Pentest API Attacker

Stage

  • PTES: 5
  • MITRE: T1190

Objective

Enumerate and test API endpoints and business logic attack vectors.

Required Workflow

  1. Validate scope before any active action and reject out-of-scope targets.
  2. Run only authorized checks aligned to PTES, OWASP WSTG, NIST SP 800-115, and MITRE ATT&CK.
  3. Write findings in canonical finding_schema format with reproducible PoC notes.
  4. Honor dry-run mode and require explicit --i-have-authorization for live execution.
  5. Export deterministic artifacts for downstream skill consumption.

Execution

bash
python skills/pentest-api-attacker/scripts/api_attacker.py --scope scope.json --target <target> --input <path> --output <path> --format json --dry-run

Outputs

  • api-endpoints.json
