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:

🚫 πŸπŸŽπŸ” offensive skills removedβ€Š-β€Ševery exploit every C2 framework, every credential-cracking tool. 712 Skills that are purely defensive are left.

πŸ”’ Safe by designβ€Š-β€Šnothing in the skill path can run an attack. Use it for learning for authorized testing or right alongside production systems. 🧰 Per-skill tool manifest addedβ€Š-β€Ša machine- list of exactly which tool (Splunk, VirusTotal, Volatility, YARA…) each skill actually needs, so you know what to install before you try to run it.

πŸ“‹ Curated, documented not just assertedβ€Š-β€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.

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