testing-handbook

testing-handbook is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from woohyun212/security-skill. It costs 36 tokens per session (3,393 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-testing handbook covering fuzzing, sanitizers, and static analysis. Fuzzing feeds varied or malformed input to code, sanitizers detect certain runtime errors, and static analysis examines source code without running it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before shipping parsers, deserializers, or network handlers; when auditing C or C++ code; or when setting up continuous fuzzing and crash triage. It covers tools including AFL++, libFuzzer, Honggfuzz, ASan, MSan, UBSan, TSan, Semgrep, and CodeQL.
Why use it?
It gives a structured way to find and investigate bugs such as buffer overflows, use-after-free errors, and uninitialized reads. It also explains how to interpret crashes and analysis reports.

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 semgrep --config p/c --lang c ./src/ 2>/dev/null | grep -E "(buffer|memcpy|strcpy|sprintf|gets)" | head -40.

Install

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.

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 A, and why

testing-handbook scanned grade A with 0 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 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 297 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

What this skill does

Guides structured security testing across three pillars: Fuzzing (AFL++, libFuzzer, Honggfuzz), Sanitizers (ASan, MSan, UBSan, TSan), and Static Analysis (Semgrep, CodeQL, Clang Static Analyzer). Covers harness writing, corpus management, crash triage, sanitizer compilation flags, output interpretation, and mapping discovered vulnerabilities to MITRE ATT&CK techniques. Adapted from the Trail of Bits Testing Handbook methodology.

When to use

  • Before shipping a parser, deserializer, network handler, or any code that processes untrusted input
  • When auditing a C/C++ codebase for memory safety issues (buffer overflows, use-after-free, uninitialized reads)
  • When a code review or SAST scan flags a high-risk function that needs empirical validation
  • When setting up a continuous fuzzing pipeline (CI integration, corpus persistence)
  • When triage is needed on a crash or sanitizer report of unknown severity

Prerequisites

Tool Install Notes
AFL++ apt install afl++ or build from source Recommended fuzzer for binary targets
libFuzzer Bundled with Clang/LLVM (≥ 6.0) In-process fuzzer; requires harness
Honggfuzz apt install honggfuzz or go install github.com/google/honggfuzz Good for network/persistent mode
Clang/LLVM apt install clang Required for sanitizer instrumentation
Semgrep pip install semgrep SAST; free community rules available
CodeQL CLI Download from github.com/github/codeql-action SAST; requires CodeQL database build
Clang Static Analyzer Bundled with Clang Lightweight SAST via scan-build

Inputs

Item Description Example
TARGET_FUNCTION Function(s) or code path(s) to test parse_http_request(), deserialize_json()
TARGET_BINARY Compiled target or library under test ./build/libparser.so, ./bin/server
CORPUS_DIR Directory of seed inputs for the fuzzer ./corpus/, ./tests/fixtures/
LANGUAGE Primary language of the target C, C++, Rust, Go
BUILD_FLAGS Sanitizer and instrumentation flags -fsanitize=address,undefined -g

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.

testing-handbook is a skill published in the GitHub repository woohyun212/security-skill (21 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 3,393 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
