offensive-api-abuse skillB

offensive-api-abuse is agent-read markdown (skill) from snailsploit/claude-red: 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 through .

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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.
