7-question gate run before promoting a finding to FINDING + opening a report. Kills weak/non-impactful findings before they reach the report stage and damage validity ratio.
Stage 3 triage and verification playbook. Crafts minimal PoCs, runs them with ZFP controls, promotes validated bugs to FINDING nodes with CVSS. Load at verifier-agent startup.
Mandatory first-turn startup procedure — checks for existing engagements, resume/new selection, workspace initialization.

Identify any front-end shield (Cloudflare, AWS WAF, Akamai, Imperva, etc.) so exploit can choose appropriate evasion (encoding, payload obfuscation, alternate transport). A multi-proxy/CDN stack is also the recognition signal for HTTP request smuggling — note this for handoff.
# wafw00f

# Manual detection via response patterns
curl -s "https://<target>/?id=1' OR '1'='1" -I | grep -iE '(server|x-cdn|cf-ray|x-sucuri|x-aws)'
| WAF | Signal |
|---|---|
| Cloudflare | CF-RAY header, __cfduid cookie |
| AWS WAF | x-amzn-requestid header |
| Akamai | AkamaiGHost server header |
| Imperva | X-CDN header, incap_ses cookie |
| Sucuri | X-Sucuri-ID header |
| F5 BIG-IP | BIGipServer cookie |
If the response chain shows TWO different Server: strings on subsequent requests, or a CDN front in front of an origin server with different framing, note this in the handoff under "Frontend stack" — it is the recognition signal for HTTP request smuggling routing in exploit.
