This skill guides the detection and exploitation of JavaScript prototype pollution vulnerabilities. It covers both client-side (DOM XSS) and server-side (RCE, Auth Bypass) attacks by injecting properties into Object.prototype using keys like `__proto__`. Use this when assessing APIs that deep-merge or clone user-controlled JSON data, or for general web application security testing.

A comprehensive guide for implementing centralized security controls on API gateways (e.g., Kong, AWS API Gateway, Azure APIM). It covers critical defense layers including JWT-based authentication enforcement, advanced rate limiting and throttling, request validation against schemas, TLS termination, and Web Application Firewall (WAF) integration. Use this when establishing a robust, layer-7 security posture for microservice APIs.

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.

Implement robust, phishing-resistant authentication using FIDO2/WebAuthn standards. This guide covers integrating WebAuthn APIs, configuring FIDO2 servers, managing passkey enrollment, and migrating systems away from traditional passwords. Essential for meeting high-assurance security standards like NIST SP 800-63B AAL3.

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 skill implements a comprehensive brand monitoring system to detect brand impersonation attacks across multiple digital attack surfaces, including domain squatting, social media profiles, phishing sites, mobile apps, and the dark web. It uses tools like dnstwist and integrates APIs (Google Safe Browsing, VirusTotal) to proactively identify unauthorized brand usage and potential cyber threats targeting an organization.

A comprehensive guide for performing authorized security assessments on GraphQL APIs. This skill covers key areas such as endpoint discovery, schema introspection, testing for authorization flaws (BOLA/BFLA), injection vulnerabilities (SQL/NoSQL), and denial-of-service risks. Essential for penetration testers and bug bounty researchers targeting modern web applications.

This skill details how to execute HTTP Parameter Pollution (HPP) attacks. HPP exploits differences in how web applications and Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) process duplicate parameters within a single request (e.g., query strings or POST bodies). It is crucial for penetration testing to bypass input validation, WAF rules, and uncover parameter parsing inconsistencies in APIs and web forms.

This tool performs comprehensive security testing on SOAP web services. It analyzes WSDL definitions to identify available methods and then tests for critical XML-related vulnerabilities, including XXE, XPath injection, XML bombs, and WS-Security bypass. It is designed for automated penetration testing of enterprise-level SOAP APIs.

This skill demonstrates how to secure AWS API Gateway endpoints using AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall). It implements essential security measures including protection against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, custom rate-limiting rules, IP reputation filtering, and bot control. Ideal for deploying public API endpoints that require robust defense against common web attacks and API abuse.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide and methodology for identifying and exploiting Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) misconfigurations in web applications. It covers testing origin validation bypasses, analyzing preflight requests, and simulating data exfiltration during authorized penetration tests, crucial for assessing API security.

A comprehensive guide for systematically assessing web applications and APIs for broken access control vulnerabilities (OWASP A01:2021). The methodology covers role-based access control (RBAC) auditing, horizontal and vertical privilege escalation, and multi-tenant data leakage using tools like Burp Suite, ffuf, and custom scripts. Essential for authorized penetration testing and security audits.
