Welcome to Lecture 2 of our Bug Bounty Hunting course, where we'll dive into the practical aspect of bug hunting with our Bug Hunting Labs Setup session. In this hands-on session, we'll guide you through the process of setting up your own bug hunting environment, equipping you with the tools and resources needed to conduct effective bug bounty hunts.

Setting up your bug hunting lab is crucial for honing your skills and gaining practical experience in identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced bug hunter, having a dedicated environment to practice and experiment is essential for success in the field of cybersecurity.

During this session, we'll cover everything you need to know to set up your bug hunting lab, including:

1. Choosing the right operating system and software: We'll discuss the pros and cons of different operating systems and software tools commonly used in bug hunting, helping you select the best options for your lab setup.

2. Configuring virtualization software: Virtualization software allows you to create and manage virtual machines, enabling you to simulate various network environments for testing purposes. We'll walk you through the process of installing and configuring popular virtualization software such as VirtualBox or VMware.

3. Installing vulnerable applications and platforms: To effectively practice bug hunting, you'll need access to vulnerable applications and platforms that you can target for testing. We'll show you how to set up vulnerable web applications, mobile apps, and other software environments in your lab.

4. Setting up monitoring and logging tools: Monitoring and logging tools are essential for tracking your bug hunting activities and analyzing the results of your tests. We'll introduce you to a range of monitoring and logging tools that you can use to enhance your bug hunting capabilities.

By the end of this session, you'll have a fully functional bug hunting lab environment ready to use for your bug bounty hunts. So, roll up your sleeves, and let's get started on building the foundation for your bug hunting journey!
