Scope
What is Scope?
The defined set of assets or systems that are eligible for testing in a bug bounty program.
Expanded Explanation
Scope ensures clarity for hackers on which targets are allowed and which are off-limits. Programs may include websites, APIs, mobile apps, or infrastructure, and testing out-of-scope targets can lead to disqualification or legal issues.
