Detects suspicious Windows service installations (MITRE ATT&CK T1543.003) by parsing System event log Event ID 7045, analyzing service binary paths, and flagging indicators of persistence mechanisms via Sysmon/EDR telemetry. Use when hunting for new-service persistence after a suspected compromise, when Event ID 7045 fires for an unfamiliar service, or during incident response to enumerate service-based persistence on Windows hosts.

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