After 4 months, 28 rejected reports, countless sleepless nights, and moments I almost gave upโฆ
Today, I finally got my first valid bug. One triaged report. One step closer to my dream.

๐ฅ Ultimate IDOR Testing Checklist ๐ฅ

IDOR is still one of the most impactful bugs in bug bounty. Many critical findings start by simply changing an ID in a request.
๐ก This checklist covers:
โ๏ธ ID & UUID manipulation
โ๏ธ API & version bypasses
โ๏ธ Multi-account testing
โ๏ธ GraphQL & WebSocket
โ๏ธ Race conditions & batch abuse
โ๏ธ Mobile, gRPC & blind IDOR
If you want high-impact bugs, donโt skip this. ๐

@Bugcrowd why does your triage teams to triage my submissions sometimes take about a week? My report has been waiting for triage even though the program lists an expected triage time ?
How long does it usually take for the @Bugcrowd triage team to review a report? My submission has been in triage for about a week even though the program has an expected triage time. Is this normal?
#bugbounty
It has been 1 month since my report was triaged by the @Bugcrowd triage team, but @intercom has not provided any response or taken any action on the submitted report. Hi intercom internal security team @intercom Could you please check the status and provide an update?
I made close to $10,000 from bug bounties this month. I'm 19. Still in engineering school.
Here's what I didn't show you.
I found a Critical RCE โ Remote Code Execution via path traversal on a company's server. The kind of bug that pays $5,000-$20,000.
Duplicate. Someone found it 12 days before me.
$0.
Same work. Same skill. Same report. Wrong timing.
That's one of dozens. For every bounty I post, there are 15+ reports that got:
โ Duplicated
โ Marked informative
โ Ignored for months
โ Closed as "not applicable"
โ Lowballed after months of follow-ups
But you know what I do when that happens?
I wake up. No emotion. No hate. I open Burp Suite. Next target. Next report.
Because if I don't, someone else will. Every day I take off is a day someone else dupes me on the next find. So I show up. Even when I don't feel like it. Even when it hurts.
Bug bounty is not "find bug, get paid." It's find 50 bugs, fight for 6, get duped on some of your best work, get ghosted on others, and still show up the next morning.
The $10K months are real. But behind every mountain is a hundred steps nobody sees.
If you're starting out and getting duped and rejected โ that IS the path. You're not doing it wrong. You're doing it.
Keep going.
