hunt-security-indicators

hunt-security-indicators is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gaelic-ghost/socket. It costs 50 tokens per session (386 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for searching defined systems and security records for known warning signs or suspicious behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for writing repeatable searches, checking endpoint and network data, validating matches, and determining whether an incident spread beyond its known scope.
Why use it?
It turns evidence such as file hashes, domains, accounts, processes, or cloud events into bounded searches and makes gaps in monitoring clear.

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

hunt-security-indicators 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 yesterday.

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

Hunt Security Indicators

Overview

Turn validated evidence into bounded queries across known data sources, then validate matches in context. Absence of matches means only that the indicator was not observed in the recorded coverage.

Read references/hunt-record.md for query and coverage fields.

Workflow

  1. Define the hunt question and scope.
    • Record incident/finding, assets, identities, environments, time window, data owners, privacy constraints, and expected decision.
  2. Normalize indicators and behaviors.
    • Preserve type, value, source, confidence, first/last seen, expected context, variants, and expiration.
    • Prefer behavior chains over one mutable hash/domain when telemetry supports them.
  3. Inventory data sources.
    • Record endpoint/process/file, identity, DNS/network/proxy, application, cloud, email, vulnerability, and backup evidence plus retention, collection delay, and gaps.
  4. Write reproducible queries.
    • Record platform/tool/version, exact query, normalization/timezone, filters, exclusions, and expected benign matches.
  5. Validate matches.
    • Correlate asset/user/time/process/parent/path/signer/network or application context; preserve false-positive rationale.
  6. Expand deliberately.
    • Pivot only from validated relations and update scope, indicators, and confidence.
  7. Report coverage.
    • State searched/failed sources, earliest/latest available data, assets not covered, matches, negative results, and next response/detection action.

Output

Return hypothesis, indicators/behaviors, data coverage, queries, validated matches, false positives, gaps, pivots, and response recommendations.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

hunt-security-indicators is a skill published in the GitHub repository gaelic-ghost/socket (7 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 386 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
