Use this skill when you need to design security testing around OWASP risks, vulnerability scanning, and penetration scenarios; triggers include security testing and vulnerability testing.

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

# Security Testing (English)

**Chinese version:** See the corresponding Chinese skill.

## When to Use

- Need help with security testing in a real project context.
- Need an output that can be used directly for execution, review, or follow-up.

## Workflow

1. Read and follow the main prompt listed under Progressive disclosure (coverage, structure, quality bar).
2. Add only project context that changes the result: scope, environment, constraints, risks, dependencies, expected deliverable.
3. If input is incomplete, return a usable first draft and explicitly mark assumptions and gaps.
4. Default to Markdown; switch formats only when the user asks.

## Domain Execution Essentials

1. Within actual authorization map asset/principal→threat→control→steps→oracle→evidence/state. Record environment, permitted actions, stop conditions, and authority provenance.
2. Pair authorized access with unauthorized-denial controls. Denial requires no data disclosure or tool/write effects; error responses and scans alone are insufficient.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add naodeng/awesome-qa-skills/security-testing@sha256:7c26e00d702f3278

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.7d9502b, 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.
