exploiting-aws-with-pacu

72 / 100 · Review before installing

Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a security skill usually runs scanners and checks websites.

By mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills (GitHub) · security · 35,906 stars · scanned at commit 54a7988

Runs the Pacu AWS exploitation framework end-to-end — session and credential setup, IAM enumeration, automated privilege-escalation scanning via iam__privesc_scan, and persistence/backdooring modules like iam__backdoor_users_keys. Use for authorized AWS penetration tests or red-team engagements, assessing blast radius from a compromised IAM credential, or generating attacker telemetry for purple-team detection testing.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'exploiting-aws-with-pacu' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'exploiting-aws-with-pacu' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named exploiting-aws-with-pacu 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 "$d" checkout --quiet '54a798831d2266a3ca61ce68a7acb80b81160d57' -- 'skills/exploiting-aws-with-pacu' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/exploiting-aws-with-pacu' ~/.agents/skills/'exploiting-aws-with-pacu' && 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/'exploiting-aws-with-pacu' ~/.claude/skills/'exploiting-aws-with-pacu' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
