red-team-tools — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
Reconnaissance, fuzzing, and vulnerability scanning workflows for bug bounty hunting and penetration tests in Claude Code.
npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill security/red-team-toolsWhat red-team-tools does
This skill equips Claude Code with structured offensive security steps based on bug bounty practices. It covers passive and active subdomain collection using amass and subfinder, host checking via httprobe or httpx, and technology fingerprinting through whatweb and nuclei.
The guide includes terminal command chains for content fuzzing with ffuf, historical URL scraping via waybackurls and gau, XSS automation with paramspider and dalfox, plus API route discovery.
Commands expect a Linux environment like Kali or Ubuntu alongside working Go, Python, and Ruby setups. Third-party data lookups fail without active API keys for Shodan or Censys.
What it helps with
- enumerate target subdomains and filter responsive hosts
- extract historical URLs and query parameters for fuzzing
- run automated XSS checks on discovered parameters
- scan hosts for known CVEs using Nuclei templates
- discover hidden API routes and HTTP methods
Example prompts for the agent
- Enumerate subdomains for target.com using amass and subfinder
- Test extracted URL parameters for XSS vulnerabilities with dalfox
- Build an ffuf command to discover hidden API endpoints
