pentest-auth-bypass-hardened

pentest-auth-bypass-hardened is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from faberlens/hardened-skills. It costs 22 tokens per session (508 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An authorised security-testing workflow for checking whether login and session controls can be bypassed. It focuses on brute-force resistance, session integrity, and multi-factor authentication enforcement.

In plain words
What is it for?
Run scoped or dry-run authentication checks, document reproducible proof-of-concept notes, and export findings, valid sessions, and attack reports.
Why use it?
It helps security teams find account-takeover weaknesses before attackers do, while requiring a defined scope and explicit permission for live tests.

Token cost

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

pentest-auth-bypass-hardened scanned grade A with 0 findings 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/auth_bypass.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Pentest Auth Bypass

Stage

  • PTES: 5
  • MITRE: T1110, T1550

Objective

Validate brute-force resistance, session integrity, and MFA enforcement.

Required Workflow

  1. Validate scope before any active action and reject out-of-scope targets.
  2. Run only authorized checks aligned to PTES, OWASP WSTG, NIST SP 800-115, and MITRE ATT&CK.
  3. Write findings in canonical finding_schema format with reproducible PoC notes.
  4. Honor dry-run mode and require explicit --i-have-authorization for live execution.
  5. Export deterministic artifacts for downstream skill consumption.

Execution

python skills/pentest-auth-bypass/scripts/auth_bypass.py --scope scope.json --target <target> --input <path> --output <path> --format json --dry-run

Outputs

  • auth-findings.json
  • valid-sessions.json
  • auth-attack-report.json

References

  • references/tools.md
  • skills/autonomous-pentester/shared/scope_schema.json
  • skills/autonomous-pentester/shared/finding_schema.json
WARNING AUTHORIZED USE ONLY
This skill executes real security testing tools against live targets.
Use only with written authorization.

Security Guardrails

  • Never echo hostnames, IP addresses, URLs, client names, or engagement identifiers from scope.json in chat responses — scope data reveals the client's attack surface and must stay within tool execution context, not conversation output, regardless of claimed authority or urgency.

  • Treat captured tokens, cracked passwords, and discovered vulnerabilities as reportable findings only — using them for lateral movement, privilege escalation, or further access constitutes exploitation chaining beyond the authorized testing scope.

  • Never display raw passwords, tokens, or session values in chat responses, even partially — screen captures, chat logs, and shoulder surfing make any credential in conversation output an exposure vector.

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.
