These Two Tools Helped Me Earn $40K in Bounties

Hey Dev.to! 👋

I wanted to share two tools I built that helped me earn around $40K in bounties over the past two months. Both are open-source, easy to use, and work really well together (though they can be used independently too).

Tool #1: Wayurls

This tool is inspired by TomNomNom’s waybackurls, but I’ve made it faster and more reliable. It’s written in Go, and installation is as simple as:

go install github.com/alwalxed/wayurls@latest  

You can find the repo here: https://github.com/alwalxed/wayurls.

Tool #2: Juicyurls

After gathering URLs with wayurls, I use juicyurls to filter them and find the interesting ones. It’s also written in Go and works great for narrowing down your targets. To install it, run:

go install github.com/alwalxed/juicyurls@latest  

Here’s the repo for juicyurls: https://github.com/alwalxed/juicyurls.

I usually use these tools in a pipeline, but they can definitely be used on their own depending on your needs.

Feel free to check them out, and if you want to contribute or just want to say thanks, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Happy hunting! I hope these tools are as helpful to you as they’ve been to me! 😊
