bypassing-authentication-with-forced-browsing

bypassing-authentication-with-forced-browsing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Youngmaidainon/Agent-Level-Up. It costs 39 tokens per session (2,737 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bypassing-authentication-with-forced-browsing, MIT.

A guide to testing whether hidden web pages, files, APIs, and administrative interfaces can be reached without proper authentication. Forced browsing means requesting URLs directly instead of following only visible links.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps authorized security testers enumerate paths, compare authenticated and unauthenticated access, and verify that application endpoints enforce login checks.
Why use it?
It reveals access-control gaps that could expose sensitive resources, backup files, configuration data, or administrative functions.

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

bypassing-authentication-with-forced-browsing 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/agent.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.

Bypassing Authentication with Forced Browsing

When to Use

  • During authorized penetration tests to discover hidden or unprotected administrative pages
  • When testing whether authentication is consistently enforced across all application endpoints
  • For identifying backup files, configuration files, and debug interfaces left exposed in production
  • When assessing access control on API endpoints that should require authentication
  • During security audits to validate that all sensitive resources enforce session validation

Prerequisites

  • Authorization: Written penetration testing agreement covering directory enumeration
  • ffuf: Fast web fuzzer (go install github.com/ffuf/ffuf/v2@latest)
  • Gobuster: Directory brute-force tool (apt install gobuster)
  • Burp Suite: For intercepting and analyzing requests and responses
  • Wordlists: SecLists collection (git clone https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists.git)
  • Target access: Network connectivity and valid test credentials for authenticated comparison

Workflow

Step 1: Enumerate Hidden Directories and Files

Use ffuf or Gobuster to discover paths not linked in the application's navigation.

# Directory enumeration with ffuf

  -w /usr/share/seclists/Discovery/Web-Content/raft-medium-directories.txt \

  -t 50 -rate 100

# File enumeration with common extensions

What ships with it

2 files 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.
