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: 5 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 Supply Chain · line 57 Remote code is downloaded and executed. This bypasses code review and could introduce malicious code.Fix: Avoid downloading and executing remote scripts. Use trusted packages from PyPI/npm. If remote fetch is required, verify checksums and use HTTPS.
- high YARA Match · line 201 YARA rule matched a hack tool or exploit indicator (offensive tools, reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or exploit frameworks).Fix: Remove offensive tool references and exploit code. Legitimate agent skills should not contain penetration testing tools, exploit frameworks, or reconnaissance utilities.
- medium Tool Misuse · line 69 Tool defaults are unsafe or overly permissive (e.g. disabled TLS verification, no authentication, world-writable permissions). Unsafe defaults widen the attack surface.Fix: Override unsafe defaults with secure settings (verify=True, auth required, restrictive permissions). Review and harden all tool configurations.
- medium Data Exfiltration · line 130 Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.

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 | $0.00024 | $0.02583 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.01291 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00517 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00258 |
Grade C, and why
scada-hikvision-isapi 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 11d 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.

SCADA Hikvision ISAPI Enumeration
Enumerate Hikvision ISAPI (Intelligent Security Application Programming Interface) endpoints on industrial control and surveillance web interfaces. Hikvision devices and HikCentral Professional deployments expose a rich REST/XML API at predictable paths. While most endpoints require authentication (CAS session token, Basic auth, or Digest auth), unauthenticated enumeration reveals the device type, firmware baseline, available modules, and potential attack surface. JavaScript bundles often contain the full ISAPI route tree.
When to Use
- A web interface on a non-standard port (443, 8443, 9443) loads a large JavaScript bundle with references to
/ISAPI/,Bumblebee, orStreaming/channels. - Port scan reveals RTSP (554), ONVIF (8899), or Hikvision-specific ports (8000, 9010).
- The server header or SSL certificate references Hikvision, HikCentral, iVMS, or Pyramid.
- A target has industrial/energy/infrastructure context where SCADA systems are likely.
- The web client loads
Common/common.js,Common/components.js, orCommon/vendorGraph.jsfrom a relative path.
Prerequisites
terminalwith curl, python3, and nmap.- Access to the web interface (even without authentication).
- The target serves JavaScript bundles — download them for endpoint extraction.
Quick Detection
# Fingerprint the web interface
curl --max-time 30 --connect-timeout 10 -skI "https://TARGET:PORT/" | grep -iE "server|x-powered"
# Download the main JS bundle and scan for ISAPI endpoints
curl --max-time 30 --connect-timeout 10 -sk "https://TARGET:PORT/" | grep -Eo 'src="([^"]+\.js[^"]*)"' | while read -r match; do
js_url=$(echo "$match" | grep -Eo '(\./[^"]+\.js[^"]*|/[^"]+\.js[^"]*)')
[ -n "$js_url" ] && curl --max-time 30 --connect-timeout 10 -sk "https://TARGET:PORT$js_url" | grep -Eo '/ISAPI/[^"'\''\s]{5,80}' | sort -u
done
Procedure
Phase 1 — Endpoint Extraction from JS Bundles
Hikvision web clients embed the complete API route tree in JavaScript:
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.

scada-hikvision-isapi is a skill published in the GitHub repository uphiago/recon-skills (1,251 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 2,583 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
