KingOfBugBountyTips is a bug bounty reconnaissance toolkit that shares techniques and commands from experienced bug hunters for discovering subdomains, APIs, and exploitable tokens during authorized security testing.
The tool addresses the challenge of conducting effective reconnaissance in bug bounty programs by providing a curated collection of one-liner commands and methodologies used by established hunters. Rather than requiring users to piece together reconnaissance techniques from scattered sources, it centralizes proven approaches with explanations designed to help newcomers understand not just what commands to run, but how and why they work. The focus is on recon methodology that can identify already-exploitable assets worth reporting to bug bounty programs.
The project is explicitly scoped for authorized testing only, with clear guidance on permitted use cases including authorized bug bounty programs on platforms like HackerOne and Bugcrowd, authorized penetration testing with written permission, personal lab environments, and educational purposes. It includes specific scope documentation for the Department of Defense Vulnerability Disclosure Program, covering military branches and DoD agencies. Anyone adopting this tool should understand it is designed for hunters who already have authorization to test their targets, and the repository emphasizes responsible disclosure practices including reading program policies, testing safely, documenting findings, reporting privately, and allowing vendors time to patch vulnerabilities.
The project maintains active community engagement through multiple channels including Telegram, Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedIn, indicating ongoing interaction with the bug bounty community. Development appears focused on expanding reconnaissance capabilities and maintaining educational content that explains commands to new hunters rather than just listing them.
