Bug Bounty Training in Nepal
Build a career in cybersecurity with Skill Shikshya's Bug Bounty Training Course in Nepal, a practical, 60-hour program covering web application security, ethical hacking, and professional bug bounty hunting from scratch. Bug bounty programmes pay researchers real money to find security vulnerabilities in the systems of companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and thousands of others before malicious hackers do. In 2026, HackerOne alone has paid out over $300 million in bounties to researchers worldwide and Nepal's cybersecurity talent is increasingly competitive in this space. The skills that get you paid on bug bounty platforms are the same skills that open doors to penetration testing roles, security engineering positions, and freelance security consulting, both in Kathmandu and internationally. This course takes you from zero to your first valid bug bounty report. You will learn web application security fundamentals, hands-on vulnerability testing using Burp Suite and industry-standard tools, recon methodology, OWASP vulnerability classes, API security testing, automation, and professional reporting, all applied against real lab environments and in-scope bug bounty targets.

Learn Bug Bounty Hunting with Skill Shikshya
Skill Shikshya's Bug Bounty Training is one of the most comprehensive practical security training programs in Kathmandu, designed for students, developers, IT professionals, and cybersecurity beginners who want to enter the bug bounty space, build web application security skills, and get paid for finding real vulnerabilities in real systems.
Bug bounty hunting is one of the few career paths where a skilled individual in Nepal can compete directly with researchers anywhere in the world, on the same platforms, for the same rewards, from their own laptop. HackerOne, Bugcrowd, Intigriti, and YesWeHack run programmes for hundreds of companies including Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and major banks. A single critical vulnerability report can pay more than a month's salary. Consistent hunters build freelance income, security careers, and international reputations.
Nepal's demand for cybersecurity professionals is growing fast too. Banks, fintech companies, government agencies, and Nepal's expanding tech sector are all hiring for penetration testing, security auditing, and web application security roles and the practical skills this course builds are exactly what those employers test for in interviews.
This course covers the complete bug bounty hunting roadmap: web and HTTP fundamentals, Linux and Burp Suite setup, passive and active reconnaissance, core OWASP web vulnerabilities (XSS, SQLi, IDOR, SSRF, CSRF, and more), API security testing, automation with Python and Nuclei, live hunting methodology, attack chaining, and professional vulnerability reporting. Every module includes hands-on labs using PortSwigger Web Security Academy, OWASP Juice Shop, DVWA, and real in-scope bug bounty targets so you graduate with verified, practical skills, not just theoretical knowledge.
What You Will Achieve:
- Find and validate real security vulnerabilities in web applications using professional tools and methodology
- Conduct full reconnaissance workflows using Subfinder, ffuf, gau, waybackurls, and AI-assisted recon techniques
- Test for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and a wide range of modern web attack classes
- Test APIs for authorization flaws, injection vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations using Postman and Burp Suite
- Automate repetitive security tasks using Python scripts, Bash one-liners, and Nuclei
- Write professional, triager-ready vulnerability reports with clear proof of concept and business impact
- Submit your first valid bug bounty report on a real programme before the course ends

What Changes When You Use AI in Bug Bounty Hunting
In 2026, the most productive bug bounty hunters are not the ones who manually type every recon command or write every payload from memory. They are the ones who know what they are looking for, use AI tools to do the mechanical work faster, and spend their time on the judgment calls that require real security knowledge — which endpoints are worth attacking, whether a finding is exploitable or theoretical, and how to write a report that gets paid instead of closed.
Here is how AI changes the real day-to-day in bug bounty hunting, and what we teach you to do with it:
- Recon: Instead of manually crafting every enumeration command, you describe your recon objective and use AI to suggest tools, parameters, and approaches. The output still needs to be read and filtered by someone who understands what a live subdomain versus a dead one means, and what a leaked API key in a GitHub repo actually requires to exploit.
- Payload generation: Rather than maintaining a personal wordlist for every vulnerability class, you use AI to generate context-specific payloads for XSS, SQLi, SSRF, and other injection attacks. The skill is knowing which payload type fits which injection context, AI does not know that automatically.
- Report writing: AI tools can help you structure a professional vulnerability report faster. But the business impact, the correct CVSS scoring, and the clear proof of concept still require the hunter to understand what they found and why it matters, triagers reject AI-written reports that are vague or inaccurate about severity.
- Automation scripting: Python and Bash automation is faster to write with AI assistance. But automation scripts that run on real targets need to be reviewed carefully before execution, an automation error on a bug bounty target can violate programme rules and get your account banned.
The rule we teach: AI assists the workflow. The security knowledge, what to test, whether a finding is real, what the business impact is, and whether your report is accurate, stays yours. Every AI-assisted deliverable in class is reviewed, validated, and explained by the student before it counts as their work.
