# How to Set Up a Bug Bounty Recon Automation with Python & Nuclei

**[InfoSec Write-ups](https://daily.dev/sources/infosecwriteups)** · 6 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A practical guide to automating bug bounty reconnaissance using a Python script that orchestrates Subfinder, Httpx, Nuclei, and Nmap. The workflow discovers subdomains, filters live hosts, runs 9,000+ vulnerability templates via Nuclei, and performs port scanning — all generating a consolidated report. Includes an advanced extension using Waybackurls for historical URL discovery, ethical usage rules, and tips on what to do when vulnerabilities are found.
