You really don't need BurpSuite Pro as a beginner. The community edition does almost everything you'd want to do. The only thing I've felt bad is not being able to save a project.
2. Fetch all subdomains
-> Amass
Quick Tip: Search with config file. Do more than just amass enum -d target.com
Pipe your output after fetching URLs to httpx and probe the live domains
4. Port Scanner
-> Naabu
Nmap is great, but Naabu is better.
5. DNS Resolver
-> Dnsx
For wordlist, I'll try to create one of my own after inserting common words from the webpages. In unbearable circumstances, I use the best dns wordlist from assetnote.
6. Content Discovery/Fuzzing
-> Ffuf
Again, I'll curate my own wordlist and mix it with directory-list-2.3-medium.txt from gobuster.
7. Fingerprinting
-> Wappalyzer
Definitely comes handy sometimes. Would recommend it.
8. Spidering & Fetch Parameters
-> xnLinkFinder
You have to give it to this tool. The results have been pretty wonderful recently and the probing time is insanely fast.
I mostly use only these tools on a regular basis but under certain circumstances I'll intend to use other tools in the market for that specific purpose.
What major tool do you think I'm missing out?
// PS: I don't do vulnerability scanning, so please don't suggest Nuclei xD
That's a wrap!

Are you a reader with a lot of books in your room?
How many times have you been asked “Wow, you’ve got so many books. How many of them have you actually read?”

If either of the above describes you, you should definitely checkout my article on the importance of unread books.
In the last thread, we looked at what DNS is, the types of DNS servers and more. This series has a lot of context to the previous thread so if you missed the earlier part, kindly check below:
99% of the bug bounty hunters should be using BurpSuite. You can use PoxyProxy to setup your BurpSuite proxy and can toggle the switch within a single click.
2. Wappalyzer
Wappalyzer helps you identify the different web technologies used in a web application. This is very handy and can be used for recon purposes.
It is especially hard for beginners to choose the right program to hunt on.
Over the years, I have learnt enough from my personal experience what program to choose and what not to, especially if you're just starting out.
Here's a thread on choosing the right bug bounty program.
1. Developing the hunter mindset is hard at the very start and personally I feel it's better to go for the the low-hanging fruits. To catch low-hanging fruits, you should pick a target that experts would go past.
2. Firstly, go for VDPs. VDPs / unpaid programs are ignored by experienced hunters and you can use these to get some experience and fame. You might also get private invites after building some fame.
