credential-attack

credential-attack is a skill for Claude Code from 26zl/cybersec-toolkit. It costs 101 tokens per session (5,416 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of credential-attack, MIT.

A bug-bounty guide for password spraying: trying a small set of likely passwords across many accounts while avoiding lockouts. It covers choosing between web-vulnerability research and login testing, with legal boundaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports building wordlists, checking breach data, finding employee information through open sources, testing HTTP forms and identity services such as OAuth, Microsoft 365, and Okta, and identifying successful logins for authorized follow-up testing.
Why use it?
It helps researchers decide when this testing is appropriate and organize the checks without unnecessarily locking accounts or testing outside authorized targets.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

credential-attack scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 400 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Vendored note (this repo). Adapted from the standalone claude-bug-bounty project. The upstream executable scaffolding — helper scripts (tools/*.py, tools/*.sh), the standalone wordlists/ pipeline, and slash-commands (/recon, /hunt, /validate, /report, …) — is not bundled here: run tooling through the MCP server (run_tool / run_pipeline / run_script) and install via the project installer/registry. Any static deep-dive files this skill needs are vendored into its own references/ folder, and cross-skill references resolve by skill name (e.g. the bb-methodology skill). Some named tools may not be in tools_config.json yet — add them with the add-tool skill or install upstream.

Phase/command mapping (this repo). The /… names below are upstream phase labels, not bundled commands. Cross-skill: /recon→web2-recon, /hunt→bug-bounty, /validate→triage-validation, /report→report-writing, /scope→authorization-gate. This skill's own pipeline (wordlist-gen → breach-check → osint-employees → spray) runs as MCP run_tool/run_script steps — see each stage below.

CREDENTIAL ATTACK PIPELINE

Real-world initial-access vector. Verizon DBIR consistently ranks Stolen Credentials in the top 3 incident types. Most BB hunters skip this because they only try rockyou.txt and get rate-limited.

Core principle: humans pick lazy passwords. {CompanyName}{Year}!, {ProductName}{Season}, {City}123. Harvesting company-specific vocabulary (product names, office cities, internal project codes) before spraying is what makes the hit-rate go from 0.01% to 1%+.

This skill covers WHEN to use credential attack, HOW to chain the 4 commands, and the legal/operational guardrails.


WHEN TO RUN CREDENTIAL ATTACK

Credential attack is a parallel branch to hunt, not a replacement. Both come after recon:

recon ──┬──▶ hunt (web vuln scan)         ──┐
         │                                     ├──▶ validate ──▶ report
         └──▶ wordlist-gen → ... → spray  ──┘

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
