Master nuclei automation for pen testing and bug bounty with a lab setup, custom templates, workflows, and Burp Suite integration to boost efficiency.
Learn to run nuclei from the terminal, use the help flags and templates, and perform targeted scans with -u, then interpret findings like PHP 5.6.40 and Engine X 1.99.0.
Learn to apply nuclei filters for targeted scans by tags, severity, and author, then run specific templates on a target and review loaded results.
Create and customize a nuclei configuration file to set targets and templates that run automatically during scans. Edit the hidden .config/nuclei directory to apply targets, templates, workflows, and severity filters.
Learn to write and validate a nuclei template by building the info block with id, name, author, severity, tags, description, and reference for automated bug bounty testing.
Learn how the nuclei body template defines the request body in key-value form, reuse cookies, and craft a payload like search=apple against a base URL.
Explore unsafe HTTP raw requests in nuclei, enabling full control and customization to send malformed requests for bug bounty targets, enabling detection of request smuggling and related vulnerabilities.
Craft a simple get based matcher in nuclei with a quick yaml template to match the word apple in the body and verify a 200 status.
Explore a simple post-based header matcher template that searches for a specific value in the header and a body key, verifies a 200 status, and demonstrates practical matching.
Explore nuclei fuzzing with cluster bomb technique to test default usernames and passwords across endpoints using payloads from word lists and custom templates.
Fuzz web authentication using Pitchfork by iterating usernames and passwords from files in parallel against a post request, using a Pitchfork template and proxy monitoring to identify valid credentials.
Learn the battering ram fuzzing technique in Nuclei, using a single payload from a word list to fill a password parameter in a post request and achieve 200 status.
Master nuclei file based templates to search and match content inside files using file block, extensions, and word or regex matchers, with size limits and no recursive options.
Learn how file extractors in Nuclei match words and extract content, using regex to reveal API keys and other secrets from files.
Welcome to The Mastering Nuclei with Automation for Pentesting and Bug Bounty course. This course opens the doors to those wanting to be ahead in a penetration testing or bug bounty career. This course will prepare learners to take their information security career journey to the next level with exclusive first content to be on top and avoid duplicates. This course covers web application attacks and how to earn bug bounties. There is no prerequisite of prior hacking knowledge, and you will be able to perform web attacks, hunt bugs on live websites, and secure them.
This course is not like other hacking or penetration testing courses with outdated manual techniques. It enables learners to automate Bug Bounties and increases efficiency by teaching automation and industry-oriented techniques.
This course is designed to ensure that the latest content reaches you on time. It will be full of ready-to-use private YAML templates and custom automation scripts to help students achieve bounties.
You will learn about the Nuclei tool, how to write custom templates, and gain access to templates that are not publicly available.
This course is divided into multiple sections, each covering how to hunt, exploit, and mitigate a vulnerability in an ethical manner.
Detailed Breakdown of Course Content
Each section begins with the fundamental principles of how the attack works, exploitation, and how to write a professional report.
Introduction – This section introduces the course, roadmap, and how to get the most out of it.
All About Nuclei – This chapter provides a guide to Nuclei, starting from a beginner's perspective. It explains the limitations of grep and regex tools, the motivation behind using Nuclei, and its foundational workings. Students will learn how to write simple and effective templates for identifying vulnerabilities.
Nuclei Template Writing: Simple GET-based Matcher – This section covers the basics of Nuclei template writing using a GET request. Students will learn how to create a GET-based YAML template to match the output using Nuclei Vulnerability Scanner. It also explains how to match responses in the body and headers of HTTP requests.
Nuclei Template Writing: Simple POST-based Matcher – Similar to the previous section, this covers POST requests. Students will learn how to write POST-based YAML templates to identify vulnerabilities and understand how to match output in HTTP request bodies and headers.
Nuclei New YAML Templates – This section contains exclusive Nuclei templates that are not available in the community repository. Each template will be broken down to explain how vulnerabilities are exploited, internal workings, endpoints, and other parameters. This helps students avoid duplicates and improve the chances of reporting valid vulnerabilities.
After identifying a vulnerability, students will learn how to exploit it for maximum severity and report it professionally.
This course also covers how to start a bug hunting journey on well-known platforms like Bugcrowd, HackerOne, and Open Bug Bounty.
Additionally, students will learn how to hunt and report vulnerabilities to NCIIPC (Government of India), private companies, and responsible disclosure programs.
With this course, you get 24/7 support, so if you have any questions, you can post them in the Q&A section, and we will respond as soon as possible.
Notes
This course is created for educational purposes only. All attacks demonstrated have been ethically reported and fixed.
Testing any website that does not have a Responsible Disclosure Policy is unethical and against the law. The author does not hold any responsibility.
