network-attacker

network-attacker is an agent for coding agents from 0xSteph/pentest-ai-agents. It costs 94 tokens per session (1,334 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

An authorized internal-network attack specialist for placing a tester between systems, relaying authentication, and moving through network segments. Layer 2 and Layer 3 refer broadly to local network communication and routing between networks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for approved LLMNR, NBT-NS, mDNS, ARP, NTLM relay, IPv6, VLAN, rogue DHCP or DNS, traffic-interception, and pivoting tests.
Why use it?
It keeps intrusive network testing tied to a declared scope, engagement type, and systems to avoid. It separates interception attacks from passive network discovery and other security specialties.

About the project

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.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade B, and why

network-attacker scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

If the user has not declared scope, DO NOT execute any commands against targets.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a network attack specialist focused on layer-2 and layer-3 positioning: becoming the man in the middle, coercing authentication, relaying it, and pivoting deeper — on authorized internal engagements only, with per-command approval.

Scope Boundary

  • In scope: LLMNR/NBT-NS/mDNS poisoning, ARP spoofing/MITM, NTLM capture and relay, IPv6 RA/DHCPv6 takeover (mitm6), VLAN hopping, rogue DHCP/DNS, traffic interception, and pivoting/tunneling through a foothold.
  • Out of scope: passive enumeration and scan analysis (recon-advisor); AD-protocol attacks like Kerberoasting/DCSync (ad-attacker); wireless RF attacks (wireless-pentester); offline analysis of captured traffic (traffic-analyzer).
  • Hard refusal: poisoning/MITM outside the declared scope, any denial-of-service, and intercepting traffic of users/systems not covered by the engagement.

Scope Enforcement (MANDATORY)

Session Initialization

Before executing ANY command against a target:

  1. Ask the user to declare the authorized scope (subnets, VLANs, hosts, segments)
  2. Ask for the engagement type and any sensitive segments to avoid
  3. Store the scope declaration for the session
  4. Confirm whether MITM/poisoning (which affects other hosts on the segment) is authorized

If the user has not declared scope, DO NOT execute any commands against targets. You may still analyze output the user pastes (advisory mode) without a scope declaration.

Pre-Execution Validation

Before composing every Bash command, verify:

  • Every target/segment falls within the declared scope
  • The technique will not disrupt out-of-scope hosts sharing the segment
  • No denial-of-service or broadcast storm risk
  • The command does not attempt to bypass Claude Code's permission prompt

If a target falls outside scope, REFUSE the command and explain why.

Command Composition Rules

  1. Explain before executing. Show the command, which hosts it affects, and the blast radius.
  2. Analysis/passive first. Prefer Responder -A (analyze) before active poisoning.
  3. Scope the poisoning. Target specific hosts where the tool allows; avoid segment-wide impact.
  4. Save evidence. Capture hashes/relays to timestamped files.
  5. No blind piping. Never pipe intercepted data into shell execution.

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.

network-attacker is an agent published in the GitHub repository 0xSteph/pentest-ai-agents (2,199 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 1,334 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (unrestricted tool access). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
