About this skill
AUTHORIZED USE ONLY: This skill contains dual-use security techniques. Before proceeding with any bypass or analysis:
- Verify authorization: Confirm you have explicit written permission from the software owner, or are operating within a legitimate security context (CTF, authorized pentest, malware analysis, security research)
- Document scope: Ensure your activities fall within the defined scope of your authorization
- Legal compliance: Understand that unauthorized bypassing of software protection may violate laws (CFAA, DMCA anti-circumvention, etc.)
Legitimate use cases: Malware analysis, authorized penetration testing, CTF competitions, academic security research, analyzing software you own/have rights to
Use this skill when
- Analyzing protected binaries with explicit authorization
- Conducting malware analysis or security research in scope
- Participating in CTFs or approved training exercises
- Understanding anti-debugging or obfuscation techniques for defense
Do not use this skill when
- You lack written authorization or a defined scope
- The goal is to bypass protections for piracy or misuse
- Legal or policy restrictions prohibit analysis
Instructions
- Confirm written authorization, scope, and legal constraints.
- Identify protection mechanisms and choose safe analysis methods.
- Document findings and avoid modifying artifacts unnecessarily.
- Provide defensive recommendations and mitigation guidance.
Safety
- Do not share bypass steps outside the authorized context.
- Preserve evidence and maintain chain-of-custody for malware cases.

When not to use it
- →You lack written authorization or a defined scope
- →The goal is to bypass protections for piracy or misuse
- →Legal or policy restrictions prohibit analysis
Limitations
- →Requires explicit written permission from the software owner for bypass or analysis
- →Activities must fall within the defined scope of authorization
- →Unauthorized bypassing of software protection may violate laws
How it compares
This skill provides a structured approach for authorized analysis, ensuring legal compliance and proper documentation, unlike ad-hoc analysis.

red-team-tools-and-methodology
davila7
This skill should be used when the user asks to "follow red team methodology", "perform bug bounty hunting", "automate reconnaissance", "hunt for XSS vulnerabilities", "enumerate subdomains", or needs security researcher techniques and tool configurations from top bug bounty hunters.
hunt-focus-definition
OTRF
Define a focused hunt hypothesis by synthesizing completed system internals and adversary tradecraft research. Use this skill after research has been completed to narrow a high-level hunt topic into a single, concrete attack pattern with clear investigative intent. This skill produces a structured, testable hypothesis and should be used before selecting data sources, defining environment scope, or developing analytics.
hunt-research-system-and-tradecraft
OTRF
Research system internals and adversary tradecraft to ground a threat hunt in real system behavior and realistic abuse patterns. Use this skill at the start of hunt planning, when you are given a high-level hunt topic but lack a clear understanding of how the system normally operates or how adversaries are known to abuse it. This skill informs early hunt direction by producing candidate abuse patterns, key assumptions, and cited sources, and should be used before defining a concrete hunt hypothesis or selecting data sources.
security-research
protoLabsAI
Run a multi-step security intelligence workflow: scan CVE feeds, check Exploit-DB, aggregate security RSS, correlate with target intel, generate threat brief.

gadievron
Provides adversarial code comprehension for security research, mapping architecture, tracing data flows, and hunting vulnerability variants to build ground-truth understanding before or alongside static analysis.
