  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 2 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by HoangNguyen0403 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Common Dast Tooling AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard.git /tmp/agent-skills-standard
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/agent-skills-standard/skills/common/common-dast-tooling .claude/skills/common-dast-tooling
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Common Dast Tooling in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Common Dast Tooling on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Common Dast Tooling is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

DAST Tooling Standard

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

Always-Apply Rules

  • No Scanning Production: Never run DAST tools against live production environments. Use local or staging replicas only.
  • No Uncapped Scans: Always set max-depth or max-duration to avoid infinite loops on dynamic routes.
  • No Anonymous Probing: Use authenticated headers (Authorization) to test protected surfaces, not public ones.
  • No Mobile on Real Devices in Prod: Use emulators/simulators for mobile interception testing.

1. Backend / API Tools

Scanner Tools

See implementation guide for setup commands.

  • Nuclei: Fast, template-based CVE/misconfiguration scanning.
  • ZAP-CLI: Deep spidering for SQLi, XSS, CSRF, session issues.
  • Nikto: Server configuration audit (version disclosure, headers).
  • sqlmap: Automated SQL injection detection and exploitation (suggest only — human confirms).
  • ffuf / feroxbuster: Content discovery and endpoint fuzzing.

API-Specific Probing

  • GraphQL: Introspection query, nested query depth attack, field suggestion enumeration.
  • gRPC: grpcurl for service enumeration and method probing.
  • WebSocket: Connection hijacking, message injection testing.

2. Frontend / Web Tools

  • Browser DevTools: Network tab for auth token leakage, console for client-side errors.
  • Playwright/Puppeteer (suggested): Automated DOM XSS detection, form submission, CSRF testing.
  • Lighthouse: Security/performance audit (CSP, HTTPS, mixed content).
  • CSP Evaluator: Validate Content-Security-Policy headers.

3. Mobile Interception Tools

  • mitmproxy / Burp Suite: Proxy mobile traffic for API inspection.
  • Frida: Runtime instrumentation for cert pin bypass, biometric bypass, jailbreak detection bypass.
  • adb / xcrun simctl: Device-level inspection, deep link testing, storage extraction.
  • Objection: Mobile runtime exploration (iOS/Android).

4. AI-Driven curl Probing (Manual Fallback)

When automated tools unavailable, generate targeted curl probes:

  • Bypassing Guards: Probe with manipulated headers (X-Forwarded-For, X-Custom-Auth).
  • Data Leakage: Request /metrics, /health, .git, /.env, /api-docs.
  • Parameter Tampering: Modify payload types (String→Object), inject large payloads.
  • JWT Manipulation: Test with expired token, no token, modified claims.

See implementation guide for all commands.

Scoring Impact

FindingSeverityDeduction
Unauthenticated access to private dataP0-25
Successful SQLi/RCE via probeP0-20
Mobile API interception (no cert pin)P1-15
DOM XSS confirmed via browserP1-10
Info Leakage (Server versions/Env vars)P1-10
Missing security headers (CSP/HSTS)P2-5

Anti-Patterns

  • No relying solely on static analysis: Pentesting MUST include dynamic execution feedback.
  • No ignoring non-web protocols: Check Docker ports, SSH banners, gRPC/RMQ listeners.
  • No skipping mobile: If mobile app exists, proxy its traffic and inspect API calls.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Common Dast Tooling AI skill do?

Standardize dynamic application security testing for backend APIs, frontend web apps, and mobile clients. Covers ZAP, Nuclei, Nikto, sqlmap, ffuf, browser automation, mobile proxy interception, and AI-driven curl probes. Use when advising on or running dynamic security scans on local/staging environments.

Why use Common Dast Tooling on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Common Dast Tooling is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Common Dast Tooling in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard/tree/develop/skills/common/common-dast-tooling. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Common Dast Tooling?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Common Dast Tooling?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Common Dast Tooling with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Common Dast Tooling AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by HoangNguyen0403 under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
