offensive-bug-identification

offensive-bug-identification is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SnailSploit/Claude-Red. It costs 0 tokens per session (13,479 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A structured method for finding software bugs and security weaknesses through source-code review, black-box testing, data-flow tracing, and automated scanning. Black-box testing checks a program from the outside without relying on its internal code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for code audits, bug-bounty triage, vulnerability hunting, taint analysis, and setting up scanning workflows.
Why use it?
It gives code audits and vulnerability investigations a consistent checklist instead of relying on ad hoc searches. It helps connect untrusted input to risky operations.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh vmlinux /lib/modules/<ver>/build < dmesg.log.

Good fit Use it for code audits, bug-bounty triage, vulnerability hunting, taint analysis, and setting up scanning workflows.

About the project

claude-red is a library of structured skills that give Claude specialized offensive-security methods for areas such as web vulnerabilities, shellcode, exploit development, and identity systems. It is intended for authorized red-team work, bug-bounty triage, security research, CTF preparation, and operator training. Its catalogue contains the project's skills for loading these security specializations into Claude.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Server-Side Request Forgery · line 200
    Code accesses a cloud instance metadata endpoint (e.g. 169.254.169.254). A single request can return temporary IAM credentials, making this a high-value SSRF target for credential theft.
    Fix: Remove access to cloud metadata endpoints unless strictly required. If metadata is needed, restrict it (e.g. IMDSv2 with hop limit) and never expose returned credentials.
  • high Tool Misuse · line 691
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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 C, and why

offensive-bug-identification scanned grade C 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 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.

offensive-bug-identification is a skill published in the GitHub repository SnailSploit/Claude-Red (7,604 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 13,479 tokens. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (cloud metadata endpoint, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
