Defensive cybersecurity skills (Blue team)

Github: https://github.com/fatehMohamed14/anthropic-cybersecurity-skills-defensive, This is a fork from https://github.com/mukul975/anthropic-cybersecurity-skills.

The original repository is great. It includes 818 skills all together: detection playbooks next to live exploit code, credential crackers and C2 framework guides. Very useful for teams. Dangerous for others. Here is what is different:

๐Ÿšซ ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ” offensive skills removedโ€Š-โ€Ševery exploit every C2 framework, every credential-cracking tool. 712 Skills that are purely defensive are left.

๐Ÿ”’ Safe by designโ€Š-โ€Šnothing in the skill path can run an attack. Use it for learning for authorized testing or right alongside production systems.

๐Ÿงฐ Per-skill tool manifest addedโ€Š-โ€Ša machine- list of exactly which tool (Splunk, VirusTotal, Volatility, YARAโ€ฆ) each skill actually needs, so you know what to install before you try to run it.

๐Ÿ“‹ Curated, documented not just assertedโ€Š-โ€Šthe removal criteria and the full list of what was cut are public in the repo so the "defensive-only" claim is auditable not just a README promise.

๐Ÿ”Œ Bundled MCP serversโ€Š-โ€Što-connect MCP servers, for [name the actual onesโ€Š-โ€Še.g. VirusTotal, DNS/WHOIS lookups] so skills can call real tools out of the box instead of just describing them.
