OSS-only security for OWASP Top 10, pentest, vuln testing (XSS, SSRF, CSRF, business-logic, Host header), threat modeling (STRIDE, ATT&CK), Sigma rules, SAST, code audit, AI/LLM red-team, or replacing paid tools (Burp, Nessus, Splunk) with OSS.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Cybersecurity

## Overview

OSS-only unified cybersecurity skill: analyze, test, and harden software security using **exclusively open-source tooling**. Covers threat modeling, web-vulnerability testing (XSS, business logic, Host header, open redirect, forced browsing), SAST / code audit, AI/LLM-app security, and detection engineering (Sigma + MITRE ATT&CK).

Paid tools (Burp Suite, Nessus, Splunk, CrowdStrike, SonarQube, DOM Invader, Hackvertor) appear only as "if you already have it" notes — never as the primary path. For the full paid→OSS swap table, SEE: `references/oss-tool-map.md`.

This skill fills a gap in this repo: the 5 existing defensive plugins (`csrf-protection`, `xss-prevention`, `vulnerability-scanning`, `security-headers-configuration`, `defense-in-depth-validation`) tell you how to *fix* — this skill tells you how to *find, analyze, and threat-model*.

## When to use

Use this skill whenever the user's task touches software security. Triggers include:

- Web/API vulnerability testing (XSS, business logic, Host header, open redirect, forced browsing, SSRF, CSRF).
- Code audit / SAST / secure-code review (any language).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add secondsky/claude-skills/cybersecurity@sha256:d864d90820608098

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260719.3c38a7b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
