I promise that each write-up will add practical, valuable insights to help you navigate your journey.
(Part 2 — Getting Started on Bug Bounty Platforms)
Before we dive deeper, I assume you’ve already registered on bug bounty platforms like HackerOne and Bugcrowd.
If you haven’t done that yet — stop reading, go register right now! It only takes a few minutes and will open the door to dozens of real-world targets waiting for you.
