Installs under a different name. Its SKILL.md names it SSH Penetration Testing, 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 "SSH Penetration Testing" -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.

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

Nobody has reviewed this code. TrustedSkills indexes and links skills; it does not audit, run or scan them. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent — read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to perform automated SSH penetration testing against remote servers. It facilitates the discovery of vulnerabilities, authentication bypasses, and insecure configurations within target systems.

When to use it

  • Conducting authorized security audits on internal infrastructure to identify weak access controls.
  • Simulating attacker scenarios to test an organization's incident response capabilities.
  • Validating the effectiveness of existing SSH hardening measures and key management policies.
  • Assessing the resilience of server configurations against brute-force and credential stuffing attacks.

Key capabilities

  • Automated scanning for open SSH ports and service versions.
  • Identification of weak or default passwords and credentials.
  • Detection of misconfigured sshd_config parameters allowing unauthorized access.
  • Simulation of exploitation techniques to verify system defenses.

Example prompts

  • "Run a comprehensive SSH penetration test on this target IP to identify any authentication vulnerabilities."
  • "Analyze the SSH configuration of the provided server log and suggest hardening steps based on common attack vectors."
  • "Simulate a brute-force attack scenario against the specified SSH port to evaluate our firewall rules."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have explicit written authorization before running this skill on any system, as unauthorized access attempts are illegal. Always verify that your test environment is isolated from production data to prevent accidental service disruption during vulnerability exploitation.
