authentication

authentication is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from transilienceai/communitytools. It costs 32 tokens per session (553 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security testing guide for login systems, access tokens, OAuth, passwords, two-factor authentication, CAPTCHA, and bot detection. JWT is a common token format, while OAuth lets one service grant another limited access.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test authentication flows, token handling, password defenses, 2FA, CAPTCHA validation, and bot-detection controls.
Why use it?
It helps find weaknesses that could let attackers bypass login checks, forge tokens, reuse codes, or gain access without proper verification.

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

authentication 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (reference/ntlm-http-listener.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Authentication

Test authentication mechanisms including login security, token handling, 2FA, CAPTCHA, and bot detection.

Techniques

Type Key Vectors
Auth Bypass Default credentials, logic flaws, response manipulation
ADFS/SAML Golden SAML, token signing cert theft, assertion manipulation, SAML wrapping
JWT Algorithm confusion, key injection, claim tampering, token forging
OAuth Redirect manipulation, CSRF, token leakage, scope abuse
Password Brute force, credential stuffing, password policy bypass
2FA Bypass Response manipulation, direct endpoint access, code reuse, race conditions
CAPTCHA Bypass Missing server validation, token reuse, OCR, parameter manipulation
Bot Detection Behavioral biometrics simulation, fingerprint randomization, stealth mode

Tools

PasswordGenerator (tools/password_generator.py):

from tools.password_generator import generate_password
password = generate_password(hint_text="8-16 chars, uppercase, numbers")

CredentialManager (tools/credential_manager.py):

from tools.credential_manager import CredentialManager
mgr = CredentialManager()
mgr.store_credential(target="example.com", username="test", password="pass")

Workflow

  1. Analyze auth implementation (forms, tokens, 2FA, CAPTCHA)
  2. Test bypass vectors per technique type
  3. Use Playwright MCP with human-like behavior (typing 80-200ms, random pauses)
  4. Capture evidence (screenshots, network logs, tokens)
  5. Document findings with PoC scripts

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.

authentication is a skill published in the GitHub repository transilienceai/communitytools (507 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 553 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
