Provides web exploitation techniques for CTF challenges. Use when the target is primarily an HTTP application, API, browser client, template engine, identity flow, or smart-contract frontend/backend surface, including XSS, SQLi, SSTI, SSRF, XXE, JWT, auth bypass, file upload, request smuggling, OAuth/OIDC, SAML, prototype pollution, and similar web bugs. Do not use it for native binary memory corruption, reverse engineering of standalone executables, disk or memory forensics, or pure…

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

# CTF Web Exploitation

Use this skill as a routing and execution guide for web-heavy challenges. Keep the first pass short: map the app, confirm the trust boundary, and only then dive into the detailed technique notes.

## Prerequisites

**Python packages (all platforms):**
```bash
pip install sqlmap flask-unsign requests httpx
```

**Linux (apt):**
```bash
apt install hashcat jq curl
```

**macOS (Homebrew):**
```bash
brew install hashcat jq curl
```

**Go tools (all platforms, requires Go):**
```bash
go install github.com/ffuf/ffuf/v2@latest
```

**Manual install:**
- ysoserial — [GitHub](https://github.com/frohoff/ysoserial), requires Java (Java deserialization payloads)
- PayloadsAllTheThings — git clone to ctf-web/payloads/PayloadsAllTheThings (auto via install script or lazy clone)
  ```bash
  bash scripts/install_ctf_tools.sh pat   # PAT only
  bash scripts/install_ctf_tools.sh all   # all tools including PAT
  # manual fallback:
  git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/swisskyrepo/PayloadsAllTheThings.git ctf-web/payloads/PayloadsAllTheThings
  ```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ljagiello/ctf-skills/ctf-web@sha256:c521b3a35bc965f4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.2388a3b, 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.
