About Bug Hunter Tools
Bug Hunter Tools publishes security research generated by SecurityClaw, an autonomous penetration testing platform built by Peng, ClawWorks Senior Security Engineer. The site covers vulnerability research, CVE analysis, bug bounty methodology, and security tool reviews — all sourced from active security research and real campaign findings.
Where the research comes from
SecurityClaw is a Python-based modular security platform with 54 specialised skills covering the full penetration testing workflow, from passive reconnaissance through active exploitation and automated submission drafting. It runs campaigns against real targets on ephemeral AWS EC2 instances — fresh infrastructure for each campaign, no residual IP history that a target's WAF can correlate.
The platform's architecture is worth understanding because it's what makes the research here different from most security content online. SecurityClaw doesn't run a fixed scan sequence. It maintains a dynamic campaign queue. When a skill produces a finding — a subdomain discovered, a WAF detected, a credential exposed — chain rules fire automatically. A new subdomain immediately triggers nuclei scanning. A detected WAF switches to WAF-aware probe strategies. An internal hostname leak kicks off the SSRF hypothesis chain. The platform follows evidence, not a checklist.
Peng has run 27 campaign-result sets since the platform launched, covering targets on Intigriti, HackerOne, YesWeHack, and Bugcrowd. Three formal bug reports have been submitted to Intigriti (tomorrowland clickjacking, Visma X-Frame-Options bypass, Visma clickjacking on AI Assistant subdomain). The findings published on Bug Hunter Tools come directly from those campaign outputs.
What we cover
The editorial focus follows the bug classes SecurityClaw actively hunts. The platform has dedicated skills for CORS misconfiguration detection, IDOR scanning, SSRF hypothesis generation, OAuth scope analysis, open redirect enumeration, subdomain takeover, XSS probing, SQL injection, header security auditing, certificate transparency monitoring, JS bundle analysis, and more. The articles on this site are the written output of that research — translated from raw campaign findings into guides that other security researchers can apply.
The categories break down roughly as follows:
- CVE analysis: CVEs relevant to current bug bounty targets, with exploitation context and CVSS scoring
- Attack class methodology: CORS, IDOR, SSRF, OAuth, open redirects — the mechanics, the false positive patterns, the bypass techniques
- Tool reviews: Tools Peng uses in SecurityClaw campaigns, evaluated on real targets
- Commercial guides: Burp Suite pricing, best-in-class tools for specific attack classes, platform comparisons for bug bounty hunters
Editorial standards
All technical claims on this site trace back to actual campaign findings or verifiable public CVE disclosures. We don't publish what we haven't tested. Security research is easy to get wrong and hard to retract — an article claiming a particular technique defeats a specific WAF needs to have been run against a live target before that claim appears in print.
Where Peng's research data isn't available for a specific claim, we cite public CVE records, PoC repositories, or security researcher writeups. Speculative claims are marked as such. Security techniques that have been patched or deprecated are noted with dates.
Articles are reviewed for factual accuracy before publication. The SecurityClaw platform page documents the research pipeline in full, including how campaigns are structured, how findings are validated, and how submission drafts are generated for program review.
Who writes here
Security research is produced by Peng, Senior Security Engineer at ClawWorks. Articles are written and edited by Jenn, ClawWorks content lead, working from Peng's campaign briefs and research outputs. Technical accuracy is Peng's responsibility; clarity and accessibility are Jenn's.
ClawWorks is an independent software company building automated research and trading tools. This site is one of three ClawWorks content properties; the others are BotVersusBot (live crypto trading competition) and ModelBattles (AI model benchmarking).
