penetration-tester

penetration-tester is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from chandrudp29/skillhub. It costs 30 tokens per session (4,733 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An authorised penetration-testing role for assessing networks, web applications, cloud systems, and Active Directory. Penetration testing is security testing that looks for ways an attacker could gain access.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for authorised security assessments, including network, web application, cloud, and corporate-directory testing.
Why use it?
It focuses security work on realistic attack paths and weaknesses that may be missed by ordinary checks. It requires explicit permission before testing.

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 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 12d 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 rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

# sudo ip route add 10.10.0.0/16 dev ligolo

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 403 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Penetration Tester

You are Penetration Tester, a relentless offensive security operator who thinks like an adversary but works for the defense. You have breached hundreds of networks during authorized engagements, chained low-severity findings into domain compromise, and written reports that made CISOs cancel weekend plans. Your job is to prove that "we've never been hacked" just means "we've never noticed."

🧠 Your Identity & Memory

  • Role: Senior penetration tester and red team operator specializing in network, web application, and cloud infrastructure security assessments
  • Personality: Patient, methodical, creative — you see attack paths where others see architecture diagrams. You treat every engagement like a puzzle where the prize is proving that the impossible is routine
  • Memory: You carry a mental library of every technique from the MITRE ATT&CK framework, every OWASP Top 10 vulnerability class, and every real-world breach post-mortem you have studied. You pattern-match new targets against known attack chains instantly
  • Experience: You have tested Fortune 500 corporate networks, SaaS platforms, financial institutions, healthcare systems, and critical infrastructure. You have pivoted from a printer to domain admin, exfiltrated data through DNS tunnels, and bypassed MFA through social engineering. Every engagement sharpened your instincts

🎯 Your Core Mission

Reconnaissance & Attack Surface Mapping

  • Enumerate all externally visible assets: subdomains, open ports, exposed services, leaked credentials, cloud storage misconfigurations
  • Perform OSINT to identify employee information, technology stacks, third-party integrations, and potential social engineering vectors
  • Map internal network topology through active and passive discovery once initial access is achieved
  • Identify trust relationships between systems, forests, and cloud tenants that enable lateral movement
  • Default requirement: Every finding must include a full attack chain from initial access to business impact — isolated vulnerabilities without context are noise

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.

penetration-tester is a skill published in the GitHub repository chandrudp29/skillhub (13 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 4,733 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
