HackSkills is an organized knowledge base of installable skills that gives AI agents practical security knowledge across areas such as web security, privilege escalation, reverse engineering, and digital forensics. It is intended for bug bounty work, penetration testing, CTF competitions, and authorized security research. The catalogue entries are the project's own master, category, and topic skills.
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 | $0.00055 | $0.03639 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.01819 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00728 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00364 |
Grade A, and why
ios-pentesting-tricks 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 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

SKILL: iOS Pentesting Tricks — Expert Attack Playbook
AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert iOS application security testing techniques. Covers jailbreak vs non-jailbreak methodology, keychain extraction, URL scheme/Universal Links abuse, Frida/Objection runtime hooks, binary protection checks, and data storage analysis. Base models miss protection class nuances and AASA misconfiguration patterns.

Before going deep, consider loading:
- mobile-ssl-pinning-bypass for in-depth SSL pinning bypass (SecTrust hooks, SSL Kill Switch, framework-specific techniques)
- android-pentesting-tricks when also testing the Android version of the same app
- api-sec for backend API security testing once traffic is intercepted
Advanced Reference
Also load IOS_RUNTIME_TRICKS.md when you need:
- Frida recipes for iOS-specific hooks (ObjC class enumeration, method swizzling)
- Objection command reference for iOS
- Runtime hooking patterns and bypass templates
1. JAILBREAK VS NON-JAILBREAK TESTING
| Capability | Jailbroken | Non-Jailbroken |
|---|---|---|
| SSL pinning bypass | Frida, SSL Kill Switch 2, Objection | Network debugging proxy, MITM profiles (limited) |
| Keychain access | keychain-dumper, Frida dump | Only via backup extraction (limited) |
| Filesystem inspection | Full access to app sandbox | Only via ideviceinstaller + backup |
| Runtime manipulation | Frida, Cycript, LLDB attach | Frida on sideloaded apps (re-signed) |
| Binary analysis | Class-dump, Hopper on-device | Decrypt IPA on Mac, analyze offline |
| Method hooking | Full Frida/Cycript capability | Limited (needs re-signed app + Frida gadget) |
Non-Jailbreak Testing Setup
# Extract IPA from device
ideviceinstaller -l # List installed apps
ios-deploy --id <UDID> --download --bundle_id com.target.app
# Or use frida-ios-dump for decrypted IPA (jailbroken)
python dump.py com.target.app
# Sideload with Frida gadget (non-jailbreak runtime hooking)
# 1. Extract IPA, 2. Insert FridaGadget.dylib into Frameworks/
# 3. Re-sign with valid profile, 4. Install via ios-deploy
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

ios-pentesting-tricks is a skill published in the GitHub repository yaklang/hack-skills (2,064 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 3,639 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
