Toolkit for interacting with and testing local web applications using

Tests WebSocket API implementations for security vulnerabilities including missing authentication on WebSocket upgrade, Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking (CSWSH), injection attacks through WebSocket messages, insufficient input validation, denial-of-service via message flooding, and information leakage through WebSocket frames. The tester intercepts WebSocket handshakes and messages using Burp Suite, crafts malicious payloads, and tests for authorization bypass on WebSocket channels. Activates for requests involving WebSocket security testing, WS penetration testing, CSWSH attack, or real-time API security assessment.

Test and validate ransomware recovery procedures including backup restore operations, RTO/RPO target verification, recovery sequencing, and clean restore validation to ensure organizational resilience against destructive ransomware attacks.

Tests OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect implementations for security flaws including authorization code interception, redirect URI manipulation, CSRF in OAuth flows, token leakage, scope escalation, and PKCE bypass. The tester evaluates the authorization server, client application, and token handling for common misconfigurations that enable account takeover or unauthorized access. Activates for requests involving OAuth security testing, OIDC vulnerability assessment, OAuth2 redirect bypass, or authorization code flow testing.

Tests authentication and authorization mechanisms in mobile application APIs to identify broken authentication, insecure token management, session fixation, privilege escalation, and IDOR vulnerabilities. Use when performing API security assessments against mobile app backends, testing JWT implementations, evaluating OAuth flows, or assessing session management. Activates for requests involving mobile API auth testing, token security assessment, OAuth mobile flow testing, or API authorization bypass.

Assessing JSON Web Token implementations for cryptographic weaknesses, algorithm confusion attacks, and authorization bypass vulnerabilities during security engagements.

Discovering and exploiting XML External Entity injection vulnerabilities to read server files, perform SSRF, and exfiltrate data during authorized penetration tests.

Tests web applications for Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities by injecting JavaScript payloads into reflected, stored, and DOM-based contexts to demonstrate client-side code execution, session hijacking, and user impersonation. The tester identifies all injection points and output contexts, crafts context-appropriate payloads, and bypasses sanitization and CSP protections. Activates for requests involving XSS testing, cross-site scripting assessment, client-side injection testing, or JavaScript injection vulnerability testing.

Identifying and validating cross-site scripting vulnerabilities using Burp Suite's scanner, intruder, and repeater tools during authorized security assessments.

Test web applications for XML injection vulnerabilities including XXE, XPath injection, and XML entity attacks to identify data exposure and server-side request forgery risks.

Identifying sensitive data exposure vulnerabilities including API key leakage, PII in responses, insecure storage, and unprotected data transmission during security assessments.

Identify and test open redirect vulnerabilities in web applications by analyzing URL redirection parameters, bypass techniques, and exploitation chains for phishing and token theft.
