analyzing-certificate-transparency-for-phishing

analyzing-certificate-transparency-for-phishing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pinkpixel-dev/skills-collection-1. It costs 39 tokens per session (2,798 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of analyzing-certificate-transparency-for-phishing, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for analyzing how malware communicates with its command-and-control servers. Command and control, or C2, is the channel attackers use to send instructions to infected systems and receive data back.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, or custom malware protocols, identify beacon patterns and commands, and connect servers, domains, and fallback infrastructure.
Why use it?
It helps turn captured network traffic and malware code into detection clues, even when the traffic is encoded or encrypted. This supports investigation, threat hunting, and infrastructure mapping.

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

analyzing-certificate-transparency-for-phishing scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/agent.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Analyzing Certificate Transparency for Phishing

Overview

Certificate Transparency (CT) is an Internet security standard that creates a public, append-only log of all issued SSL/TLS certificates. Monitoring CT logs enables early detection of phishing domains that register certificates mimicking legitimate brands, unauthorized certificate issuance for owned domains, and certificate-based attack infrastructure. This skill covers querying CT logs via crt.sh, real-time monitoring with Certstream, building automated alerting for suspicious certificates, and integrating findings into threat intelligence workflows.

When to Use

  • When investigating security incidents that require analyzing certificate transparency for phishing
  • When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
  • When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
  • When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.9+ with requests, certstream, tldextract, Levenshtein libraries
  • Access to crt.sh (https://crt.sh/) for historical CT log queries
  • Certstream (https://certstream.calidog.io/) for real-time monitoring
  • List of organization domains and brand keywords to monitor
  • Understanding of SSL/TLS certificate structure and issuance process

Key Concepts

Certificate Transparency Logs

CT logs are cryptographically assured, publicly auditable, append-only records of TLS certificate issuance. Major CAs (Let's Encrypt, DigiCert, Sectigo, Google Trust Services) submit all issued certificates to multiple CT logs. As of 2025, Chrome and Safari require CT for all publicly trusted certificates.

Phishing Detection via CT

Attackers register lookalike domains and obtain free certificates (often from Let's Encrypt) to make phishing sites appear legitimate with HTTPS. CT monitoring detects these early because the certificate appears in logs before the phishing campaign launches, providing a window for proactive blocking.
