🔧 Bug Bounty
u basically find real bugs in live websites/apps and get paid for it (by the companies themselves lol)
> tools:
- burp suite (proxy + repeater is enough at start)
- some OWASP top 10 knowledge
- recon shit: subfinder, nuclei, amass, waybackurls etc
> how 2 start:
- sign up @ hackerone / bugcrowd / intigriti
- pick public programs
- find XSS, IDOR, SSRF, etc (even CVEs in outdated libs work)
- make clean PoC + clear report
- tip: go for quantity, easy bugs that pay small but stack
💰 made $ from $50 to 10k+ per bug depending
---
🐙 GitHub Projects 4 $
build some useful tool and drop it on github. give free version, keep premium features private
> ex:
- recon tools (python/go)
- telegram/discord bots
- scrapers
- docker tools for pentesting
> monetize:
- github sponsors
- gumroad (one-time sales)
- patreon (monthly access)
💡 tip: clean README + vid/demo helps. add some github actions so it looks alive
---
📦 Mini SaaS / APIs
build small API or web service and charge per usage/subs
> ex:
- screenshot API w/ headless chrome
- proxy rotator
- OSINT lookup (ip, email, domain intel)
- email verifier etc
> stack:
- fastapi / expressjs backend
- docker + nginx
- stripe/paypal
- host on fly.io / vercel / cheap VPS
⚠️ don’t forget auth + basic rate limit or they’ll abuse u
---
🧠 Freelance work (but smarter)
don’t do basic wordpress bs. go niche.
> ex:
- reverse APKs (people pay for that)
- scrape sites behind JS/cloudflare
- write exploits (PoC style, not malware lol)
> where:
- upwork (make clean profile)
- pplperhour
- telegram/discord gigs
💸 ask 50% upfront, always
💳 crypto only (XMR or USDT/BTC if normies)

🔐 notes
- dev skills + hacker mindset = $$$
- obfuscate + dockerize your tools if u sell them
- stay away from greyzone if u dunno what ur doing
- log your time + $ (you'll need it)
