Map and prioritize the attack surface of an authorized black-box web target before testing it - enumerate hosts, endpoints, parameters, auth flows, and technologies, then order them by where bugs actually live. Use at the start of an in-scope engagement or bug-bounty target when you have a URL/app but no source, and need a systematic surface inventory instead of poking random endpoints; when you need to know what to test first. Enforces a scope gate and produces a prioritized surface inventory…
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
# Mapping attack surface (black-box) You can't test what you haven't found, and you'll waste the engagement testing low-value surface first. Recon is the discipline of turning "here's a URL" into a prioritized inventory of everything that takes input, ordered by where bugs live. This skill is the front of the black-box workflow; per-class hunting skills act on its output. ## Scope gate - before anything else Establish and write down scope *first*, and check every action against it: - **Record the authorization**: which hosts/domains/apps are in scope, which are explicitly out, the rules (rate limits, no-DoS, no social engineering, test- account only), and the reporting channel. Keep it where you'll re-read it. - **Check every request against scope before sending it.** A wildcard in a program's scope is not permission to hit a third party's system that happens to be reachable. - **Passive before active; low-impact before high.** Prefer observation over probing until you've confirmed a target is in scope and the action is allowed. - **Never run destructive or state-changing actions** (delete, mass-write, …

How to install
mdr add unboundcompute/security-agent-skills/mapping-attack-surface@sha256:ea403f3f24011dcdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260816.faa9c07, 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.
