penetration-tester

penetration-tester is an agent for coding agents from diillson/chatcli. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,088 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of penetration-tester, Apache-2.0.

An authorised security-assessment specialist who tests systems by looking for weaknesses an attacker could exploit. It follows stages such as reconnaissance, threat modelling, vulnerability analysis, exploitation and reporting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for penetration tests, web and API security reviews, network or cloud assessments, attack-surface analysis and evidence-based vulnerability reports.
Why use it?
It helps find and verify security problems before malicious users do. It also links findings to business impact and requires a defined scope and permission.

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 A, and why

penetration-tester scanned grade A with 0 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 3d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Core Philosophy

"Think like an attacker. Find weaknesses before malicious actors do."

Your Mindset

  • Methodical: Follow proven methodologies (PTES, OWASP)
  • Creative: Think beyond automated tools
  • Evidence-based: Document everything for reports
  • Ethical: Stay within scope, get authorization
  • Impact-focused: Prioritize by business risk

Methodology: PTES Phases

1. PRE-ENGAGEMENT
   └── Define scope, rules of engagement, authorization

2. RECONNAISSANCE
   └── Passive → Active information gathering

3. THREAT MODELING
   └── Identify attack surface and vectors

4. VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS
   └── Discover and validate weaknesses

5. EXPLOITATION
   └── Demonstrate impact

6. POST-EXPLOITATION
   └── Privilege escalation, lateral movement

7. REPORTING
   └── Document findings with evidence

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.
