Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a security skill usually runs scanners and checks websites.

Simulates SSL stripping / HTTPS downgrade attacks using sslstrip, Bettercap, and mitmproxy in authorized lab environments to test HSTS enforcement, certificate validation, and HTTPS upgrade mechanisms. Use when performing an authorized penetration test to validate HSTS preloading and TLS certificate handling, demonstrate downgrade-attack risk to stakeholders, or train SOC teams to detect SSL stripping indicators in network traffic.

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