Welcome to Hacker101! For those new to bug bounties and web hacking, we recommend starting with our Newcomers Playlist. This playlist covers fundamental aspects such as web application basics, cultivating a hacker mindset, and crafting effective reports.

In addition to the Newcomers Playlist, we advise getting yourself familiair with Burp Suite, mastering the essentials of Web Hacking, and reviewing the "Report Writing, Communication Tips, and Community Guidelines" section on this page to effectively engage with triage and security teams.

A large collection of hacking tools, like web, desktop, and mobile tools, scanners, datasets, and other valuable resources can be found on the Resources page. Be sure to check them out and get familiar with them.

Hacker101 also offers Capture the Flag (CTF) levels to practice what you've learned and increase your skills. When reaching a total of 26 points in the CTF, you become eligible for invitations to private programs. Whether you’re a new hacker or you’re just new to our platform, this is a great way for you to dive into the deep end from day one. Join in on the fun on Hacker101 CTF!

Good luck, and happy hacking!
