Whenever someone says to do something that’s directly involved with a sponsor, it’s almost never the best option.
Ngl too dude, this is the first video I’m watching of yours and I’m kinda put off by the advertising. More subtlety goes a long way, just my 2 cents.

[@alanb4589]

Super solid video after that tho :) 🙏

[@AmyMichelle1115]

PLEASE RESPOND.........Do you have a link that you can receive messages that are not public...this isn't for anything to try to do anything against you or anything...I actually have a question about something specific I need help with and it is very urgent I get help and I don't know who to ask....maybe you could find it in your heart to help for an honestly noble cause......PLEASE RESPOND.... THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

I'm 11 months into web app hacking (from zero) and I would have done it like this:
0) Don't worry about the money - It will happen, so don't quit your day job, do this because you are passionate about it.
1) Learn the Fundamentals - Networking, Linux, WebApps, Source Control, Code Review, basic/easy attack types (XSS, IDOR, Access Controls). Should take you a couple months to get a solid foundation.
2) Hack to Learn - Once you know fundamentals, 80% of your time should be hacking XSS, IDOR, Access Controls. Any questions that arise should be answered with the remaining 20% which is research which should be primarily from reputable books on the subject.
3) Tooling / Automation - Once you are finding some bugs (informative and dups count) you should start considering taking 10% from hacking time to automate your work flows. This has exponential returns.
From here it's just Hack (70%), Research (20%), Refine (10%), Repeat.

[@NahamSec]

I love this! I may incorporate this in a video :)

[@johnuII]

what do you mean by "learn webapps"? Is it like making a RESTful app?

[@prodge64]

Any tips on where to learn the fundamentals? I know, there's boatloads of info out there, but it's mostly scattered, apart from certs. I love certs, but they're currently prohibitively expensive for me. Some tips on books would be great as well. I really want to learn and dig deep but so far I've mostly only managed to spin my wheels and not getting much traction. And thanks for sharing, this is inspiring! (As is the video, of course :))
