network-recon

network-recon is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from blacklanternsecurity/red-run. It costs 37 tokens per session (5,364 once invoked), scanned B, original, GPL-3.0.

A network-reconnaissance workflow that discovers hosts, scans ports, identifies operating systems, and maps available services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find reachable machines, open ports, running services, and likely operating systems.
Why use it?
It turns an unfamiliar network into a service map, helping the coordinating agent choose the right follow-up checks.

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-recon scanned grade B 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 4d 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.

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.
