Recon and Methodology Router

This is the starting router for new targets and unknown attack surfaces.

When to Use

  • You just received a new target and do not yet know what to test first
  • You need to begin with asset discovery, tech fingerprinting, endpoint inventory, and test-route planning
  • You want to build follow-up testing on structured methodology instead of random payload enumeration

Skill Map

  • [Recon and Methodology](../recon-and-methodology/SKILL.md)
  • [Insecure Source Code Management](../insecure-source-code-management/SKILL.md) — .git/.svn/.hg exposure detection
  • [Dependency Confusion](../dependency-confusion/SKILL.md) — Supply chain reconnaissance for internal package names

Recommended Flow

1. First confirm in-scope assets and target type 2. Then perform asset discovery, port/service identification, technology fingerprinting, and endpoint collection 3. Route based on collected findings to [api-sec](../api-sec/SKILL.md), [auth-sec](../auth-sec/SKILL.md), [injection-checking](../injection-checking/SKILL.md), or [business-logic-vuln](../business-logic-vuln/SKILL.md)
