Bug Bounty

Currently you are using traditional methods to hunt bugs but the increasing competition makes it hard to get a single valid Bug. So you seems frustrated and angry and blaming yourself for not having enough skills. So don’t worry about these things because I am here to offer you a solution to your problem :

You need to Start integrating Artificial Intelligence LLM Modules during the hunt for bugs.

Yes, You are reading it correctly here , but you are not the only person thinking about that way, ‘some’ may have already implemented it and ‘some’ are experimenting with it but not ‘EVERYONE’ and here is your Positive Point.

what can you achieve by reading this?

You are able to evolve the methods that used by you and increase the efficiency of hunting bugs which puts you at the Top of Competition.

So How Can You Do It?

So I have done some research regarding this and I have found some interesting LLMs for making your hunt easy.

The best advantage is that when you need advice regarding some unknown issue and can’t solve it because of your lack of knowledge then you can ask it directly rather than posting on X and waiting for a reply.

Following are the AI Models that are Helpful :

1. GPT-4 / ChatGPT (OpenAI)

Use Case: General purpose language understanding and generation. Helpful for writing and understanding exploit code, summarizing large text files, automating reconnaissance tasks, and generating reports.

Strengths: Excellent at understanding context and providing explanations. Can generate code, payloads, and summarize findings.

Limitations: Limited to generating text and requires correct prompts to avoid false positives or irrelevant responses.

2. SecBERT and CodeBERT (Hugging Face)

Use Case: Security-specific and code-specific NLP models that help with code analysis, vulnerability detection, and language understanding related to security.

Strengths: Trained on large code and security datasets, making them effective for identifying vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns within code snippets.

Limitations: Often limited to specific languages or tasks (e.g., CodeBERT is more code-focused and may miss complex vulnerabilities).

3. CAPE (Context-aware Policy Enforcement)

Use Case: Model designed to detect security policy violations within code, useful for spotting access control issues or sensitive data exposure.

Strengths: Effective for analyzing large codebases for policy violations, making it great for bug bounty hunters focusing on internal code audits.

Limitations: Primarily works best on pre-defined policies; limited flexibility outside of its specific use cases.

4. MalBERT and VulBERTa (Hugging Face)

Use Case: Security-specific NLP models that can identify malicious code or vulnerabilities in programming languages.

Strengths: Effective in flagging potentially malicious patterns, especially useful in bug bounty or red team activities.

Limitations: Limited to detecting patterns and may miss complex, contextual vulnerabilities.

5. DeepExploit (AI-based Penetration Testing)

Use Case: An AI-driven penetration testing tool that automates the exploitation process and helps discover vulnerabilities in various systems.

Strengths: Uses deep reinforcement learning to perform penetration tests, supporting CVE and common exploits.

Limitations: Requires significant setup, and results may vary depending on target security measures.

6. Microsoft's Security Copilot

Use Case: Combines Microsoft's security expertise with OpenAI's language models, specifically tailored for cybersecurity applications like threat intelligence and vulnerability assessment.

Strengths: Tailored specifically for security use cases and integrates well with Microsoft’s security suite.

Limitations: Currently available only to Microsoft enterprise customers.

7. AutoRecon (Automated Reconnaissance)

Use Case: Automates the initial stages of bug bounty recon, scanning targets for open ports, subdomains, and services.

Strengths: Excellent for getting a broad overview of attack surfaces, particularly useful for larger targets.

Limitations: Only for recon; requires other tools to analyze or exploit vulnerabilities.

8. AI-Enhanced Vulnerability Scanners (e.g., Burp Suite with ML Plugins)

Use Case: Scanners like Burp Suite are enhanced with machine learning plugins to improve vulnerability detection, identifying potential flaws such as XSS or SQL injection.

Strengths: Provides more accurate and tailored results, prioritizing vulnerabilities based on potential impact.

Limitations: Dependent on plugin quality and data; often used as part of a broader toolset.

9. Custom BERT Models for Log Analysis

Use Case: Detect anomalies in logs, useful for analyzing network traffic or application logs in a bug bounty context.

Strengths: Effective at spotting suspicious patterns in unstructured data, which can indicate potential exploitation attempts.

Limitations: Requires substantial data for training and may need fine-tuning.

10. Pentest GPT

It is an emerging tool designed to assist penetration testers by leveraging the power of language models to streamline and enhance the penetration testing process. While it’s not an official tool by OpenAI or other well-known cybersecurity vendors, the concept revolves around using advanced AI to automate, assist, and improve various aspects of penetration testing.

These are the Models that are helpful to you. So I offer you guaranteed Best of luck in Finding Vulnerabilities….
