Run an authorized, scoped web application security test with evidence-based findings and strict active-testing guardrails.
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
# Authorized Web Pentest
Use this only for defensive testing of applications the user owns or has written authorization to test.
## Authorization Gate
Before active testing, ask the user to confirm:
> Confirm: the target URL is `<target>`, you own this application or have written authorization to test it, and active security testing is allowed during this session.
Do not send payloads or scans until the user confirms. Passive source review and reading public pages is fine.
## Scope File
Create an engagement directory:
```bash
ENGAGEMENT="web-pentest-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
mkdir -p "$ENGAGEMENT"/{evidence,findings,reports}
printf "%s\n" "<hostname>" > "$ENGAGEMENT/scope.txt"
```
Every active request must target a host in `scope.txt`. Stop on off-scope redirects.
## Phases
1. Setup:
- Record authorization, target, scope, and time window.
2. Passive/source recon:
- Map routes, auth, sinks, trust boundaries, and deployment config from code.
3. Read-only live recon:
- Headers, robots/sitemap, public links, login surface, XHR endpoints.
4. Vulnerability analysis:
- Injection, XSS, auth/authz, SSRF, file handling, deserialization, CORS, security headers.
5. Proof:
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add metaspartan/cybara/authorized-web-pentest@sha256:f37cf4b0f1a64dc8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260703.247aff5, 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.
