SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps security teams and developers identify and document denial-of-service vulnerabilities early by analyzing threat models and reconnaissance data.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Threat-model driven DoS scanning across input handling, endpoints, and data flows.
  • Detection of ReDoS, resource exhaustion, and archive/XML bombs with actionable patterns.
  • Generates structured findings appended to vulnerabilities.md for tracking and remediation.

Quick Start

Run vuln-dos with your threat-model and recon documentation to identify DoS vectors and append findings to assessment/vulnerabilities.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect ReDoS and other denial-of-service vulnerabilities in my web application?

To detect ReDoS and denial-of-service vulnerabilities, you analyze your application's threat model and reconnaissance data to identify dangerous patterns like resource exhaustion and archive bombs. This process evaluates server-side input handling across endpoints to map potential DoS vectors.

What is a threat-model driven approach for DoS vulnerability scanning?

Threat-model driven DoS vulnerability scanning uses your existing threat-model and recon documentation to systematically evaluate server-side processing and data flows. It detects specific denial-of-service vectors like XML bombs and ReDoS, producing structured remediation guidance for tracking.

Can I scan for resource exhaustion and archive bombs using my existing threat-model.md file?

Yes, you can scan for resource exhaustion and archive bombs by providing your threat-model.md and recon.md files as input. The analysis applies to projects with server-side processing and user input handling, evaluating endpoints to detect these specific denial-of-service patterns.

How do I document and track denial-of-service findings during a security assessment?

To document and track denial-of-service findings, you can append structured remediation guidance directly to an assessment vulnerabilities.md file. This method records detected DoS vectors like ReDoS and XML bombs, creating an actionable list for developer remediation.

Does DoS vulnerability scanning work for applications without server-side processing?

DoS vulnerability scanning for these specific patterns is designed for applications with server-side processing and user input handling. Without server-side endpoints and data flows to analyze in your threat model, detecting resource exhaustion or XML bombs is not applicable.
