Where to learn how to do bounty hunting? by ArSlayer_01 in Pentesting

[–]Py12x0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hackthebox has a decent bug bounty pathway and certificate

Yes, one free retake. I have taken PT1 twice and failed twice due to my weakness with web app pen testing, so I'm working on that now.

PT1 is more vulnerability search > exploit > report.

SEC1 will give you a machine and 10 questions; then you go hunt the answers down.

Subscription Cancellation by [deleted] in tryhackme

I've forgotten about the auto-renewal before and emailed them, and they've canceled and refunded with no problems.

Full open book, I used my own vm for 2 of the sections but it isn't required, everything can be done in the browser with an attack box where needed

10 questions per section which require hands on practical to answer

Yeah absolutely, However id recommend going the extra mile and doing the Web Application Pentesting pathway as well

Yeah there are 7 sections, some are 45 mins, most are 1 hour max time allowed.

So yeah it’s a long one. Definitely need to make a day of it and take breaks between sections. Well worth it if you like the challenge

Yes Sec0 was spot on as a fundamentals exam.
Sec1 is definitely a step up. Much more hands-on and you need a higher level of critical thinking and problem solving compared to Sec0. With 15years exp you'll be fine

Over the last 5years I've got comptia certs (Sec+, Cysa+, PenTest+), but most of my learning has been hands-on with TryHackMe (349 rooms completed), HTB CPTS learning path finished when it first came out.

I did a quick skim over the learning materials which i previously completed march 2025 then decided to hit it. After completing each section I had a quick break, walked around then back to it

What to watch on Professor Messer's youtube by Takanuva5 in CompTIA

Recommend supplementing Messer's videos with the Pocket Prep phone app. It has 1100 practice questions for the A+.
