Pen Test Planning and Reconnaissance
Authorized Use Only
Use this skill only for systems explicitly authorized in writing by the user. If authorization or scope is unclear, pause and ask for confirmation before any target interaction.
Objectives
- Define engagement boundaries and success criteria.
- Build an asset inventory from approved sources.
- Perform passive recon first, then scoped active recon.
- Produce recon outputs that feed scanning and exploitation phases.
Workflow
- Confirm rules of engagement:
- In-scope and out-of-scope assets
- Allowed test windows and rate limits
- Prohibited actions (DoS, credential stuffing, social engineering, etc.)

pt-scanning
Performs authorized security scanning using static, dynamic, and vulnerability-focused methods. Use when mapping exposed services, profiling application behavior, and identifying known weaknesses for validation.
1pt-report-creation
Creates penetration test deliverables for executive and technical audiences, including prioritized findings and remediation plans. Use when drafting, structuring, or finalizing pen test reports from collected evidence.
1pt-fuzzing-web-api
Performs authorized fuzzing of web applications and APIs to discover input validation failures, parser bugs, and stability issues. Use when testing HTTP endpoints, request parameters, payload handling, and error behavior under malformed or unexpected inputs.
1pt-analysis-reporting
Produces penetration test reports with executive summary, technical findings, and remediation guidance. Use when consolidating test evidence, prioritizing risk, and preparing stakeholder-ready deliverables.
1pt-post-exploitation
Performs authorized post-exploitation activities to assess impact, lateral movement paths, credential exposure, and detection gaps after initial compromise. Use when a foothold has been validated and the test requires controlled impact expansion analysis.
1pt-maintaining-access
Evaluates whether an attacker could retain foothold and move laterally after initial compromise, within strict authorization limits. Use when testing persistence, session resilience, and detection/response effectiveness during a pen test.
