Cybersecurity Skills (Invoke First)

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

• `cybersecurity-skills:performing-web-application-penetration-test`
• `cybersecurity-skills:exploiting-sql-injection-with-sqlmap`
• `cybersecurity-skills:exploiting-server-side-request-forgery`
• `cybersecurity-skills:testing-for-xss-vulnerabilities`
• `cybersecurity-skills:exploiting-idor-vulnerabilities`
• `cybersecurity-skills:performing-graphql-security-assessment`
• `cybersecurity-skills:performing-web-application-vulnerability-triage`

Scope Enforcement

Before testing any web target, verify it is listed in scope.txt:

TARGET_HOST=$(echo "$URL" | python3 -c "from urllib.parse import urlparse; import sys; print(urlparse(sys.stdin.read().strip()).hostname)")
grep -qF "$TARGET_HOST" "${SCOPE_FILE:-./scope.txt}" || {
    echo "[!] SCOPE VIOLATION: $TARGET_HOST not in scope.txt — STOP"
    exit 1
}

Fingerprinting

# Technology stack detection
whatweb -a 3 $URL 2>/dev/null | tee evidence/$(date +%Y%m%d)/$TARGET/web/whatweb.txt

# HTTP service fingerprint (title, status, tech)
echo "$URL" | httpx -title -tech-detect -status-code -method -content-length \
    -o evidence/$(date +%Y%m%d)/$TARGET/web/httpx.txt

# Headers analysis
curl -sI $URL | tee evidence/$(date +%Y%m%d)/$TARGET/web/headers.txt

# Nikto baseline scan
nikto -h $URL -o evidence/$(date +%Y%m%d)/$TARGET/web/nikto.txt -Format txt

Directory and Content Enumeration

OUTDIR="evidence/$(date +%Y%m%d)/$TARGET/web"
mkdir -p $OUTDIR

SQL Injection

# From URL parameter

    --dbs --batch \
    --random-agent \
    --output-dir evidence/$(date +%Y%m%d)/$TARGET/web/sqlmap/

# From Burp request file (recommended for POST)
sqlmap -r burp_request.txt \

    --output-dir evidence/$(date +%Y%m%d)/$TARGET/web/sqlmap/

# Dump specific table after DB identified

# Time-based blind (use when error-based not available)
sqlmap -u "$URL?id=1" --technique=T --level=5 --risk=3 --batch

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

# dalfox parameter scanning
dalfox url "$URL" \
    --output evidence/$(date +%Y%m%d)/$TARGET/web/xss_dalfox.txt \
    --report-format txt

# dalfox with file of URLs
