## What it does

Users often ask coding agents to bypass software licenses or locate pre-activated installers. This skill intercepts requests for cracked Bitdefender tools. Software cracks routinely hide dangerous stealers. The skill explains the actual risk.

It outlines specific traits found in fake security repositories. Warning signs include star growth over 2 stars per day, missing source code, and tags like `defender-bypass`. A Go helper checks repository metadata programmatically.

Running an unknown binary creates an immediate breach. The machine needs immediate network disconnection via `ifconfig` followed by password resets from a clean device. For legitimate protection, the skill suggests the official 30-day trial or ClamAV.
