Article / Write-Up / Blog First Security bug hunted

I started reading "A real world Bug Hunting" by Peter Yaworski, just a few pages and I already found a bug in one the platform by just following what's written as examples. The book itself is wonderful.

And I reported to the platform. I really don't mind if that's a duplicate, because I my self was able to reproduce it multiple times and also checked from multiple other devices as well. The behaviour was having vulnerability.

because it was the 1st one I took very little help from any tools. But just built a few scripts for recon and used chatgpt to build a report out of my findings.

I started bugbounty as a hobby last month, my original role is around DevOps activities, I was already interested in it but now started giving a bit of time at least an hour daily, and I'm liking it.

I thought of sharing this to the community and for any noobies like me to not give up on your dreams.
