SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the need for efficient and thorough initial evaluation of web applications, APIs, and services, identifying critical elements for further analysis or auditing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Surface-Level Analysis: Provides a quick snapshot of an application's actors, sessions, routes, trust boundaries, and security invariants.
  • Operational Guidelines: Offers guidelines on how to approach web application or API research, from defining targets to mapping identity and state.
  • Artifact Generation: Encourages capturing packets, HAR files, curl reproducers, and screenshots to aid in future reference.
  • Integration: Supports additional MaxTAC tools such as maxtac-source for code-level analysis and maxtac-web-api-fuzzing for fuzzing purposes.

FAQPage Schema
What is web application triage and why do I need it for security assessment?

Web triage identifies key actors, routes, sessions, and security aspects of a web application. You need it to perform efficient initial evaluation and assessment of potential vulnerabilities within a controlled environment before deeper auditing.

How do I perform a security assessment of web application routes and sessions?

You can perform this security assessment by using predefined criteria to gather and analyze web application metadata. The process involves defining targets, mapping identity and state, and capturing artifacts like HAR files and curl reproducers for analysis.

Can I capture HAR files and curl reproducers during web vulnerability scanning?

Yes, you can capture packets, HAR files, curl reproducers, and screenshots during the triage process. Capturing these artifacts encourages comprehensive documentation for future reference during web application security assessment.

What artifacts should I collect for initial web API and service evaluation?

You should collect packets, HAR files, curl reproducers, and screenshots. Capturing these artifacts during initial evaluation provides a comprehensive snapshot of APIs and services to aid in future reference and analysis.

Does web surface triage work with source code analysis and API fuzzing tools?

Yes, web surface triage supports integration with tools like maxtac-source for code-level analysis and maxtac-web-api-fuzzing for fuzzing. This integration helps transition from initial surface evaluation to deeper vulnerability identification.

When should I use surface-level triage instead of deep vulnerability scanning?

Use surface-level triage for initial evaluation of web applications, APIs, and services to identify critical elements quickly. It is intended as a first step before deeper auditing, providing a snapshot without full vulnerability scanning.
