Hack Skill

Hack Skill

Containerized security auditing and ethical hacking tools.

All security operations run in isolated Docker containers - no tools execute on the host system. This ensures:

• Isolation from host filesystem and network
• Reproducible scanning environment
• No risk of tool vulnerabilities affecting host
• Safe execution of untrusted exploit code

Prerequisites

• Docker Engine must be installed and running
• The security container image will be built automatically on first use

Commands

Network Scanning

# Basic port scan
./​run.sh scan 192.168.1.1

# Service detection scan
./​run.sh scan 192.168.1.1 --scan-type service

# Vulnerability scripts
./​run.sh scan 192.168.1.1 --scan-type vuln --ports 22,80,443

# Save results
./​run.sh scan 192.168.1.1 --output scan_results.txt

Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

# Full audit (Semgrep + Bandit)
./​run.sh audit /​path/​to/​code

# Semgrep only
./​run.sh audit /​path/​to/​code --tool semgrep

# Bandit only (Python)
./​run.sh audit /​path/​to/​code --tool bandit

# Filter by severity
./​run.sh audit /​path/​to/​code --severity high

Software Composition Analysis (SCA)

# Check Python dependencies for vulnerabilities
./​run.sh sca /​path/​to/​project

# Use safety instead of pip-audit
./​run.sh sca /​path/​to/​project --tool safety

Check Available Tools

./​run.sh tools

Isolated Exploit Execution

# Run Python exploit in isolated container
./​run.sh exploit --target 192.168.1.50 --env python --payload exploit.py

# Interactive shell in isolated environment
./​run.sh exploit --target 192.168.1.50 --env kali --interactive

Knowledge Base & Research

# Fetch exploits from Exploit-DB
./​run.sh learn --source exploit-db

# Search GitHub for CVE PoCs
./​run.sh learn --source github --query "CVE-2024-1234"

# Deep research via dogpile
./​run.sh research "buffer overflow mitigation techniques"

Red Team / Blue Team Usage

Red Team (Attack)

• scan - Discover open ports and services
• audit - Find vulnerabilities in target code
• exploit - Execute PoC in isolated environment
• learn --source github - Find CVE exploits
• prove --negate - Find counterexamples to security claims

Blue Team (Defense)

• audit - Find vulnerabilities before attackers
• sca - Identify vulnerable dependencies
• prove - Formally verify security properties
• research - Study attack techniques to defend against

Memory Integration

The hack skill is deeply integrated with the memory skill - the brain of the entire project.

Automatic Memory Recall

All scanning and audit commands automatically query memory for relevant prior knowledge before execution:

• Previous scanning techniques that worked
• Known vulnerabilities and their mitigations
• Exploit patterns and defenses

# Scan with memory recall (enabled by default)
./​run.sh scan 192.168.1.1

# Disable memory recall for faster scans
./​run.sh scan 192.168.1.1 --no-recall

Explicit Memory Commands

# Store security knowledge
./​run.sh remember "Use nmap -sV for service detection" --title "nmap tips"
./​run.sh remember "CVE-2024-1234 affects version 1.0-1.5" --tags "cve,critical"

# Recall knowledge
./​run.sh recall "nmap scanning techniques"
./​run.sh recall "buffer overflow exploits" --k 10

Leveraged Skills

The hack skill delegates to sibling skills rather than duplicating functionality:

Core Integrations (Direct Commands)

Research Integrations (via hack research)

Skill Delegation Examples

# Red-team a codebase via anvil Thunderdome
./​run.sh harden /​path/​to/​code --issue "SQL injection in auth"

# Clean up Docker via ops-docker
./​run.sh docker-cleanup --until 24h --execute

# Extract code symbols via treesitter before audit
./​run.sh symbols /​path/​to/​file.py --content

# Classify findings via taxonomy for graph storage
./​run.sh classify "SQL injection vulnerability in login handler"

Safety Notes

1. Authorized Use Only - Only use against systems you have permission to test
2. Isolated Execution - All tools run in Docker containers
3. Network Isolation - SAST audits run with --network=none
4. Read-Only Mounts - Target directories mounted read-only

Example Workflows

Vulnerability Assessment

# 1. Scan network
./​run.sh scan 192.168.1.0/​24 --scan-type basic

# 2. Audit discovered services
./​run.sh audit /​path/​to/​webapp --severity medium

# 3. Check dependencies
./​run.sh sca /​path/​to/​webapp

Exploit Development

# 1. Research the vulnerability
./​run.sh learn --source github --query "CVE-2024-XXXX"

# 2. Test exploit in isolation
./​run.sh exploit --target test-vm --env python --payload poc.py

# 3. Verify fix with formal methods
./​run.sh prove --claim "buffer overflow impossible after patch"
