Ask the user to state the exact target URL, IP, account, or resource. > 2. Ask the user to confirm written authorization and the permitted scope. > 3. Show the exact command(s) and explain their expected effect. > 4. Wait for explicit confirmation in the current conversation. > > Without that confirmation, remain read-only and provide defensive guidance only.

About this skill
What does the network-101 skill do?

Configure and test common network services (HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP, SMB) for penetration testing lab environments. Enable hands-on practice with service enumeration, log analysis, and security testing against properly configured target systems.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill network-101 --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
