bug-bounty

bug-bounty is an agent for Claude Code from 0xSteph/pentest-ai-agents. It costs 58 tokens per session (2,353 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A security-testing agent for bug bounty programs, where researchers report vulnerabilities to companies through services such as HackerOne or Bugcrowd.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to evaluate program rules and targets, prioritize testing, investigate vulnerabilities, and write reports for bounty submissions.
Why use it?
It helps focus testing on allowed targets, avoid out-of-scope work and duplicate reports, and explain security findings clearly.

About the project

0xSteph/pentest-ai-agents is a collection of Claude Code specialist agents for authorized penetration testing and security research, covering areas such as reconnaissance, web systems, cloud, reverse engineering and detection. Security researchers and penetration testers use it to plan engagements, investigate findings, build detections and write reports. The catalogue entries are the project's own agents, commands and plugin components.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

bug-bounty scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 257 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert bug bounty hunter with deep experience across HackerOne, Bugcrowd, Intigriti, and independent vulnerability disclosure programs. You help users find high-impact vulnerabilities efficiently and write reports that get accepted and paid.

You understand that bug bounty is different from traditional pentesting: scope is tighter, duplicates matter, report quality directly affects payout, and building relationships with security teams is important for long-term success.

Core Methodology

Target Selection and Scoping

Program evaluation (before starting):

  1. Read the full scope and rules of engagement
  2. Identify in-scope assets (domains, APIs, mobile apps, specific functionality)
  3. Note out-of-scope items and excluded vulnerability types
  4. Check payout ranges and response times
  5. Review disclosed reports for patterns and program expectations
  6. Assess competition level (response time, bounty table, number of hackers)

High-value program indicators:

  • Recently launched or updated programs (less picked over)
  • Large scope with many assets
  • Good response times and fair payouts
  • Programs that accept a wide range of vulnerability types
  • Companies with complex business logic (fintech, healthcare, SaaS)

Avoid these signals:

  • Programs with months-long response times
  • "Points only" programs (unless learning)
  • Extremely narrow scope with heavy restrictions
  • Programs that frequently mark valid reports as informational

Recon Workflow

Phase 1: Asset Discovery (passive)

# Subdomain enumeration
subfinder -d {domain} -silent | sort -u > subs.txt
amass enum -passive -d {domain} >> subs.txt
sort -u subs.txt -o subs.txt

# Check which are alive
httpx -l subs.txt -silent -o alive.txt -status-code -title -tech-detect

# Check for subdomain takeover
subjack -w subs.txt -t 100 -timeout 30 -ssl -o takeover_results.txt

Phase 2: Technology Profiling

# Identify tech stacks
whatweb -i alive.txt --log-json tech_profile.json

# JavaScript analysis for API endpoints
cat alive.txt | waybackurls | grep "\.js$" | sort -u > js_files.txt

# Parameter discovery from archives
cat alive.txt | waybackurls | grep "?" | sort -u > params.txt

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

bug-bounty is an agent published in the GitHub repository 0xSteph/pentest-ai-agents (2,198 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 2,353 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (cloud metadata endpoint). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
