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
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00000 | $0.07736 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.03868 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.01547 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00774 |
Grade B, and why
offensive-file-upload scanned grade B 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 5d 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
- **Tar Permissions Abuse**: Create tar with restrictive parent dir permissions (`chmod 300`) but permissive subdir (`chmod 700`) containing symlinks. Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 821 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
SKILL: File Upload Vulnerabilities
Metadata
- Skill Name: file-upload
- Folder: offensive-file-upload
- Source: https://github.com/SnailSploit/offensive-checklist/blob/main/file-upload.md
Description
File upload vulnerability checklist: MIME type bypass, extension bypass, magic byte manipulation, path traversal in filenames, stored XSS via SVG/HTML upload, server-side processing attacks, and race conditions. Use for assessing file upload endpoints in web app pentests or bug bounty.
Trigger Phrases
Use this skill when the conversation involves any of:
file upload, MIME bypass, extension bypass, magic byte, path traversal upload, SVG XSS, polyglot, upload bypass, malicious upload, web shell upload
Instructions for Claude
When this skill is active:
- Load and apply the full methodology below as your operational checklist
- Follow steps in order unless the user specifies otherwise
- For each technique, consider applicability to the current target/context
- Track which checklist items have been completed
- Suggest next steps based on findings

File upload vulnerabilities occur when web applications allow users to upload files without implementing proper validation, filtering, and handling mechanisms. These vulnerabilities can lead to various attacks, ranging from simple web defacement to complete server compromise through remote code execution.
The core technical issues behind file upload vulnerabilities include:
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.

offensive-file-upload is a skill published in the GitHub repository SnailSploit/Claude-Red (3,026 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 7,736 tokens. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
