Individual skill
implementing-attack-surface-management
Implements external attack surface management (EASM) using Shodan, Censys, and ProjectDiscovery tools (subfinder, httpx, nuclei) for asset discovery, subdomain enumeration, service fingerprinting, and exposure scoring. Includes a weighted risk scoring algorithm based on OWASP attack surface analysis methodology and the Relative Attack Surface Quotient (RSQ). Use when building continuous ASM programs or performing external reconnaissance for security assessments.

## Helper prerequisites
This bundled skill supplies methodology text; it does not install the local helper files invoked below. Before running a command using `agent.py` or a `scripts/` path, create that file from a complete implementation when one is supplied, or obtain and review the matching upstream helper. Check its `--help` and dependencies against the shown arguments. If no implementation is available, the invocation is a workflow illustration rather than a runnable command; use the documented underlying tools instead.
# Implementing Attack Surface Management
## When to Use
- When building an external attack surface management (EASM) program from scratch
- When performing authorized external reconnaissance for penetration testing engagements
- When continuously monitoring organizational exposure across internet-facing assets
- When scoring and prioritizing external attack surface risks for remediation
- When integrating multiple discovery tools into an automated ASM pipeline
