dast-config

A review of DAST settings. DAST, or Dynamic Application Security Testing, tests a running application by sending requests and examining its responses for security problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check OWASP ZAP settings, scan policies, API scans, authenticated scans, CI/CD integration, test scope, and the process for sorting duplicate results.
Why use it?
It helps ensure scans are configured to find runtime issues such as unsafe headers, login weaknesses, and injection flaws without producing confusing or incomplete results.

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

dast-config 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 yesterday.

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.

DAST Tool Configuration

A structured, repeatable process for reviewing Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tool configurations against OWASP Top 10:2021 and the OWASP Testing Guide v4.2 (WSTG). This skill covers OWASP ZAP configuration, scan policy tuning, active vs. passive scanning, API scanning with OpenAPI import, authenticated scanning, CI/CD integration, scope management, and results deduplication. All findings map to OWASP Top 10 categories and WSTG test IDs.


When to Use

If a target is provided via arguments, focus the review on: $ARGUMENTS

  • Initial DAST deployment and scan policy configuration.
  • Review of existing DAST integration in CI/CD pipelines.
  • Authenticated scanning setup or troubleshooting.
  • API security testing configuration (REST, GraphQL).
  • DAST results triage workflow design.
  • Compliance audits requiring dynamic testing evidence (PCI DSS 6.3.2, SOC 2).

Context

DAST tools test running applications by sending crafted HTTP requests and analyzing responses for vulnerability indicators. Unlike SAST, DAST finds runtime issues: misconfigured headers, authentication flaws, and injection vulnerabilities that survive to deployment. OWASP Testing Guide v4.2 (WSTG) defines 91 test cases across 11 categories -- DAST tools automate a subset of these. OWASP Top 10:2021 provides the risk-based prioritization framework. The challenge is configuration: an unconfigured DAST scan produces noise (thousands of informational findings), misses authenticated surfaces, and may destabilize target environments. Proper tuning transforms DAST from a checkbox exercise into a meaningful security gate.

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.

dast-config is a skill published in the GitHub repository UnitOneAI/SecuritySkills (56 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 6,428 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
