Comprehensive OSINT methodology for external red-team operations and authorized attack-surface assessments. Covers the 5-stage recon pipeline, asset-graph discipline, severity rubric, confidence upgrade workflows, time budgeting, identity-fabric mapping, breach×identity correlation, detectability tagging, detection-aware probing, WAF/CDN bypass, vulnerability prioritization, phishing infrastructure planning, bug bounty submission, and client deliverable templates. Use when planning or executing reconnaissance against authorized targets, mapping an organization's external attack surface, investigating a person/entity, or producing client deliverables.

2 findings — 1 critical severity, 1 medium severity. Installing this skill is not recommended: please review these findings carefully if you do intend to do so.
Detected high-risk code patterns in the skill content — including its prompts, tool definitions, and resources — such as data exfiltration, backdoors, remote code execution, credential theft, system compromise, supply chain attacks, and obfuscation techniques.
Malicious code pattern detected (high risk: 0.95). This skill is a high-risk dual-use offensive OSINT playbook: it contains detailed operational techniques for credential harvesting, phishing infrastructure, detection evasion (egress/IP rotation, sock-puppets), WAF/CDN bypass, stealer-log handling, and origin discovery that can be directly abused to facilitate credential theft, targeted phishing, stealthy scanning, and data exfiltration despite stated "authorized use" guardrails.
The skill exposes the agent to untrusted, user-generated content from public third-party sources, creating a risk of indirect prompt injection. This includes browsing arbitrary URLs, reading social media posts or forum comments, and analyzing content from unknown websites.
Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 1.00). The SKILL.md explicitly requires fetching and ingesting public third-party content (e.g., crt.sh, Shodan, Wayback/SavePageNow, GitHub, HudsonRock/HIBP/DeHashed and other public feeds) as part of the recon pipeline and breach/identity correlation workflows (§7 Seed Discovery, §11/§12, §4 Source Hygiene), and those untrusted, user-generated/open-web sources are used to upgrade confidence levels and drive follow-on actions, so third-party content can materially influence decisions.
