SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When a target's visible application surface looks thin, this Skill turns publicly exposed artifacts—JavaScript bundles, source maps, archived URLs, support docs, API examples, and infrastructure breadcrumbs—into a structured map of hidden routes, roles, objects, and second-order pivots. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Artifact Classification: Prioritizes client-side assets, public operational artifacts, third-party relationship artifacts, and cloud/infrastructure breadcrumbs as intelligence sources. - Pivot Graph Construction: Converts each artifact into a graph linking bundles to routes, source maps to original filenames, archived URLs to deprecated endpoints, and support articles to hidden workflow states. - Confidence Scoring: Ranks leads by source quality, recency, cross-source repetition, and pivot value so small leaks that unlock new search spaces outrank generic endpoint lists. - Use Case: During a web application assessment where the homepage reveals little, use this Skill to mine the JS bundle, Wayback Machine snapshots, and help-center articles to enumerate hidden API routes, role names, and feature flags, then produce a confidence-ranked queue of manual tests. ## Quick Start Analyze the target's public JavaScript bundles, archived URLs, and support documentation to build an attack-surface map with second-order pivots and a ranked list of manual tests.

Frequently Asked Questions about artifact-pivot-intelligence

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find hidden API endpoints in a web application?

Extract route templates, object names, and feature flags from JavaScript bundles and source maps, then cross-reference archived URLs and public API examples. Deprecated endpoints and helper APIs often remain reachable behind a new frontend.

What public artifacts are useful for attack surface reconnaissance?

Prioritize client-side assets like JS bundles and source maps, operational artifacts like changelogs and support articles, third-party identifiers like analytics tags and callback URLs, and infrastructure breadcrumbs like storage URLs, CDN hostnames, and certificate SANs.

How do I prioritize reconnaissance leads during a pentest?

Score each lead on source quality, recency, repetition across unrelated sources, and pivot value. A small leak that unlocks a new search space outranks a large but generic endpoint list.

Can source maps reveal internal application details?

Yes. Source maps expose original filenames, service structure, comments, TODOs, and secret-like constants that the minified bundle hides, making them one of the highest-value artifacts for mapping internal naming and trust boundaries.

When is artifact-based reconnaissance not enough?

When artifacts yield a lead, you must move from scraping to manual reasoning: build actor, state, transport, and helper-object matrices to test whether documented flows imply hidden fallbacks or weaker checks on secondary objects.
