🧭 How to Use BugOps

Start a new review

Open the app and begin with the target you want to study. Add the name or URL if the app gives you a place to do that. Then move through the checklist one step at a time.

Work through the checklist

Use the checklist as your guide. Check each item as you complete it. This helps you avoid missed steps and keeps your review in order.

Keep notes as you go

Write down anything useful while you work:

• Login behavior
• Hidden pages
• Input fields
• Error messages
• Unusual response patterns

Review your findings

When you finish a target, go back through your notes and checklist. This makes it easier to spot patterns and repeat useful steps later.

🔒 Security Research Flow

BugOps fits a common bug bounty flow:

• Recon
• Surface review
• Input testing
• Access checks
• Logic checks
• Reporting

This kind of structure helps you move from broad review to focused testing. It also makes it easier to compare one target with another.

📁 Typical App Layout

You may see sections like these inside BugOps:

• Targets
• Checklist
• Notes

These areas help you stay organized while you work on more than one program or domain.
