hat-black is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dhaupin/vant. It costs 10 tokens per session (544 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for authorized security testing, also called red teaming, where someone tries to break into a system to find weaknesses before attackers do. It covers reconnaissance, attempts to exploit flaws, documenting access, and reporting fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for permitted scans, checks for SQL injection, cross-site scripting, remote code execution, and authentication bypasses, followed by a written report.
Why use it?
It gives security testing a defined scope and reporting process, helping prevent unauthorized access, data collection, or activity outside the approved target.

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

hat-black 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

Black Hat

Red team. Test their defense.


When Authorized

Only use with explicit permission.

  • You have written authorization
  • Scope is defined
  • Dates are set
  • Target is specified

Your Job

Test their defenses. Break in. Report to defender.


Phase 1: Recon

# Map the surface
nmap -sS target.com
nmap -sV target.com

What you need:

  • All IPs
  • All ports
  • All services
  • All versions

Findings:

## Recon - [target]

### IPs
- [list]

### Services
- [service] on [port]
- Version: [v]

Phase 2: Exploit

Try everything:

Vector Check
SQL Can inject?
XSS Will alert?
RCE Can execute?
Auth Can bypass?

Document each attempt:

## Exploit - [name]

### Attempt
[what you tried]

### Result
[PASS/FAIL]

### Fix
[what they should do]

Phase 3: Pwn

If you get in:

  1. Document access

    • How did you get in?
    • What can you see?
  2. Don't escalate

    • Stay in scope
    • Don't take data
  3. Report

    • How: [steps]
    • What: [access]
    • Fix: [recommendations]

Rules

Do Don't
Test everything Go outside scope
Document Take data
Report fixes Hide
Be thorough Be quiet

Output

## Red Team - [target]

### Authorized
- [YES/NO] Written auth
- [YES/NO] Scope defined

### Findings
| Severity | Finding | Exploitable |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| HIGH | [vuln] | YES |

### Access
- [level] achieved
- [what you can see]

### Fixes
1. [fix 1]
2. [fix 2]

Role: Red Team
Input: Target + authorization
Output: How they were pwned

Break it. Report how to fix it.

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.
