Re: Training request, TBHM Expansion: From Zero to [BAC] Hero

Hi [Manager],

I would like approval to enroll in TBHM Expansion: From Zero to [BAC] Hero, the on-demand The Bug Hunter's Methodology expansion taught by Zwink through Arcanum Information Security. It is $100 USD, which makes this an easy request to approve, and it is delivered as 8 hours of on-demand content I can work through around my normal responsibilities with no travel or time away from the team.

The course takes a tester from the fundamentals to real-world bug bounty hunting across ten hands-on modules built around live targets, with a spotlight on Broken Access Control, the vuln class that scanners and AI constantly miss. Here is what it brings directly back to our team:

Skills that return to the team

  • Hands-on ability to find Broken Access Control and IDOR manually in APIs and JSON responses, including testing with no cookies, wrong cookies, or another user's session.
  • A practical Burp Suite workflow: configuring the proxy, intercepting and analyzing cookie and Bearer/JWT auth flows, and using Repeater to isolate vulnerable endpoints.
  • Reading requests, status codes, cookies, and headers like an attacker, and dissecting JWT claims, roles, and expiry that can lead to account takeover.
  • Passive recon with gau and waybackurls, liveliness testing, and authenticated reconnaissance on real live platforms.
  • Extracting hidden APIs, routes, and tokens from JavaScript, and building recon habits that scale across every program.

What it means for us

  • Internal capability to find and triage access-control issues earlier, the top-ranked web and API risk, reducing how much we lean on external testing spend.
  • Responsible testing discipline for exploring real applications without harming users.
  • At $100, a trivially easy investment to justify against the cost of a single missed access-control bug.

Note that registrations are non-refundable because the material is proprietary, and full recordings are provided so I can access the material on my own schedule and the investment stays useful long after the initial run.

I am happy to share notes and run an internal walkthrough for the team once I complete it. Thank you for considering this.

Best regards,
[Name]
