Denial of Service Analysis

Analyze source code for denial of service threats where attackers can disrupt or degrade service availability. Maps to STRIDE D -- violations of the Availability security property.

Supported Flags

Read ../../shared/schemas/flags.md for the full flag specification. This skill supports all cross-cutting flags including --scope, --depth, --severity, --format, --fix, --quiet, and --explain.

Framework Context

Read ../../shared/frameworks/stride.md, specifically the D - Denial of Service section, for the threat model backing this analysis. Key concerns: resource exhaustion (CPU, memory, disk, network), algorithmic complexity attacks, application crashes, zip bombs.

Workflow

1. Determine Scope

Parse flags and resolve the target file list per the flags spec. Filter to files handling external input processing:

• API endpoints and route handlers (especially public/unauthenticated ones)
