enterprise-vpn-attack

Gives your AI agent ready-made instructions for a specific task, so it does it better and faster.

What it does

This tool helps identify and test vulnerabilities in corporate VPN systems. It checks if a VPN server is exposed and if it has known security flaws.

When to use it

  • ✓When investigating a new network target to find entry points.
  • ✓To check the security of a VPN server before using it.
  • ✓In authorized security tests to find weaknesses in VPNs.

Example of what to ask your AI

“Check if the VPN server at [VPN address] has any known vulnerabilities.”

Ready-to-paste message

Use this skill to help me: https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills/blob/main/plugins/agentic-awesome-skills-claude/skills/enterprise-vpn-attack/SKILL.md Read the SKILL.md file at that link and follow its instructions for my task.
How it works

The tool sends specific requests to the VPN address to identify the server type and look for known security flaws. It compares the responses against a database of vulnerabilities.

Installation

Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.

In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill enterprise-vpn-attack

Or download just the file:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills/main/plugins/agentic-awesome-skills-claude/skills/enterprise-vpn-attack/SKILL.md -o SKILL.md
Technical content (original SKILL.md)

⚠️ AUTHORIZED USE ONLY This skill is for educational purposes or authorized security assessments only. You must have explicit, written permission from the system owner before using this tool. Misuse of this tool is illegal and strictly prohibited.

Mandatory confirmation gate Before running any command that probes, exploits, changes, persists on, extracts data from, or attempts credential access against a target:

  1. Ask the user to state the exact target URL, IP, account, or resource.
  2. Ask the user to confirm written authorization and the permitted scope.
  3. Show the exact command(s) and explain their expected effect.
  4. Wait for explicit confirmation in the current conversation.

Without that confirmation, remain read-only and provide defensive guidance only. Prefer a sandbox, disposable VM, or controlled lab.

When to use this skill

Trigger when recon surfaces:

  • *.<client>.example/+CSCOE+/logon.html or similar +CSCOE+ paths → Cisco ASA / AnyConnect
  • intranet.* / vpn.* / connect.* / webvpn.* / wc.* / remote.* subdomains
  • Port 443 returning login pages with Server: Apache or banner like "AnyConnect", "FortiGate", "NetScaler", "GlobalProtect", "Pulse", "Ivanti"
  • TCP 8443 / 4443 / 10443 / 8888 (common VPN web-mgmt ports)
  • HTTP responses with Set-Cookie: webvpn= (Cisco) / SVPNCOOKIE= (Fortinet) / NSC_AAA= (Citrix) / DSAuthSession= (Pulse) / BIGipServer* (F5)

DO NOT use for:

  • Internal lateral-movement post-foothold (out of scope per user's boundary)
  • VPN client-side bugs (different attack class)
  • IPsec / L2TP / OpenVPN (different protocols, not SSL VPN web stack)

Vendor identification (fingerprinting)

Cisco ASA / AnyConnect

curl -skI 'https://target/+CSCOE+/logon.html' | head -10
# Look for: Set-Cookie: webvpn=; X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN; CSP: ... block-all-mixed-content
# Login page contains: "AnyConnect", "CSCOE", "logon.html"

ASA version: not banner-disclosed in modern builds; need to derive from JS file paths or test specific paths.

# Path-based version hints (older builds leaked builds in URLs)
curl -sk 'https://target/+CSCOE+/sdesktop/scan-finalize?path=test'
curl -sk 'https://target/+CSCOE+/saml/sp/metadata'         # 200 = SAML auth enabled
curl -sk 'https://target/CSCOSSLC/config-auth'             # AnyConnect handshake endpoint

Fortinet FortiGate / FortiOS

curl -skI 'https://target/remote/login' | head -10
# Look for: Set-Cookie: SVPNCOOKIE=, Server header missing or "xxxxxxxx-xxxxx"
# Login page contains: "FortiGate", "Fortinet", "SSL-VPN"

Version: /remote/info sometimes leaks (older), or /login?username= 302 response

Citrix NetScaler / ADC / Gateway

curl -skI 'https://target/' | head -10
# Look for: Set-Cookie: NSC_AAA=, Set-Cookie: NSC_USER=, Server: NetScaler
# Login page contains: "NetScaler", "Citrix Gateway"

# Version banner
curl -sk 'https://target/vpn/index.html' | grep -oE 'NetScaler/[0-9.]+|NS[0-9.]+'
curl -sk 'https://target/menu/neo'                # 200 if vulnerable to CVE-2019-19781 era

Palo Alto GlobalProtect

curl -skI 'https://target/global-protect/login.esp' | head -10
# Look for: Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID= (yes, GP uses PHP), Server: Apache (PA-VM internal)
# Page contains: "GlobalProtect Portal", "PAN-OS"

# Version banner via login page
curl -sk 'https://target/global-protect/login.esp' | grep -oE 'GlobalProtect Portal[\s\S]{0,200}'
# Or check meta tag
curl -sk 'https://target/global-protect/login.esp' | grep -oE 'panui-[0-9.]+'

Pulse Secure / Ivanti Connect Secure

curl -skI 'https://target/dana-na/auth/url_default/welcome.cgi' | head -10
# Look for: Set-Cookie: DSAuthSession=, DSPREAUTH=
# Page contains: "Pulse Secure" or "Ivanti Connect Secure"

# Version
curl -sk 'https://target/dana-na/auth/url_default/welcome.cgi' | grep -oE 'Pulse Connect Secure[^<]*|ivanti[^<]*[0-9.]+'

SonicWall NetExtender / SMA

curl -skI 'https://target/cgi-bin/welcome' | head -10
# Look for: Set-Cookie: swap=, swapauth=
# Page contains: "SonicWall", "NetExtender", "SMA"

F5 Big-IP / APM

curl -skI 'https://target/my.policy' | head -10
# Look for: Set-Cookie: BIGipServer*, MRHSession=
