## What it is
A curated collection of tips, tricks, tools, and notes for web application security assessments and bug bounty hunting, maintained by Jason Haddix. It accompanies his well-known 'Bug Hunter's Methodology' conference talks and organizes resources by hacking phases like reconnaissance, mapping, and tactical fuzzing.

## Use cases
- learning web application security from scratch
- finding bug bounty recon methodology and tools
- preparing for a web app penetration test
- looking up XSS and SQLi fuzzing techniques
- finding learning resources and content creators for ethical hacking
- building a bug hunting workflow

## When to choose
- you want a curated, opinionated starting point for bug bounty hunting
- you need a structured methodology covering recon through exploitation
- you prefer learning from conference-tested material by a known practitioner

## When to avoid
- you need runnable software or tooling rather than notes and links
- you require an actively updated resource with recent commits
- you need formal documentation or a license-governed codebase

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing, developer-tools
- domain: security, penetration-testing, web-development
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: bug-bounty, web-security, reconnaissance, vulnerability-assessment, notes, awesome-list
