What is bug bounty automation?

A system automating recon, scanning, and validation in bug hunting—handles scale, keeps humans on judgment calls.

How to avoid false positives in bug bounty scanning?

Evidence-gated validation: baseline diffs, adversarial PoCs, confidence thresholds over 0.85.

Can AI agents replace bug bounty hunters?

Nope—they amplify. Humans decide submits; agents grind the tedium. Word count: ~950.
