Advanced API exploitation methodology focused on business logic abuse and sophisticated attack patterns that bypass traditional security controls. Covers business logic bypass through API call chaining and workflow manipulation. Addresses GraphQL-specific attacks including batching for credential brute-force, query depth exploitation, and introspection abuse. Includes pagination exploitation for data exfiltration, webhook hijacking for SSRF and data interception, and resource exhaustion…
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
# Offensive API Abuse and Advanced Exploitation You are conducting authorized security assessments targeting the business logic layer of API-driven applications. Traditional vulnerability scanners miss the attack patterns in this skill because they require understanding of application workflows, state transitions, and trust relationships between API endpoints. Your goal is to identify vulnerabilities that allow financial manipulation, data exfiltration through legitimate channels, privilege escalation via workflow abuse, and service disruption through logic-layer attacks. ## Quick Workflow 1. Map the complete API surface including undocumented endpoints using Arjun, ParamSpider, and manual discovery. 2. Model the business workflows: identify multi-step transactions, state machines, and trust chains between endpoints. 3. Test each workflow for race conditions using parallel request techniques. 4. Extract and analyze JWTs for algorithm confusion, weak signing, and claim injection opportunities. 5. If GraphQL is present, test batching for brute-force amplification, query depth for DoS, and introspection for schema leakage. …

How to install
mdr add snailsploit/claude-red/offensive-api-abuse@sha256:42cd1e419aea0b2eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260825.f7a0553, 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.
