Overview

About This Skill

This skill provides a comprehensive Kali Linux Docker container with 200+ pentesting tools optimized for use with Claude Code. It uses direct command execution via bash instead of MCP server protocol, reducing token consumption by 70% compared to traditional approaches. The container includes network scanners (nmap, masscan), web app testing tools (nikto, sqlmap), password cracking utilities (john, hashcat), wireless tools (aircrack-ng), forensics software (volatility, binwalk), and exploitation frameworks (metasploit). Users can interact naturally with Claude to perform security testing tasks like network reconnaissance, vulnerability scanning, password cracking, and web application testing. It's designed for authorized security professionals conducting authorized penetration testing with persistent storage and easy container management via docker-compose.

How to Use

Clone the project files, build the Docker container using docker-compose build, copy SKILL.md to your Claude skills directory, and start the container with docker-compose up -d. Test with docker exec kali-pentest nmap --version, then ask Claude naturally to perform pentesting tasks like 'Scan 192.168.1.1 with nmap' or 'Test http://testsite.local for SQL injection'.

Use Cases

Network reconnaissance and vulnerability scanning with nmap and masscan

Web application testing for SQL injection and security flaws

Password hash cracking using john and hashcat with wordlists

Wireless network penetration testing with aircrack-ng
