Recon Skills is a pack of security-testing skills covering reconnaissance, web applications, APIs, authentication, vulnerability validation, cloud infrastructure, and reporting. Security professionals use it for authorized assessments of systems they own or have written permission to test. The catalogue entries are individual skills from the pack.
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.

SkillSpector: 4 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 →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00118 | $0.04501 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00059 | $0.02250 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00900 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00450 |
Grade A, and why
hunt-ldap 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 6d 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.

HUNT-LDAP — LDAP Injection & XPath Injection
Grounding note: LDAP injection is rarely disclosed with verbatim payloads on public platforms (most live on internal-pentest reports). This skill is grounded in the OWASP LDAP Injection Prevention / Testing Guide (WSTG-INPV-06), PortSwigger Web Security Academy (LDAP injection), and the RFC 4515 filter grammar — all publicly verifiable references rather than invented HackerOne IDs. Do not cite a report you cannot link.
Crown Jewel Targets
LDAP injection that bypasses authentication = Critical. Blind attribute exfiltration of credentials/secrets = High. AD enumeration alone = Medium-High.
Highest-value chains:
- LDAP auth bypass — close the
uidfilter and append an always-true OR so the bind/search returns the admin entry without a valid password. - Blind attribute exfil — char-by-char extraction of an attribute value via a boolean oracle (login success/failure, result count, or response length).
- userPassword hash exfil (non-AD only) — on OpenLDAP/389-DS the
userPasswordattribute can hold{SSHA}/{CRYPT}hashes that ARE readable by query. See the AD-vs-generic warning below. - XPath injection auth bypass —
' or '1'='1against XML-backed auth.
CRITICAL — Active Directory vs generic LDAP
Do not conflate the two. They behave very differently:
| Generic LDAP (OpenLDAP, 389-DS, ApacheDS) | Active Directory | |
|---|---|---|
| Password attribute | userPassword — may hold {SSHA}/{MD5}/{CRYPT} and is readable if ACL allows |
unicodePwd — write-only, never returned by any search |
| Hash exfil via injection | Possible where ACLs leak userPassword |
Not possible — there is no readable hash attribute over LDAP |
| Useful enum attrs | uid, cn, mail, userPassword |
sAMAccountName, userPrincipalName, mail, memberOf, description (often holds plaintext secrets!) |
Do not tell a reader that blind LDAP injection yields AD password hashes — it
does not. unicodePwd is write-only. Against AD, the win is enumeration
(sAMAccountName, memberOf, description/info fields that admins misuse to
store passwords) and auth bypass — not hash dumping. The hash-exfil technique
applies only to non-AD directories exposing userPassword.
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.
- 6d ago First seen · 347 lines · 118 tokens per session scan A 1f0d3cc0db28
hunt-ldap is a skill published in the GitHub repository uphiago/recon-skills (1,251 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 118 tokens to every session and 4,501 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
