## What it is
A curated list of publicly disclosed bug bounty write-ups organized by vulnerability type such as XSS, SQLi, SSRF, and IDOR. It serves as a reference for bug bounty hunters seeking exploitation insights for specific vulnerability classes.

## Use cases
- find write-ups for exploiting a specific vulnerability type like SSRF or XXE
- learn how researchers exploited OAuth flaws in real bug bounty reports
- study real-world examples of stored XSS in major companies
- research techniques for exploiting race conditions or business logic flaws
- prepare for bug bounty hunting by reading disclosed reports

## When to choose
- you need real-world exploitation examples for a particular bug class
- you are a bug bounty hunter looking for reference material during hunting
- you want to learn offensive security through disclosed write-ups

## When to avoid
- you need a scanning or exploitation tool rather than reading material
- you want structured courses or tutorials rather than links to blog posts

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, documentation, developer-tools
- domain: security, penetration-testing, tutorials, awesome-lists
- platform: -
- tags: bug-bounty, write-ups, vulnerability-research, curated-list, offensive-security, web-server
