SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When facing a new target or unknown attack surface, testers often don't know where to start. This Skill acts as an entry router that structures the reconnaissance phase—scope mapping, asset discovery, technology fingerprinting, and endpoint inventory—so follow-up testing is driven by methodology rather than random payload enumeration. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Recon Routing: Directs the agent to the recon-and-methodology skill for asset discovery, port/service identification, and endpoint collection. - Skill Map Navigation: Links to specialized skills such as insecure source code management (.git/.svn/.hg exposure) and dependency confusion for supply chain reconnaissance. - Downstream Test Planning: Routes collected findings to api-sec, auth-sec, injection-checking, or business-logic-vuln skills based on what recon uncovers. - Use Case: You receive a new web target in a CTF or authorized pentest. Use this Skill to confirm in-scope assets, fingerprint the technology stack, build an endpoint inventory, and then pick the first high-value testing path. ## Quick Start Use the recon-for-sec skill to map the attack surface of this new target and recommend which security testing path to start with.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start reconnaissance on a new web target?▼

Begin by confirming in-scope assets and target type, then perform asset discovery, port and service identification, technology fingerprinting, and endpoint collection. This Skill routes those steps and recommends the first high-value testing path based on findings.

What should I do after completing recon on a target?▼

Route based on collected findings to specialized testing skills: api-sec for API surfaces, auth-sec for authentication flows, injection-checking for injection points, or business-logic-vuln for workflow flaws. Recon output determines which path is highest value.

How do I detect exposed .git or .svn directories on a target?▼

Use the insecure-source-code-management skill linked from this router. It covers detection of exposed version control directories such as .git, .svn, and .hg discovered during the reconnaissance phase.

What is dependency confusion reconnaissance?▼

Dependency confusion recon identifies internal package names that could be claimed on public registries, a supply chain attack vector. The dependency-confusion skill linked here handles that supply chain reconnaissance workflow.

When should I not use a recon router skill?▼

Skip the router when the target and vulnerability class are already known, such as a focused injection retest. The router is designed for new targets and unknown attack surfaces where the testing path is not yet determined.
