Improvements and Advanced Techniques
- I will keep updating this section with new improvements, advanced techniques, and practical additions.
Agent Skill
Install a portable Agent Skill to use this knowledge base from Cursor, Claude and other agents for Agentic testing, Secure Coding and knowledgebase.
Who it's for: bug hunters, security testers, and penetration testers running real engagements through an agent, not just browsing static docs. Ground rules keep autonomous use safe: authorization is confirmed before active testing, high-impact actions are gated, findings pass a false-positive check before being drafted, and automated requests are paced to respect program rate limits.
