Platforms, Programs, and Assets
How Nimbus Vault organizes the targets you are hacking on.
The hierarchy
- Platform — where the program lives: a bug bounty platform, a VDP, a private engagement. One record per source of work.
- Program — a scope of testing published by an organization: the rules, the rewards, the boundary.
- Asset — one concrete thing you are testing:
admin.example.com, an API endpoint, an Android app, a source checkout.
You rarely test a "program" directly. Work happens on assets, so that is where observations, components, and suggestions live.
