Web Security Checklist
A Systematic Method to Find Real Bugs — Not Random Guessing
Most bug hunters don't fail because they lack skill.
They fail because they miss things. This checklist ensures that does not happen.
Built from real reports, real triage feedback, and real mistakes that cost money.
📦 What’s Inside
- Recon & Mapping – Endpoint discovery, parameter identification, app logic analysis
- Authentication & Authorization – IDOR patterns, role confusion, session handling
- Input Handling – SQLi, NoSQLi, SSTI, XSS, file upload bypasses
- Business Logic – State manipulation, workflow bypasses, price/limit abuse
- API Testing – BOLA, mass assignment, rate limiting issues
- High-Impact Bugs – Chained vulnerabilities, WAF bypasses, misconfigurations
⚡ Why This Checklist Works
Structured, repeatable process
Focus on valid, triage-friendly bugs
Think like a reviewer, not just an attacker
Scale your hunting without burnout
This is not a list of vulnerability names.
Each item tells you what to test, why it matters, and what success looks like.
💭 Final Thought
Bug bounty success is rarely about one genius idea.
It’s about not missing obvious and non-obvious issues.
This checklist makes your testing deliberate, repeatable, and profitable — one program at a time.
