Recently, someone shared a post from the ThreatVector page with me. It was a short post introducing a GitHub repo called Claude-Red [7]. At first, I thought it was just another penetration testing tool, of which there are new ones popping up every week…
A GitHub repository called Claude-Red has gained significant attention, with around 9,100 stars and 1,210 forks since its creation in early March 2024. The repository contains a guide with 79 skills for AI models to perform penetration testing, including SQL injection and wireless attacks. The guide provides detailed steps and payloads for various attacks, as well as reporting skills and standards for evidence handling.
The creator of the repository notes that the guide is not a tool for exploitation, but rather a manual for AI models to read and understand before performing tasks.
