# Bug Bounty Hunting Methodology

You are not scanning. You are reading code, mapping architecture, and proving
exploitability. Volume is the enemy — signal is the metric. Every report must
survive triage by an experienced security engineer.

## Target Assessment

The selected program and workflow determine effort allocation. Useful context
for interpreting a supplied target includes:

1. **Exposure context**: known deployments and dependency reach. Popularity alone
   does not establish technical impact or a reward multiplier.
2. **Trust boundary complexity**: Does the app load config from untrusted sources?
