How this template works
APIs Selection
The API selection filters in this template specify the criteria for selecting the APIs to be tested. In this case, the filters include the response code range (between 200 and 299) and the URL extraction variable.
Execute request
The execute section of the template defines the type of request to be executed. In this case, it is a single request. The request includes a modification of the URL using the URL paths defined in the wordLists section.
Validation
The validation section specifies the criteria for validating the response of the executed request. In this template, the validation checks that the response code is equal to 200 and that the response payload contains either "ssh-dss", "ssh-ed25519", "ssh-rsa", or "ecdsa-sha2-nistp256".
