Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "pentest SSH services", "enumerate SSH configurations", "brute force SSH credentials", "exploit SSH vulnerabilities", "perform SSH tunneling", or "audit SSH security". It provides comprehensive SSH penetration testing methodologies and techniques.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'ssh-penetration-testing' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'ssh-penetration-testing' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named ssh-penetration-testing already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'a6e6f93e9a4baaa6ff337aee5505bf5c2bae4ce6' -- 'cli-tool/components/skills/security/ssh-penetration-testing' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'cli-tool/components/skills/security/ssh-penetration-testing' ~/.agents/skills/'ssh-penetration-testing' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'ssh-penetration-testing' ~/.claude/skills/'ssh-penetration-testing' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
