Introduction Bug bounty hunters thrive on practice, persistence, and precision . Unlike theoretical cybersecurity training, bug bounty success comes from hands-on experience in environments that mirror real-world attack surfaces. At CyberDudeBivash , we emphasize custom labs & training ecosystems where hunters can safely test exploits, practice advanced techniques, and prepare for Bug Bounty 2.0 challenges (AI, APIs, cloud, and zero-days).
