Detect DLL side-loading and search-order hijacking (MITRE T1574) where adversaries plant malicious DLLs for legitimate signed applications to load, by analyzing Sysmon Event ID 7 DLL-load events, checking signatures/hashes against known-good versions, and flagging path anomalies with EDR tools like CrowdStrike, MDE, or SentinelOne. Use when investigating EDR alerts on unsigned DLLs, hunting for APT persistence via trojanized applications, or triaging incidents involving DLL hijacking.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'detecting-dll-sideloading-attacks' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'detecting-dll-sideloading-attacks' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named detecting-dll-sideloading-attacks already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '54a798831d2266a3ca61ce68a7acb80b81160d57' -- 'skills/detecting-dll-sideloading-attacks' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/detecting-dll-sideloading-attacks' ~/.agents/skills/'detecting-dll-sideloading-attacks' && 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/'detecting-dll-sideloading-attacks' ~/.claude/skills/'detecting-dll-sideloading-attacks' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
