Bug Bounty methodology can be split into 2 main categories:

1. Reconnaissance: discovering the assets of our target (IP, subdomains, services, routes, parameters, logic, tokens, API, code, etc.). Most important part.
2. Exploitation: trying to exploit the services that we discovered in the previous step. Without a very clear comprehension of those services, we’re going to lose our time.
