Use when pentesting a web application or API — injection, XSS/CSP, SSRF/cloud-metadata, HTTP desync & cache poisoning, SSTI/prototype-pollution/deserialization, JWT/OAuth/GraphQL/IDOR, business logic & single-packet race
Use when gaining initial access to a target — phishing, payload delivery, HTML smuggling, ISO/IMG/MOTW bypass, supply-chain, credential stuffing, exposed-service exploitation
Use when recalling prior techniques at recon/weaponize, or recording a confirmed finding at report — cross-engagement pattern memory ranked by impact
Use when attacking a network or moving laterally — L2/L3 poisoning (LLMNR/mDNS, ARP/DHCP, mitm6), coercion + NTLM relay (CVE-2025-33073), TUN pivoting (Ligolo-ng/Chisel), MitM, network-service RCE (CVE-2024-38077), WPA2/WPA3 wireless
Use when starting any offensive-security engagement or task — establishes how to find and invoke the right skill before any action (including clarifying questions, recon, exploitation, or reporting)
Use when the target has a non-Wi-Fi radio attack surface — Bluetooth/BLE (GATT, pairing, KNOB/BIAS/BleedingTooth), Zigbee/Thread/Matter & Z-Wave mesh (Touchlink, S0 downgrade), LoRaWAN/Sub-GHz LPWAN, SDR capture/replay/rolljam, smart locks/medical/IoT radios.…
Use when writing security tooling, exploits, scanners, or C2 in Python/C/Go/Rust/ASM — systems & network programming, automation, cryptography implementation
Use when escalating privileges on a Linux host — SUID/SGID & GTFOBins, sudo LPE (CVE-2025-32462/32463), capabilities & LD_PRELOAD, kernel LPE (CVE-2024-1086, Dirty Pipe, GameOver(lay)), service misconfig (PwnKit, Looney Tunables), container/namespace escape
