Bug Bounty Hunting & Web Security Testing 2026: Hack Real Apps, Master OWASP Top 10 & Burp Suite From Zero to Pro

About This Course

Stop reading about bugs. Start finding them.

Bug bounty hunting is one of the highest-leverage careers in modern tech — flexible hours, remote-by-default, and uncapped earning for hunters who actually know what they are doing. This bootcamp is built around one promise: by the end, you will be able to walk into a real bug bounty program, map its attack surface, and submit findings that get paid.

No fluff. No padded slides. Ninety-seven hands-on lessons, twenty-three focused sections, and over eleven hours of practical content — every minute of it built around a real lab you can replicate on your own machine.

What you will actually be able to do

By the end of this course you will:

  • Map any web application's attack surface the way top hunters do — subdomains, JavaScript bundles, hidden endpoints, parameters and historical URLs.
  • Find and exploit every class of bug in the OWASP Top 10 — broken access control, injection, XSS, SSRF, XXE, CSRF, OAuth flaws and more.
  • Bypass real-world defences — blocklists, allowlists, WAFs, CSP, sanitisers and rate-limiters.
  • Operate Burp Suite like a professional — Proxy, Repeater, Intruder, Collaborator, Decoder, Comparer and custom match-and-replace rules.
  • Write reports that get paid — clear repro steps, calibrated severity, business-impact framing and concrete fixes.

What makes this bootcamp different

Most security courses teach a vulnerability, show one example, and move on. This one teaches you the hunter mentality — the loop of mapping assumptions, violating them one at a time and escalating findings into chained exploits. Every section ends with a checklist you can run on a live target tomorrow.

The course also includes a two-hour live bug hunt against an original lab application, where you watch a complete end-to-end pentest and then replicate it. That single section alone is worth the price of the entire course — it shows you how a real engagement actually flows, from first recon command to final report.

Who this is for

  • Aspiring bug bounty hunters who want a real foundation, not a list of payloads.
  • Web developers who want to ship secure code instead of patching CVEs later.
  • DevSecOps engineers building secure CI/CD pipelines and reviewing third-party code.
  • Tech leads and founders who need to evaluate their own attack surface.
  • Students preparing for OSCP, BSCP, eWPT or CEH certifications.

What you will not need

Zero prior knowledge of hacking, programming, or networking is required. If you can use a terminal and a web browser, you can take this course. Everything else — HTTP, HTML, JavaScript basics, XML, cookies, headers — is taught from first principles, but always in the service of bug hunting.

A word on ethics

You will only test systems you own or have explicit written permission to test. Every example in this course is built around an original, licensed lab. Submitting findings to public bug bounty programs is encouraged; testing anything else is illegal in most jurisdictions, and we cover the boundaries clearly in the first section.

Welcome to the most practical, hands-on bug bounty course on the internet. Let's go find some bugs.
