overcast-attack-surface

overcast-attack-surface is a skill for Claude Code from kdr/overcast. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,539 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An authorized security-research tool for listing a target’s internet-facing computers, ports, software, certificates, and reported vulnerabilities using Shodan. Shodan is a search service that catalogs devices and services visible on the public internet.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inventory hosts by organization, network, domain, hostname, or IP address; save host reports; summarize exposure; and monitor for newly exposed services.
Why use it?
It replaces a scattered manual search with a structured view of what an organization exposes online. This helps reveal services or weaknesses that may need review, but it must only be used with 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

overcast-attack-surface 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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

overcast-attack-surface

Use this skill to inventory a target's internet-exposed infrastructure with Shodan: open ports, products/versions, banners, TLS certs, and known CVEs, keyed by org, network, hostname, or a single IP. Use the broad overcast skill and overcast/reference/verbs.md for exact flags.

⚠️ Authorized recon only. Shodan reports real hosts' exposed services and vulnerabilities. Run it only against infrastructure you are permitted to investigate. shodan is never a default source — you bind it deliberately.

Setup

overcast doctor --sources --json                          # confirm SHODAN_API_KEY is set
overcast case init --json
overcast case setup --target "<org or domain>" --yes --json
overcast source add 'shodan:org:"<Org Name>"' --json      # register the shodan source

Enumerate the surface

Each host hit carries ip/port/transport/org/product/cpe/os/vulns

  • geolocation in the payload; media.ref is the shodan.io/host/<ip> report page, so --pull stores a real evidence page. The ad-hoc --query overrides the bound ref, so one registered source serves every pivot.
overcast scan --source shodan --limit 25 --pull --json                         # the bound org query
overcast scan --source shodan --query 'net:<CIDR>' --limit 25 --pull --json     # pivot by IP range
overcast scan --source shodan --query 'ssl:<domain>' --limit 25 --pull --json   # pivot by TLS certificate
overcast scan --source shodan --query 'hostname:<domain>' --limit 25 --pull --json
overcast scan --source shodan --query '<ip>' --json                             # deep-dive ONE host: full service map

Useful filters for --query: org:"…", net:<CIDR>, ssl:<domain>, hostname:<domain>, product:<name>, port:<n>, country:<ISO2>, vuln:<CVE> (membership). Every service on a host is a distinct hit (the media.ref/url carry a #<port>-<transport> fragment), so monitor catches newly exposed ports on an already-seen IP.
