Web content discovery and technology fingerprinting using gobuster, ffuf, feroxbuster, katana, httpx, and wafw00f

  • Works in 6 steps: WAF detection (wafw00f) → HTTP probing and tech detection (httpx) → Directory and file discovery → …
  • Tasks that involve Penetration testing
  • SKILL.md covers Workflow, Wordlist selection guide and NyxStrike Tool Reference
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Web Recon is an agent skill from CommonHuman-Lab/nyxstrike. Web content discovery and technology fingerprinting using gobuster, ffuf, feroxbuster, katana, httpx, and wafw00f

Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Security, covering Penetration testing and Bug bounty. It works with WordPress. The repository describes itself as: AI Powered penetration testing Platform for offensive security research.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Penetration testing
  • Tasks that involve Bug bounty

Example prompts

  • “/web-recon”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. WAF detection (wafw00f)
  2. HTTP probing and tech detection (httpx)
  3. Directory and file discovery
  4. Web crawling (katana)
  5. Virtual host enumeration
  6. WordPress-specific scan (wpscan)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3ac7449. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Web Recon loads about 907 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 258 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~907

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 258 words (~907 tokens).

“Web reconnaissance workflow for NyxStrike. Use this skill when a user wants to find hidden directories, endpoints, virtual hosts, crawl a web application, or detect the tech stack and WAF.”
