Rookie hunters: skip the recon scripts at first. Just use the target app like a regular user.
Say your target is an e-commerce webapp.
Create a real account, complete a product checkout, and note every API call. You'll find endpoints and parameters that an automated crawler misses.
➡️ Record the entire flow with a proxy tool running in the background.
➡️ Note which parameters are incremental (userId, orderId).
➡️ Change IDs, replay requests in a different sequence, skip steps.
Try the same checklist on a login flow, a password reset, or a multi-step form.
Go find that P1. 💰
