Penetration Testing Skill

This skill guides AI agents through professional penetration testing workflows using the Kali Linux MCP server environment.

Core Principles

1. Always log actions - Maintain detailed documentation of all commands and findings
2. Use timeouts - Network commands must include timeouts to prevent hanging
3. Install tools first - Never assume tools are pre-installed in the container

5. Generate reports - Always conclude with comprehensive vulnerability documentation
6. Understand before exploiting - NEVER deploy an exploit without first researching and understanding exactly how it works, what it does, and what the risks are
