A Japanese student turned Claude Сode into a $10K/month bug-hunting machine.
his name is Kaito Yamamoto, a young security researcher who took 681 real bug reports and built something that feels like a tiny AI hacking team.
here's the crazy part. you can literally copy his entire setup for free:
companies pay security researchers to find vulnerabilities before someone else does.
instead of starting every hunt from zero, he built a system that already knows where to look, what patterns matter, and how to turn a real finding into a proper report.
and the numbers are ridiculous:
83 security skills. 15 commands. 681 disclosed bug patterns. 24 vulnerability classes.
all packed into Claude Code.
here's how the whole thing works:
-> INSTALL - add Claude-BugHunter to Claude Code from GitHub
-> PICK - choose a bug bounty program and an authorized target
-> SCAN - map the attack surface and identify the areas worth investigating
-> HUNT - Claude loads specialized skills for XSS, SQLi, SSRF, IDOR and other vulnerability classes
-> VERIFY - check suspicious findings, collect evidence and filter out false positives
-> REPORT - prepare a structured bug report for the program to review
-> EARN - if the program accepts an eligible vulnerability, you could receive a bounty
and here's what I find interesting.
the money isn't in telling Claude to "find bugs."
it's in building a repeatable process that turns thousands of places to look into a small list of findings worth a human researcher's time.
no magic money button. no guaranteed payouts.
just a serious security research workflow packaged into one open-source project.
