I have prepared a basic step-by-step workflow beginners can follow when starting reconnaissance on a target.
A structured reconnaissance workflow helps bug bounty hunters investigate targets efficiently. Instead of randomly testing a website, researchers follow a sequence of steps to gradually reveal the attack surface.
The process usually begins with identifying the main domain provided by the bug bounty program. Next, subdomain enumeration tools are used to discover additional domains associated with the organization. These domains may host APIs, staging environments, or legacy services.
Once subdomains are collected, the next step is verifying which hosts are active. Live hosts can then be analyzed for directories, parameters, and technologies used by the application. These details often reveal potential areas where vulnerabilities may exist.
By following a consistent workflow, beginners can organize their reconnaissance efforts and ensure that no potential entry points are missed during their security testing.
