Bug bounty hunting is not just about knowing vulnerabilities - it’s about workflow efficiency, speed, and clarity.
If you’re a bug bounty hunter or security researcher, you already know the pain:
- Too many tools
- Too many terminals
- Too many browser tabs
- Notes scattered everywhere
Over time, this chaos slows down recon, testing, and reporting.
That frustration is exactly what led me to build BugBoard.
🔍 What is BugBoard?
BugBoard is an open-source, web-based bug hunter dashboard designed to help security researchers and bug bounty hunters find vulnerabilities faster by bringing tools, automation, and structured workflows into one clean interface.
Instead of manually running dozens of commands and switching contexts, BugBoard acts as a single control panel for reconnaissance, scanning, and vulnerability testing.

💡 Why BugBoard Exists
During real-world bug bounty work, I noticed a pattern:
- Recon tools are powerful but fragmented
- Beginners struggle to understand which tool to use and when
- Experienced hunters waste time repeating the same steps
BugBoard solves this by:
- Organizing tools by vulnerability category
- Explaining what each tool does directly in the UI
- Providing a guided yet flexible workflow
The goal is simple:
Spend less time managing tools and more time finding bugs.
🖥️ BugBoard Frontpage Overview
When you open BugBoard, you’re greeted with a clean and intuitive dashboard:
- A target input field where you enter the domain
- Category-based navigation tabs
- Tool-specific documentation built directly into the interface
Each tool page doesn’t just run a command — it explains:
- What the tool does
- Why it’s useful
- When to use it during a bug bounty workflow
This makes BugBoard extremely beginner-friendly while still powerful for advanced users.
🧭 Structured Testing Categories
BugBoard organizes security testing into logical categories, inspired by real pentesting and bug bounty methodologies:
- Wildcard & Domain Recon
- Information Gathering
- Configuration Issues
- Authentication & Authorization
- Session Management
- Validation & Input Handling
- Business Logic
- Cryptography
- DoS & Risk Functionality
- HTML5 & Modern Web Issues
This structure helps hunters follow a methodical approach instead of random testing.
🔧 Integrated Recon & Security Tools
One of BugBoard’s biggest strengths is its tool integration philosophy.
Instead of reinventing the wheel, BugBoard integrates well-known and trusted tools such as:
- amass – Subdomain enumeration & attack surface mapping
- subfinder – Fast passive subdomain discovery
- assetfinder – Asset discovery
- dnsgen / massdns – DNS permutation & resolution
- httpx / httprobe – HTTP service discovery
- gau / waybackurls – Historical endpoint discovery
- hakrawler / katana – Crawling
- nuclei – Template-based vulnerability scanning
- nikto – Web server misconfiguration checks
- sslscan / sslx – TLS & SSL analysis
- subjack – Subdomain takeover detection
Each tool is placed where it logically belongs in the testing lifecycle.
📘 Example: amass Tool Inside BugBoard
Inside BugBoard, tools like amass are not just buttons.
The dashboard explains:
- What amass is
- What problems it solves
- Passive vs active enumeration
- Common use cases in bug bounty
This turns BugBoard into both a working tool and a learning platform.
New researchers learn why they are running something — not just how.
🤖 Automation Without Losing Control
Automation is powerful — but blind automation can miss context.
BugBoard takes a controlled automation approach:
- Automates repetitive tasks
- Keeps results visible and understandable
- Allows manual testing at every stage
You decide when to:
- Scan
- Enumerate
- Dig deeper
BugBoard assists — it doesn’t replace human thinking.
🖥️ Embedded Terminal Experience
BugBoard includes an embedded terminal interface, allowing users to:
- Run custom commands
- Chain tools together
- Experiment without leaving the dashboard
This is especially useful for advanced hunters who already have their own workflows but want a centralized UI.

🧠 Final Thoughts
Bug bounty success is not just about skill — it’s about systems.
BugBoard is my attempt to build a system that:
- Reduces noise
- Improves focus
- Helps hunters think clearly
If BugBoard helps you find even one bug faster — it has done its job.
Happy hunting 🐞💻
