broken-authentication SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
broken-authentication from aicodedecode/awesome-muse-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add aicodedecode/awesome-muse-skills/broken-authentication@v1.1Pins v1.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "test for broken authentication vulnerabilities", "assess session management security", "perform credential stuffing tests", "evaluate password policies", "test for session fixation", or "identify authentication bypass flaws". It provides comprehensive techniques for identifying authentication and session management weaknesses in web applications.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Broken Authentication Testing ## Purpose Identify and exploit authentication and session management vulnerabilities in web applications. Broken authentication consistently ranks in the OWASP Top 10 and can lead to account takeover, identity theft, and unauthorized access to sensitive systems. This skill covers testing methodologies for password policies, session handling, multi-factor authentication, and credential management. ## Prerequisites ### Required Knowledge - HTTP protocol and session mechanisms - Authentication types (SFA, 2FA, MFA) - Cookie and token handling - Common authentication frameworks ### Required Tools - Burp Suite Professional or Community - Hydra or similar brute-force tools - Custom wordlists for credential testing - Browser developer tools ### Required Access - Target application URL - Test account credentials - Written authorization for testing ## Outputs and Deliverables 1. **Authentication Assessment Report** - Document all identified vulnerabilities 2. **Credential Testing Results** - Brute-force and dictionary attack outcomes 3. **Session Security Analysis** - Token randomness and timeout evaluation …

How to install
mdr add aicodedecode/awesome-muse-skills/broken-authentication@sha256:36289965b69c82cbThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
