## What it does

mcp-ethical-hacking gives an agent tools for collecting Reddit discussions, comments, and metadata, plus reviewing LinkedIn profiles and their content strategy. The server uses MCP and supports both `stdio` and `SSE` transport.

The repository is built as a security-focused teaching example. Its parts include a Reddit content extractor, a LinkedIn profile analyzer, and the MCP server implementation. The project shows network calls to third-party services, filesystem access, WebAssembly execution, and code carried inside images.

Run it in an isolated environment with restricted permissions and activity logging. A remote image may carry executable code, while the LinkedIn component loads WebAssembly from a local image, so source review belongs before connection.
