AUDIENCE:Bug bounty hunters, web pentesters, appsec engineers and offensive builders who want a workflow with less fragmentation between capture, triage and execution.
PROMISE:Understand the Ghost-Hunter logic in seconds: capture, scope filtering, deduplication, scoring, AI triage, test strategy, execution and finding follow-up.

The Ghost-Hunter workflow map

A clear view of the Ghost-Hunter pipeline to move from raw HTTP traffic to actionable test hypotheses, then to properly tracked findings.

A visual resource to understand how Ghost-Hunter structures the path from traffic to findings.

Most bug bounty workflows fragment quickly across proxies, notes, scripts, payloads and memory of what has already been tested.

This resource shows how Ghost-Hunter aims to reduce that fragmentation with a pipeline that is clearer, more visible and easier to steer when deciding what to test next.

##Where the signal gets lost

  • -Too much traffic and not enough early noise reduction.
  • -Too many duplicates and too much context loss between endpoints, notes and payloads.
  • -Too many back-and-forth jumps between proxy, scripts, triage and execution.
  • -Not enough continuity between capture, prioritization and finding tracking.

##Workflow breakdown

Group 1 : Capture and noise reduction

  • ->Interception through Burp or proxy
  • ->Scope filtering
  • ->Endpoint deduplication

Group 2 : Prioritization and triage

  • ->Heuristic scoring
  • ->AI triage for interesting surfaces
  • ->Requests worth deeper investigation

Group 3 : Strategy and execution

  • ->Test plans
  • ->Payload suggestions
  • ->HTTP execution
  • ->Response comparison

Group 4 : Finding follow-up

  • ->Signal centralization
  • ->Test tracking
  • ->A clearer endpoint and findings dashboard

##What the resource contains

  • *A complete Ghost-Hunter pipeline map
  • *A stage-by-stage reading of the capture -> findings flow
  • *A clearer model of the tool product and operational logic
  • *A reusable base for the next framework resources
