Why This Blog Series Exists

Bug bounty content is everywhere these days — but finding a real guide is surprisingly difficult. Most tutorials just repeat the same surface-level concepts. No one shares their full kill chain, no one walks you through how to actually think when breaking into a system.

What you usually get is: some flashy videos, a terminal window doing “something,” and a few vague comments. They show you what they did — but not how they did it.

That’s where I come in.

This blog series is for people who don’t just want to run tools — they want to understand what’s going on behind the scenes. Whether you're a beginner or someone trying to level up your methodology, I’ll break things down step by step. Not just the how, but also the why.

Who Am I?

I’m Rasperon, a bug hunter and pentester who has worked with several startups across different industries. I’ve ranked first in TryHackMe in Azerbaijan multiple times, often under different accounts — not to chase clout, but to sharpen methodology.

Before diving into security, I explored electronics, backend development, and systems engineering. That background helps me think like an engineer:

What’s the architecture under this system? What assumptions did the developer make? What breaks if I push just hard enough?

That mindset is my strongest weapon — and I’ll show you how to build it too.

What You'll Learn in This Series

This isn’t just a list of tools or payloads. It’s a blueprint for how to:

  • Build your recon stack from scratch
  • Think like a developer and an attacker
  • Analyze systems at different levels (network, logic, architecture)
  • Know which concepts to learn, in which order, and at what depth

Each post will clearly outline:

  • What you need to know
  • Which resources to trust (and which ones to skip)
  • Real-world workflows, tools, and tactics

Whether you're just starting or already hunting, this series is built to upgrade the way you approach targets — from curiosity to critical thinking to exploitation.

Let’s change the way bug bounty is taught.
