Skill UI

A specialized security testing skill designed to identify excessive data exposure in REST or GraphQL APIs, adhering to OWASP API3:2023 guidelines. It works by intercepting raw API responses and systematically comparing the returned data against what the frontend UI actually displays. This helps auditors detect leaked PII, internal identifiers, debug fields, or other sensitive business data that should have been filtered out by the endpoint response. Use cases include auditing microservice boundaries, assessing mobile API responses designed for multiple clients, and verifying proper respons...

This guide provides a comprehensive methodology for identifying and exploiting Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerabilities in web applications and APIs. It teaches testers how to systematically manipulate object identifiers (such as numerical IDs, UUIDs, or slugs) within API requests and URLs. Techniques involve using advanced tools like Burp Suite's Authorize extension to test object-level access control, validating both horizontal (same privilege) and vertical (different privilege) access restrictions during authorized penetration tests or bug bounty engagements.

A specialized skill for discovering and exploiting Mass Assignment vulnerabilities (autobinding) in REST APIs. It guides the injection of unexpected or hidden parameters (such as role or isAdmin) into create/update requests. This technique is crucial during API security assessments to test for privilege escalation, authorization bypass, and unintended parameter binding in ORM-backed endpoints (e.g., Rails, Django).

This guide details implementing comprehensive API security using Google Apigee. It covers multiple advanced policies, including JSON/XML content validation, regex injection detection (SQLi, XSS), rate limiting (SpikeArrest), and robust OAuth 2.0 enforcement. Use this when shielding critical APIs from OWASP API Top 10 threats and malicious client abuse patterns.

This skill uses the Thinkst Canary REST API to programmatically deploy and monitor various tripwire mechanisms, including web bugs, DNS tokens, MS Word documents, and AWS API keys. It is designed for early breach detection by simulating attacker activity and generating comprehensive deception coverage reports and alert histories.

This skill automates the entire phishing incident response lifecycle using the Splunk SOAR REST API. It processes reported emails, extracts indicators of compromise (IOCs) like URLs and IPs, creates incident containers, attaches artifacts, and triggers automated playbooks for deep analysis and reporting. It is essential for security operations teams needing robust, programmatic incident handling and compliance alignment.

This guide details how to integrate OWASP ZAP (Zed Attack Proxy) into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/GitLab) for comprehensive Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST). It covers configuring baseline, full, and API scans to identify common vulnerabilities like XSS, SQLi, and CSRF in running web applications and REST/GraphQL APIs, ensuring security quality gates in the development lifecycle.

This tool utilizes Microsoft RESTler to perform stateful REST API fuzzing. It compiles OpenAPI/Swagger specifications into a usable grammar, allowing users to test complex API interaction sequences. It is crucial for discovering state-related bugs, injection vulnerabilities, authentication bypasses, and resource leaks that standard testing might miss. Ideal for continuous security validation in CI/CD pipelines.

Automate Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) collection and target profiling using the SpiderFoot REST API and CLI. This tool leverages over 200 modules to map an organization's attack surface, collecting structured data including domains, IPs, email addresses, leaked credentials, and DNS records. Ideal for conducting comprehensive security assessments, threat intelligence gathering, and incident response procedures.

A comprehensive security script designed to test REST API authentication mechanisms for common vulnerabilities. It assesses broken token validation, missing authentication on critical endpoints, weak password policies, and session management flaws. The tool specifically evaluates JWT implementation, API key handling, and adherence to OWASP API Security Top 10, helping identify authentication bypasses before production deployment.

A specialized skill for assessing REST and GraphQL APIs against Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA/IDOR), a critical vulnerability highlighted by OWASP API1:2023. This process involves intercepting API calls, identifying object identifiers (numeric IDs, UUIDs, slugs), and systematically substituting these IDs with those belonging to other users or tenants. It verifies whether the API server correctly enforces per-object authorization checks, mitigating risks of horizontal privilege escalation and unauthorized data access in multi-tenant environments.

A comprehensive guide for systematically assessing modern API endpoints (REST, GraphQL, gRPC) against the OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023). This workflow covers identifying endpoints, testing for Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA/IDOR), assessing broken authentication, and validating rate limiting. Use this during authorized penetration tests or before production deployment to ensure robust API security.
