Content & endpoint discovery

SkillAI & models

Discover hidden paths, endpoints, params, and JS-exposed routes on a web target. Load after a live host is found, on "dirbust/content discovery/fuzzing", or when mapping an app's real surface. Signals: a single web host to deep-map, SPA with API calls, /api, JS bundles.

Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the Content & endpoint discovery skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by noorqureshi/sploitagent in skills/recon/recon-content-discovery/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

When it applies

You have a live host and need its real surface: hidden dirs, backups, admin panels, API routes, and parameters — the inputs every other skill tests.

Why it works

Apps expose far more than the UI links to. Historical URLs, JS bundles, and predictable paths reveal endpoints (and params) that were never meant to be public or were left from old versions.

Method

  1. Passive URL mining first: gau target.com + waybackurls pull historical URLs (old params, deprecated endpoints) with zero requests to the target.
  2. Crawl, incl. JS: katana -u https://target -jc -kf all or gospider to extract links and endpoints embedded in JavaScript (SPAs hide the API here).
  3. Directory/file brute: feroxbuster -u https://target -w raft-medium-directories.txt -x php,txt,bak,zip,json — recursive; add extensions matching the stack.
  4. Parameter discovery: arjun -u https://target/endpoint finds hidden GET/POST params that feed injection tests (XSS/SQLi/IDOR).
  5. Rank findings: admin/upload/import/debug/graphql/swagger routes and anything with params go to the front of the hunting queue.

Gotchas

  • Auto-calibrate against soft-404s (ffuf -ac, ferox filters) or you'll drown in false 200s.
  • Respect rate limits/program rules — throttle (-t, --rate-limit) on live targets.
  • Pull params from JS and wayback; each finds ones the other misses.
