Random thoughts on dreams

Feeling something before falling asleep and you will very likely dreams in that direction. Thinking has little effect though, but feeling has a much stronger effect. For example, If you want to dream of a beautiful girl that night. Just thinking of thoughts like "I will dream of a beautiful girl tonight" has very little effect on your dream that night. But if you spend a few minutes to feel the feelings you have when you meet a beautiful girl, you will very likely dream of her that night.

Yesterday, I dream of the astral world, i believe that this world really exist and it is not a construct of my mind. In my dream, I walk into a hotel on top of an unknown hill. The sky and landscape is gloomy, I believe that this is in the morning, but it feels like a 18:00 rain. The interiors of the hotel are all dark, there are hot coal in the ground, but I didn't feel hot. It is not crowded, but people are in every corner. There are nothing out standing about this place, but I still feel wistful when recalling it. Maybe it is a feeling when I know that I can travel between worlds.

I ate fast food yesterday night, it makes me feel heavy the whole night. I felt that the quality of my dreams that night was down, everything feel a little bit darker than usual, less continuous and nothing extraordinary happens (such as meteors, 3 moons, beautiful sky, fly, ancient stone temples in the forest, etc). Of course, It may be coincident and not relate to eating fast food at all. But still, I would like to think it has. Because I have a negative bias for fried chicken fast food :)

Having been non-working for a week. My dreams gradually become more wild and vivid in this period. I tend to remember more of my dreams, even without writing a dream journal or intentionally remember them after waking up. I believe this is just a glimpse of dreaming capacity of human, in their natural, non-stressful state. I wonder how much did people in the past dream each night.

Beginner Tutorial - How to learn the Technical Skill and Hacker Mindset That Are Required to Find Your First Bug Bounty.

By
In 2023, there are so many bug bounty resources for beginners, much more than before. I believe this is a bad thing for beginners, because now, they have to deal with so much unnecessary distractions just from choosing and sticking to a learning path alone. The over-abundance of free resources also fuels procrastination, we usually see people jumping from one learning path to another, without actually touch a real target. In this article, I will show you how much learning is enough. So you can get out of your learning rabbit holes and start hunting on a real target. By the way, this article aims to help you find bugs in IDOR, Information Disclosure, Business Logics, Broken Access Control. It may not help you to find injections bugs or misconfiguration bugs. Because I don't know how hunt them myself. # Technical Skill If you can solve Practitioner labs in PortSwigger with relatively ease, you have enough technical skill to hunt bugs: - https://portswigger.net/web-security/logic-flaw

The power of focus

A quote in the movie John Wick 1: John Wick is the main of focus, commitment and sheer will Out of all the good traits, the movie writer chooses only 3 traits to describe how bad ass John Wick is. That shows how powerful focus is. I believe he also gets his excellence skills thank to these 3 traits. Focus, commitment and sheer will are pretty similar to each others, they show that the man can stick to something for a long period of time, without switching goal, despite inconvenient challenges. If we apply this to bug bounty, it means, we make a goal, and stick to it, despite all self-doubts. For example, Losef is a beginner, who tries to find his first bug, he sets a goal to hunt on a program for 7 days. In day 1, he feels overwhelmed by how much details his target has. In day 2, he tests features one by one, but finds nothing, he feels down. In day 3, he feels that you have hit a steel wall, which he cannot even imagine how to get pass it. In day 4, he notices the program stats, which

How to succeed in bug bounty as a non-talented bug hunter

When I started bug bounty hunting about 4 years ago. I looked up information about top bug bounty hunter and wondered how are they hunting bugs and grow their H1 reputation so fast. 1 year later, when I found my 1st, 10th, 20th bugs. I still had this question. Because although I had found some bugs, it took me a few days to find one. Recently, as I get more mature in bug bounty. I start to develop a deep understanding for a program. I see many attack surfaces that other people don't realize. When this program releases a new feature, I check if this feature can be abused to attack the attack surfaces A, B, C or D. Oftentimes, at least 1+ bugs are found. When I keep hunting on this program and discover a new attack surface, I check if any existing features can be abused to attack this attack surface. Oftentimes, at least 1+ bugs are found. When there is no new released feature and attack surfaces. I sometimes  wander the program, looking at already tested features and to my surprise.
