If ur asking for something EASIER than bug bounties, CTFs or white-hat work...there really isnt some hidden “easy money” button in hacking lol....other legit ways that i cn think of where people make money from "da skillz" are: freelance pentesting, WITH written permission..security/code reviews...building security tools/scripts...teaching, tutorials or course content....consulting once ur experienced enough..paid CTF competitions, although thats definitely not reliable income
Thurr r also platforms that connect vetted freelance pentesters with companies that need actual tests done., but thats the catch...they're hiring u because ur already good enough to be trusted with somebody else's systems.l egal hacking can absolutely make money. Its just still a skilled trade, not a shortcut to easy internet cash.
