dev.target.com 600 IN CNAME devexamplename.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I logged into the MS Azure portal and created the virtual machine service, then entered devexamplename<\/strong> as the name of virtual machine and selected the East US<\/strong> region… and the green tick has appeared :), pointing that I probably can takeover this domain. The best part is the company clearly stated in bug bounty policy: “If you find subdomain takeover, DO NOT take over it, just send us the proof”.<\/p>\nSo I took the screenshot of the Azure panel, sent the report and cashed out $150.<\/p>\n
See you next bug \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
