Deep Invade Skill
Comprehensive deep pentest methodology for targets flagged as high-value by wp-mass-recon (score >= 6). Goes beyond surface recon into SSRF via XMLRPC pingback, error log credential mining, plugin CVE exploitation, JavaScript secret extraction, subdomain/staging discovery, port scanning, and API enumeration. Proven across 7 US company targets over 9 waves of increasingly deep probes.
When to Use
wp-mass-recon scored a target >= 6 (CORS confirmed, XMLRPC open, source leaks found).
- You are assigned a single high-value target for deep assessment.
- After surface recon, you need to find the chain that leads to RCE or data breach.
- Running Wave 6-9 style deep probes against priority targets.
Prerequisites
terminal tool on the worker container.
- Target already scored >= 6 from wp-mass-recon (WordPress confirmed, at least 2 of: CORS/XMLRPC/source leak).
- Collaborator endpoint (Burp Collaborator, interactsh, or your own server) for SSRF/blind confirmation.
nmap available on the worker for port scanning.
How to Run
Execute probes in order. Each phase builds on the previous:
- Extended SSRF probe (XMLRPC pingback to IMDS, localhost, internal IPs)
- Error log mining (fetch and grep for creds, paths, SQL)
- Plugin CVE matrix (30+ REST namespaces, readme.txt versions)
- JavaScript bundle analysis (11 regex patterns for secrets)
- Subdomain/staging enumeration (crt.sh, httpx, WP install pages)
- Port scan (nmap -F for MySQL, FTP, SSH, internal APIs)
- API discovery (Swagger, GraphQL, WooCommerce, Gravity Forms)
Quick Reference
| Phase | Technique | Source Wave | Tool | Time |
|---|
| 1 | SSRF probe (15 IMDS paths + 14 IAM roles + GCP + internal) | Wave6/Wave7 | curl + XMLRPC pingback | 2 min |
| 2 | Error log mining (DB creds, API keys, SQL, salts, emails) | Wave6/Wave8 | Python regex (mine_error_log) | 1 min |
| 3 | Plugin CVE matrix (40+ namespaces + readme.txt versions) | Wave6/Wave7 | curl + regex | 3 min |
| 4 | JS secret extraction (11 patterns, 20 bundles/target) | Wave7 |
