Advanced Bug Bounty Recon Using Katana, Subfinder, httpx & Mantra: In this video, you will learn an advanced, real-world Bug Bounty Recon workflow using some of the most powerful open-source tools available today: Subfinder, httpx, Katana, and Mantra. Reconnaissance is the foundation of successful bug bounty hunting, and this tutorial shows how professional researchers discover hidden assets, crawl endpoints, and extract leaked secrets efficiently. After identifying live assets, we move into Katana, a modern web crawler designed for bug bounty hunters. Katana helps uncover hidden endpoints, URLs, parameters, JavaScript files, APIs, and internal paths that are often missed during manual testing. We demonstrate how to crawl deeply, handle JavaScript parsing, and collect high-value URLs for further analysis. Finally, we use Mantra, a powerful secrets detection tool, to scan JavaScript files and endpoints for exposed API keys, tokens, credentials, and sensitive secrets. Many critical bug bounty findings come from leaked secrets in frontend files, and Mantra automates this process at scale. This video demonstrates how to chain these tools together into a single, efficient recon pipeline, similar to workflows used by top bug bounty hunters. You will learn how to automate reconnaissance, reduce noise, and focus on high-impact targets that lead to valid reports and bounties. #What you will learn in this video: #Advanced bug bounty reconnaissance methodology #Subdomain enumeration using Subfinder #Live host detection and filtering with httpx #Deep URL and endpoint discovery using Katana #JavaScript secrets and API key detection with Mantra #Building an automated bug bounty recon workflow #Increasing attack surface for higher bounty success Who this video is for: #Bug bounty hunters (beginner to advanced) #Penetration testers and red teamers #Cybersecurity students and ethical hackers #Anyone interested in web security and reconnaissance Tools covered: #Subfinder – Subdomain enumeration #httpx – HTTP probing and service discovery #Katana – Fast web crawling and endpoint discovery #Mantra – API key and secret detection This tutorial focuses on ethical hacking and legal bug bounty programs only.
