⚠️ All information discussed in this article is only meant for educational and ethical vulnerability research purposes. Every source and program shared here is publicly available information which thereby does not violate any policy

In 2025, I demonstrated many other tips & tricks that can be helpful for beginners to find less crowded programs.

Last week I found more cool ways! Let me show them as well🤘

Well this is also 3rd party, but now the list is quite extensive😎

1️⃣ Builtwith Trends

👉 trends.builtwith.com/websitelist/HackerOne

Advantage of this source

Some are already well known public programs, but again some are only available on the customer's website through an embedded form.

Kindly don't spam the programs with P4/P5, they are mostly interested in P1/P2

These programs are invite only and only visible to invited hackers on hackerone, but if you know the vendor's website, in one of their security/vulnerability disclosure policy pages, they will mention like, any vulnerability if you find report to xyz email and get the invite even if you were directly not invited.

So why am I sharing this ?

• Because in their website, they have publicly mentioned this detail, so now it is no longer a private info.
• Well mentioning it in the policy page is good, but this also attracts b(e)g hunters who just got a hit with a completely automated tool and AI generated report , now searching for bounty without understanding what is the impact of the vulnerability🫠
• Who is this for then ? You report good quality vulnerabilities, but keep getting duplicates even with business logic and BAC bugs because now everyone knows what to hunt for, as a result 100+ folks doing the same thing. So this can be a good opportunity to rise this year if you don't like completely self-hosted programs as it can't be disclosed or added to resume most of the time due to NDA.

2️⃣ Wappalyzer

👉 wappalyzer.com/technologies/security/bugcrowd/

Again directly you won't the private ones, need to filter yourself one by one the programs which aren't public available or maybe invite only or embedded form based.

3️⃣ Woorank INDEX

👉 index.woorank.com/en/reviews?technologies=bugcrowd

Pick 2–3 good programs max, and hunt on them throughout the year. Good luck 👌
