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

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: http.kali.org, target.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides access to a comprehensive Kali Linux Docker container pre-loaded with over 200 pentesting tools. It allows an AI agent to execute commands directly within this container using bash_tool, enabling tasks like network scanning, vulnerability assessment, and other penetration testing activities. The skill leverages Docker for environment isolation and reproducibility, offering a token-efficient alternative to traditional MCP server approaches.

When to use it

  • Performing network scans on target IP addresses or ranges.
  • Running specific pentesting tools (e.g., Nmap) within a controlled environment.
  • Copying files into or out of the Kali Linux container for data manipulation and analysis.
  • Accessing a GUI-enabled Kali Linux environment via VNC or RDP.
  • Automating repetitive penetration testing tasks.

Key capabilities

  • Comprehensive Toolset: Includes over 200 pre-installed pentesting tools.
  • Direct Command Execution: Enables running commands directly within the Docker container using bash_tool.
  • Network Capabilities: Supports network scanning with options for raw socket access and host networking.
  • GUI Access: Provides options to run a VNC or RDP server for graphical interface access.
  • File Management: Facilitates copying files between the host machine and the container's workspace.

Example prompts

  • "Run an Nmap scan with service version detection against 192.168.1.1."
  • "Start a Kali Linux Docker container with network capabilities."
  • "Copy the file /results/scan.txt from the container to my local output directory."
  • "Open an interactive bash shell inside the Kali Linux container."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires familiarity with basic Docker commands and concepts.
  • Network scanning capabilities require appropriate permissions (e.g., --cap-add=NET_RAW, --network host).
  • The skill uses a pre-built kali-comprehensive image; customization beyond what's included requires modifying the container itself, which is outside the scope of this skill.
