When I started doing bug bounty I’ve been using my home computer for all. Recon, host scanning, domain bruteforcing, port scanning, subdomains enumeration, screenshoting websites. All was good until the first problems arise. While scanning, some pages blocked me, this way me or my girlfriend coudn’t use the website. There was also problems with VOD services as I was sucking out the bandwidth. Sometimes I had to let my computer running all night to complete some scanning tasks. After watch some Nahamsec‘s videos I decided to invest into VPS. It solved all the problems:
- I don’t have to worry about hardware
- I don’t have to leave my computer running all night
- I don’t suck out the bandwidth of my home internet
- I can do scanning and other recon tasks without fear of blacklisting my ip address and blocking me
- I have place to host POCs and blind xss framework such as ezXSS
I started with gigahost vps which is solid one, but today, thanks to Nahamsec and Black Week, I bought even more powerful and cheaper VPS at Hostinger : 2 core CPU, 8GB RAM, 100TB NVMe and 8TB of bandwidth and all this stuff for about $5 a month if you pay upfront for 2 years. If you’re interested, here you can get one:
Get the VPS and start good recon 🙂
