A categorized collection of bug bounty write-ups organized by vulnerability type for security researchers.
Bug Bounty Reference is a curated repository of publicly disclosed bug bounty reports, organized by vulnerability type. It serves as a practical reference for security researchers and bug bounty hunters to study real-world exploitation techniques and gain insights during security assessments. The project bridges the gap between vulnerability theory and practical exploitation by providing categorized, detailed write-ups from major platforms.
Security researchers, bug bounty hunters, and penetration testers who need to understand how specific vulnerabilities are exploited in real-world scenarios on platforms like Google, Facebook, Uber, and Yahoo.
Developers choose this over alternatives because it offers a comprehensive, organized collection of real-world bug bounty write-ups categorized by vulnerability type, making it easier to find relevant exploitation techniques. Its community-driven approach with pull requests ensures the repository stays updated with new reports and advanced vulnerabilities.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Reports are grouped by vulnerability type like XSS and SQLi, making it easy to find relevant exploitation techniques from platforms such as Google and Facebook, as shown in the detailed section lists in the README.
Accepts pull requests to add new reports, ensuring the collection grows with community contributions, directly mentioned in the README with 'feel free to submit pull request.'
Covers from common issues like brute force to advanced flaws like OAuth bypasses and business logic errors, providing a wide range of learning materials across multiple categories listed.
Serves as a reference for understanding how vulnerabilities are exploited in real-world scenarios, bridging theory and practice, as emphasized in the introduction for bug bounty hunters.
The project is essentially a list of external links with minimal curation; it doesn't provide original analysis or summaries, relying entirely on third-party content, which limits added value.
Many links point to personal blogs or older reports that might become inaccessible over time, reducing the repository's long-term utility, as there's no mechanism to check or update broken links.
As a static markdown file, it lacks search functionality or advanced filtering, making it cumbersome to navigate for specific needs, evident from the long, unstructured lists in the README.
