Operant Security Testing

Username enumeration and credential brute-force.

First enumerates valid usernames (if failure messages differ), then brute-forces passwords against confirmed usernames.

Returns: {"username_enumeration": [{"username": str, "exists": bool}], "valid_credentials": [{"username": str, "password": str}], "requests_sent": int}.

Side effects: Sends login requests. May trigger account lockout.

Errors: Rate limiting may block requests. Use realistic credentials to avoid WAF detection.

Sends requests with tampered cookie values and checks for access.

Returns: {"results": [{"cookies": dict, "status": int, "length": int, "response_snippet": str}]}.

Side effects: Sends GET requests with manipulated cookies.

Returns results array with operator, payload, status, output_snippet, likely_vulnerable. Side effects: Read-only detection commands (id, whoami). Sends ~14 requests.

Test CORS misconfigurations: origin reflection, null origin trust, subdomain wildcards.

After each upload, attempts to access the uploaded file to check execution. Returns: {results: [{technique, upload_status, execution_status, output, successful}]}. Side effects: Uploads files to the server. May achieve remote code execution.

Test sandbox attribute bypass for JavaScript frame busters. Generates PoC HTML that uses iframe sandbox='allow-forms' to disable JavaScript execution (neutralizing frame-busting code) while still allowing form submission for clickjacking. Also checks if the target page contains common frame-busting patterns. Returns: {frame_buster_detected, patterns_found, sandbox_poc_html}. Side effects: Single GET request to detect frame-busting code.
