From Simple to Strategic: Identifying Overlooked Vulnerabilities in Complex Systems
In the realm of bug bounty hunting, many researchers initially target "low-hanging fruit." While this strategy can yield quick results, it often results in a high incidence of duplicate reports. Over time, a more sophisticated approach emerges: concentrating on either complex vulnerabilities or simple flaws concealed within intricate, less-explored areas.
This strategic shift involves trade-offs. In highly competitive programs, where numerous reports are submitted daily, even simple bugs can be rapidly discovered by others. However, overlooked edge cases—particularly those embedded in business logic—continue to offer valuable opportunities.
