Installs under a different name. Its SKILL.md names it Ethical Hacking Methodology, not the name it is listed under, so the command below uses that name.
  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill "Ethical Hacking Methodology" -a claude-code

  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

About this skill

Ethical Hacking Methodology

What it does

This skill provides a structured framework for AI agents to conduct security assessments and penetration testing on web applications. It guides the agent through systematic vulnerability identification, exploitation simulation, and comprehensive reporting to ensure thorough coverage of potential security risks.

When to use it

  • Pre-deployment audits: Run automated checks on new frontend builds before they reach production environments.
  • Vulnerability research: Investigate specific CVEs or known attack vectors within a codebase to understand impact.
  • Compliance verification: Ensure web applications meet security standards like OWASP Top 10 requirements.
  • Red teaming support: Simulate attacker behaviors to test the resilience of defensive mechanisms.

Key capabilities

  • Systematic vulnerability scanning and identification
  • Penetration testing workflow automation
  • Security risk assessment and prioritization
  • Detailed reporting generation for stakeholders
  • Attack vector simulation and exploitation analysis

Example prompts

"Analyze this React application codebase using ethical hacking methodology to identify potential XSS vulnerabilities." "Run a penetration test on our API endpoints following the structured approach defined in this skill." "Generate a security audit report highlighting critical flaws found during the simulated attack phase."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have explicit authorization before applying any testing methodologies to production systems, as simulated attacks can inadvertently trigger rate limits or expose sensitive data. This skill is designed for defensive security practices and should not be used for unauthorized access attempts.
