TBHM Live - Course Info

I am thrilled to introduce you to The Bug Hunter's Methodology LIVE, my masterclass designed for aspiring and seasoned offensive security professionals, including web application security testers, red teamers, and bug bounty hunters.

The Bug Hunter's Methodology (TBHM) is a three-day, paid, virtual training that aims to equip you with the latest tools, techniques, and strategies, plus provide a data-driven methodology on how and where to search for vulnerabilities that are currently common in the wild.

Unlike other courses, TBHM Live is not an A-Z or beginner-oriented course. True to the spirit of my public TBHM talks, my emphasis is on expert tips, time-saving tricks, practical Q&As, automation strategies, vetted resources, and engagement via the dedicated community on Discord.

Here are the details for the upcoming masterclass:

• October 2nd 9am-5:30pm MST (30 minute lunch break)
• October 3rd 9am-5:30pm MST (30 minute lunch break)
• October 4th 10am-5:30pm MST (30 minute lunch break)

Each module will be driven live, using real-time targets where possible. You'll have access to all source material to refer back to after the training. Plus, a video recording of the class will be available for all participants shortly after the course concludes.

TBHM Live is also much more than just a course. I am dedicated to fostering a vibrant and supportive community for our learners. In keeping with this commitment, I will maintain a Discord channel for ongoing support, including resume guidance and job placement assistance.

Join us for TBHM Live and get ready to supercharge your skills, refine your strategies, and join an active community of like-minded professionals.

I look forward to seeing you in the class!

Attendees should have:

Burp Suite (PRO preferably), VM or equivalent access to *nix command line.

Pre-requisites for attendees: General Web application and network security testing knowledge required. Some topics will assume some knowledge of OWASP Top Ten type vulnerabilities and previous experience.

A full list of tools needed will be posted in the class discord before class.

**Students who have previously taken the course**

Having had the privilege to lead the course numerous times now, it becomes evident that each session cultivates unique queries, responses, and input from students. The content is also cutting edge, so each cohort has new information.This diversity and rapid channge presents a wonderful opportunity for thought-provoking discussions on various tools, techniques, and invaluable teachings. Every time the class is conducted, there's a fresh lesson to be learned. For former participants who have previously purchased this course, I extend an invitation to join any future sessions at a cost of $100 USD. Please feel free to reach out to me on the class discord channel to further discuss this opportunity.
