What security-awareness-malicious-repository-detection does

The skill evaluates GitHub descriptions and repository topics against malware red flags. It looks for piracy terms like keygens or loaders tied to security products. Topic tags mentioning defender bypasses also raise suspicion.

A scoring formula adds risk points for each match. Scoring fifty points or higher flags the project as dangerous. The scanner queries the GitHub repository endpoint directly.

Without a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable, automated scans quickly hit GitHub rate limits.

What it helps with

  • spot fake software cracks and keygen loaders on GitHub
  • detect manipulated star counts and exploit-related topics
  • calculate a risk score from repository metadata
  • screen suspicious repositories before cloning them locally

Example prompts for the agent

  • Analyze this GitHub project description for crack and malware indicators
  • Check if this repository matches fake software crack patterns
  • Inspect the metadata of this repository to evaluate its risk score
