aegis-denial-of-service from as-foss/aegis-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add as-foss/aegis-skills/aegis-denial-of-service@git:20260826.9702747

Pins git:20260826.9702747 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Detects application-layer denial-of-service and resource-exhaustion flaws (ReDoS regexes, unbounded parsing and allocation, quadratic algorithms, pagination abuse, event-loop blocking, cache/log fill, third-party cost amplification) via static inspection plus bounded live probes.

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

# Denial of Service & Resource Exhaustion (Application Layer)

Primary CWE mappings used throughout this module:

| CWE | Name | Used for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| CWE-400 | Uncontrolled Resource Consumption | General missing-limits DoS findings |
| CWE-1333 | Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity | ReDoS findings |
| CWE-409 | Improper Handling of Highly Compressed Data (Data Amplification) | Zip/decompression bomb findings |

Secondary CWEs referenced inline where they fit better than the three above: CWE-405 (Asymmetric Resource Consumption / Amplification), CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity), CWE-674 (Uncontrolled Recursion), CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling), CWE-776 (Improper Restriction of Recursive Entity References in DTDs, i.e. XML entity expansion), CWE-789 (Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value). All of these are verified CWE identifiers; do not invent additional ones.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add as-foss/aegis-skills/aegis-denial-of-service@sha256:db7f14df5161d7d3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.9702747, 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.
