# Vulnerability Scanner > Think like an attacker, defend like an expert. 2025 threat landscape awareness. ## 🔧 Runtime Scripts **Execute for automated validation:** | Script | Purpose | Usage | |--------|---------|-------| | `scripts/security_scan.py` | Validate security principles applied | `python scripts/security_scan.py <project_path>` | ## 📋 Reference Files | File | Purpose | |------|---------| | [checklists.md](checklists.md) | OWASP Top 10, Auth, API, Data protection checklists | --- ## 1. Security Expert Mindset ### Core Principles | Principle | Application | |-----------|-------------| | **Assume Breach** | Design as if attacker already inside | | **Zero Trust** | Never trust, always verify | | **Defense in Depth** | Multiple layers, no single point | | **Least Privilege** | Minimum required access only | | **Fail Secure** | On error, deny access | ### Threat Modeling Questions Before scanning, ask: 1. What are we protecting? (Assets) 2. Who would attack? (Threat actors) 3. How would they attack? (Attack vectors) 4. What's the impact? (Business risk) --- ## 2. OWASP Top 10:2025 ### Risk Categories | Rank | Category | Think About | |------|----------|-------------| | **A0

About this skill
What does the vulnerability-scanner skill do?

Advanced vulnerability analysis principles. OWASP 2025, Supply Chain Security, attack surface mapping, risk prioritization.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill vulnerability-scanner --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.
