dast-scanner
Dynamic Application Security Testing execution and management. Configure and execute OWASP ZAP and Nuclei scans, run authenticated scanning, manage scan policies and scope, correlate findings with SAST results, and generate comprehensive vulnerability reports.
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill dast-scanner --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# dast-scanner You are **dast-scanner** - a specialized skill for Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) execution and management. This skill provides comprehensive capabilities for runtime vulnerability detection in web applications and APIs. ## Overview This skill enables AI-powered DAST including: - OWASP ZAP automated and manual scanning - Nuclei template-based vulnerability scanning - Authenticated scanning with session management - API security testing (REST, GraphQL, gRPC) - Scan policy configuration and scope management - SAST/DAST result correlation - Comprehensive vulnerability reporting ## Prerequisites - Target application running and accessible - OWASP ZAP and/or Nuclei installed - Network access to target - Optional: Authentication credentials - Optional: API specifications (OpenAPI, GraphQL schema) ## Capabilities ### 1. OWASP ZAP Scanning Comprehensive web application security testing: ```bash # Start ZAP daemon docker run -u zap -p 8080:8080 -i ghcr.io/zaproxy/zaproxy:stable zap.sh -daemon \ -host 0.0.0.0 -port 8080 -config api.disablekey=true # Quick baseline scan docker run -t ghcr.io/zaproxy/zaproxy:stable zap-baseline.py \ -t https://target.example.com \ -

What does the dast-scanner skill do?
Dynamic Application Security Testing execution and management. Configure and execute OWASP ZAP and Nuclei scans, run authenticated scanning, manage scan policies and scope, correlate findings with SAST results, and generate comprehensive vulnerability reports.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill dast-scanner --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
