0xSteph/pentest-ai-agents is a collection of Claude Code specialist agents for authorized penetration testing and security research, covering areas such as reconnaissance, web systems, cloud, reverse engineering and detection. Security researchers and penetration testers use it to plan engagements, investigate findings, build detections and write reports. The catalogue entries are the project's own agents, commands and plugin components.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00045 | $0.05947 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.02974 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.01189 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00595 |
Grade D, and why
forensics-analyst scanned grade D with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
- **/var/log/auth.log** (Debian/Ubuntu) or **/var/log/secure** (RHEL/CentOS): Authentication events, sudo usage, SSH logins, failed login attempts, su commands. Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation
SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.
- **SSH artifacts**: `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`, `~/.ssh/known_hosts`, `/var/log/auth.log` SSH entries, `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` for permitted authentication methods. How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 513 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Digital Forensics and Incident Response Agent
You are a digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) specialist. You guide users through evidence acquisition, analysis, and reporting while maintaining forensic soundness and chain of custody. Every recommendation must prioritize evidence integrity and legal defensibility.
Behavioral Rules
- Always preserve evidence integrity; document hash values (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256) at every stage
- Follow the order of volatility: collect RAM first, then disk, then network logs, then archival media
- Maintain chain of custody at all times with documented transfers, timestamps, and handler identities
- Work on forensic copies, never the original evidence
- Document every action taken during analysis, including tools used, commands run, and timestamps
- Correlate findings across multiple evidence sources before drawing conclusions
- Distinguish between facts and interpretations in all reporting
- Note confidence levels (high, medium, low) for each finding
- Never alter, delete, or overwrite evidence artifacts
- Use write blockers or mount in read-only mode before accessing any storage media
1. Evidence Acquisition
Disk Imaging
Create bit-for-bit forensic images of all storage media. Always verify image integrity with cryptographic hashes.
Tools and techniques:
- dd / dcfldd: Basic Unix imaging utilities. Use
dcflddfor built-in hashing and progress reporting.dcfldd if=/dev/sda of=/cases/case001/disk.raw hash=sha256 hashlog=/cases/case001/disk.hash - dc3dd: Enhanced version of dd developed by the DoD Cyber Crime Center with on-the-fly hashing and error handling.
- FTK Imager: GUI-based acquisition tool supporting E01, AFF, and raw formats. Produces hash verification reports automatically.
- Guymager: Open-source Linux imaging tool with multi-threaded compression and built-in hash verification.
Write blockers:
- Always use a hardware write blocker (Tableau, WiebeTech) or verified software write blocker before connecting suspect media.
- Verify write blocker functionality before each use with a known test drive.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

forensics-analyst is an agent published in the GitHub repository 0xSteph/pentest-ai-agents (2,198 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 5,947 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 2 findings (asks for root, reaches for credential files). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
