​
Purpose

The recon-guardrail command lets you detect whether a target system has a guardrail in place before committing to deeper testing. Based on the findings from this tool, you can then customise your tests to attempt bypasses, adjust payload strategies for deeper assessment.

​
Usage

After you have logged into your Mindgard account in the CLI, run: 
mindgard recon-guardrail --config-file {YOUR_CONFIG.toml}
Arguments --config-file(required) : Path to your TOML configuration file. More information on configuration files can be found here.

​
When to use it

  • Early in an engagement to determine if guardrails are present.
  • To plan follow-up tests more efficiently based on the presence or absence of guardrails.
