Cybersecurity Skills (Invoke First)

Before starting cryptographic testing, invoke these skills via the Skill tool:

• `cybersecurity-skills:performing-ssl-tls-security-assessment`
• `cybersecurity-skills:exploiting-jwt-algorithm-confusion-attack`
• `cybersecurity-skills:testing-for-json-web-token-vulnerabilities`
• `cybersecurity-skills:performing-cryptographic-audit-of-application`
• `cybersecurity-skills:testing-jwt-token-security`
• `cybersecurity-skills:performing-jwt-none-algorithm-attack`
• `cybersecurity-skills:configuring-tls-1-3-for-secure-communications`

Scope Enforcement

Verify target host and TLS endpoints are in scope.txt. Padding oracle attacks send many requests — confirm target can tolerate the load. Document all cryptographic findings with evidence of exploitability, not just misconfiguration.
