This skill enables automated penetration testing of web applications. It uses the penetration-tester plugin to identify vulnerabilities, including OWASP Top 10 threats, and suggests exploitation techniques. Use this skill when the user requests a "penetration test", "pentest", "vulnerability assessment", or asks to "exploit" a web application. It provides comprehensive reporting on identified security flaws.

Overview
This skill automates the process of penetration testing for web applications, identifying vulnerabilities and suggesting exploitation techniques. It leverages the penetration-tester plugin to assess web application security posture.
How It Works
- Target Identification: Analyzes the user's request to identify the target web application or API endpoint.
- Vulnerability Scanning: Executes automated scans to discover potential vulnerabilities, covering OWASP Top 10 risks.
- Reporting: Generates a detailed penetration test report, including identified vulnerabilities, risk ratings, and remediation recommendations.
When to Use This Skill
This skill activates when you need to:
- Perform a penetration test on a web application.
- Identify vulnerabilities in a web application or API.
- Assess the security posture of a web application.
- Generate a report detailing security flaws and remediation steps.
Examples
Example 1: Performing a Full Penetration Test
User request: "Run a penetration test on example.com"
The skill will:
- Initiate a comprehensive penetration test on the specified domain.
- Generate a detailed report outlining identified vulnerabilities, including SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF.
Example 2: Assessing API Security
User request: "Perform vulnerability assessment on the /api/users endpoint"
The skill will:
- Target the specified API endpoint for vulnerability scanning.
- Identify potential security flaws in the API, such as authentication bypass or authorization issues, and provide remediation advice.
Best Practices
- Authorization: Always ensure you have explicit authorization before performing penetration testing on any system.
- Scope Definition: Clearly define the scope of the penetration test to avoid unintended consequences.
- Safe Exploitation: Use exploitation techniques carefully to demonstrate vulnerabilities without causing damage.
Integration
This skill can be integrated with other security tools and plugins to enhance vulnerability management and remediation efforts. For example, findings can be exported to vulnerability tracking systems.

tools
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
This skill uses the test-doubles-generator plugin to automatically create mocks, stubs, spies, and fakes for unit testing. It analyzes dependencies in the code and generates appropriate test doubles based on the chosen testing framework, such as Jest, Sinon, or others. Use this skill when you need to generate test doubles, mocks, stubs, spies, or fakes to isolate units of code during testing. Trigger this skill by requesting test double generation or using the `/gen-doubles` or `/gd` command.
