Overview

This section is about the method

Nimbus Vault implements a methodology; it is not just a feature set. The three pages here are that methodology, described on its own terms.

• The CAVET Method — Component Analysis & Vulnerability Enumeration Technique: the component ontology and the Observe → Probe → Reason → Test workflow.
• Contextual Hacking — the mindset: hunt the context that creates vulnerabilities, rather than forcing vulnerability classes onto targets.
• Chain Recognition — how earned capabilities turn isolated findings into compound attack paths.
• Worked Chains — three real compound attacks, retold in component terms.

Everything the product does — the library, the playbooks, the engine, the checklist — exists to make this way of working systematic. If you want the practical version, start with the Authoring Guide; if you want to know why any of it is shaped the way it is, read on here.
