Unveiling Admin Panels: A Bug Bounty Hunter’s Guide

In the world of bug bounty hunting, uncovering admin panels can be a goldmine for discovering vulnerabilities. By utilizing specific search techniques and specialized tools, bounty hunters can efficiently locate these valuable targets. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to find admin panels using Google dorks, HTTPX, and specialized tools.

Google Dorks: Google dorks are specific search strings used to narrow down search results. Here are some effective Google dorks for finding admin panels:

site:target.com inurl:admin | administrator | adm | login | l0gin | wp-loginintitle:"login" "admin" site:target.comintitle:"index of / admin" site:target.cominurl:admin intitle:admin intext:admin

Utilizing HTTPX and Wordlists: Combining HTTPX with carefully crafted wordlists can streamline the process of discovering admin panels. Here’s a sample command using HTTPX:

httpx -l hosts.txt -paths /root/admin-login.txt -threads 100 -random-agent -x GET, POST -tech-detect -status-code -follow-redirects -title -content-length

Leveraging Specialized Tools: Several specialized tools are designed specifically for finding admin panels. Some notable ones include:

Exploiting Search Engines: Search engines like Shodan, Fofa, ZoomEye, and Censys provide databases of websites and metadata. By using specific search operators, admin panels can be uncovered effectively. Here are some examples:

Shodan dorks: ssl.cert.subject.cn:"company.com" http.title:"admin"Fofa dorks: cert="company.com" && title="admin"ZoomEye dorks: ssl:company.com + title:"admin"Censys dorks: (services.tls.certificates.leaf_data.issuer.common_name:company.com) AND services.http.response.html_title:admin

Remember, these techniques should only be applied with consent and for authorized bug bounty programs. Stay ethical, stay secure, and happy hunting!
