Abstract
Agentic Bug Hunter is an open-source Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking project. AI-powered bug bounty hunting toolkit that works with or without subscription. Agentic Bug Hunter finds real, reportable bugs, not theoretical ones. Point it at a target and it runs recon, tests for vulnerabilities, validates findings against a strict gate, and writes a submission-ready report for HackerOne, Bugcrowd, Intigriti, or Immunefi. It is built using Python. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the MIT License, making it a useful reference for students building a Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking mini project or final-year project.
1. Introduction
Agentic Bug Hunter finds real, reportable bugs, not theoretical ones. Point it at a target and it runs recon, tests for vulnerabilities, validates findings against a strict gate, and writes a submission-ready report for HackerOne, Bugcrowd, Intigriti, or Immunefi.
