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.

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 5.1 | $0.00117 | $0.02755 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00059 | $0.01378 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00551 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00276 |
Grade D, and why
ops-proxyns scanned grade D with 3 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 8d 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.
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y tor proxychains4 git make gcc curl Downloads and executes remote codehighSupply chain
curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.
curl --max-time 30 --connect-timeout 10 -s --proxy "http://127.0.0.1:8080" "https://httpbin.org/ip" 2>/dev/null | python3 -m json.tool 2>/dev/null || echo "NOTE: no proxy configured locally" Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

OPS-PROXYNS — Kernel-Level Proxy / OPSEC Protection
Why proxy-ns Over proxychains
| Feature | proxychains | proxy-ns |
|---|---|---|
| Covers Go/Rust static binaries | NO (LD_PRELOAD fails) | YES (kernel namespace) |
| DNS leak protection | Partial | Complete |
| UDP isolation | NO | YES |
| Bypassable by app | YES (direct socket) | NO |
| IPv6 leak | Common | Blocked |
| All traffic types | TCP only | TCP+UDP+DNS+ICMP |
proxy-ns uses Linux network namespaces to route ALL traffic from a process through a Tor proxy. The application has no way to detect or bypass it — it sees only the Tor exit node's IP.
Installation
# Prerequisites
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y tor proxychains4 git make gcc curl
# Clone and build proxy-ns
git clone https://github.com/OkamiW/proxy-ns.git /tmp/proxy-ns
cd /tmp/proxy-ns
CGO_ENABLED=0 make
sudo cp proxy-ns /usr/local/bin/
# Configure Tor
sudo tee /etc/tor/torrc << 'EOF'
SOCKSPort 9050
ControlPort 9051
CookieAuthentication 0
DataDirectory /var/lib/tor
EOF
# Restart Tor
sudo systemctl restart tor 2>/dev/null || sudo tor &
sleep 3
Basic Usage
# Run a single command through Tor
sudo proxy-ns curl --max-time 30 --connect-timeout 10 -s ifconfig.me
# Output: [Tor exit node IP]
# Run a full shell through Tor (ALL commands go through Tor)
sudo proxy-ns $SHELL
# Inside the proxy-ns shell:
curl --max-time 30 --connect-timeout 10 -s ifconfig.me # Tor IP
nmap -sT target.com # Works (Go binary)
masscan 10.0.0.0/24 -p80 --rate 100 # Works
python3 -c "import requests; print(requests.get('https://ifconfig.me').text)" # Works
whois target.com # Works (DNS queries also routed through Tor)
Tor Circuit Rotation
# Rotate to a new exit node IP
echo -e "AUTHENTICATE\r\nSIGNAL NEWNYM\r" | nc -w1 127.0.0.1 9051
sleep 2
# Verify new IP
sudo proxy-ns curl --max-time 30 --connect-timeout 10 -s ifconfig.me
Automated Rotation Script
#!/bin/bash
# rotate-tor.sh — Rotate Tor circuit and wait for new IP
rotate() {
echo -e "AUTHENTICATE\r\nSIGNAL NEWNYM\r" | nc -w1 127.0.0.1 9051
sleep $(awk -v min=3 -v max=8 'BEGIN{srand(); print int(min+rand()*(max-min+1))}')
}
NEW_IP=$(sudo proxy-ns curl --max-time 30 --connect-timeout 10 -s ifconfig.me 2>/dev/null)
echo "[+] New Tor IP: $NEW_IP"
# Usage: rotate between every N requests
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.

ops-proxyns is a skill published in the GitHub repository uphiago/recon-skills (1,254 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 117 tokens to every session and 2,755 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
