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.

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 | $0.00064 | $0.03082 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.01541 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00616 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00308 |
Grade D, and why
traffic-analysis-pcap scanned grade D 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 3d 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.
Harvests environment variableshighData exfiltration
Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

SKILL: Traffic Analysis & PCAP — Expert Analysis Playbook
AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert traffic analysis and PCAP forensics techniques. Covers PCAP repair, Wireshark essential filters, protocol-specific analysis (HTTP, HTTPS/TLS, DNS, FTP, SMTP, USB HID, WiFi, ICMP), data extraction (file carving, credential harvesting, covert channels), NetworkMiner, and tshark CLI analysis. Base models miss USB keyboard decode patterns, DNS tunneling detection heuristics, and TLS decryption workflows.

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.

traffic-analysis-pcap is a skill published in the GitHub repository yaklang/hack-skills (2,098 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 3,082 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 2 findings (harvests environment variables, asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
