Security Auditor Skill#

Comprehensive security auditing for Linux servers, web apps, and cloud infrastructure.

What It Does#

1. Server Hardening Audit — SSH config, firewall rules, user permissions, kernel parameters
2. Port & Service Scan — Open ports, running services, unnecessary exposure
3. SSL/TLS Analysis — Certificate validity, protocol versions, cipher suites
4. File Permission Check — World-readable configs, SUID binaries, sensitive file exposure
5. Update Status — Pending security patches, EOL software detection
6. Web App Security — Headers, CORS, cookie flags, common misconfigs
7. Report Generation — Prioritized findings with fix commands

Usage#

Full Server Audit#

text

Run a full security audit on this server.
Check: SSH, firewall, ports, users, file permissions, updates, SSL.
Output a prioritized report with fix commands.

Quick SSH Hardening Check#

text

Audit SSH configuration:
- Is root login disabled?
- Is password auth disabled?
- What port is it on?
- Are there any weak ciphers?
Give me the exact commands to fix any issues.

Web Application Security Check#

text

Check security headers and configuration for: [URL]
Look for:
- Missing security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options)
- SSL/TLS issues
- CORS misconfig
- Cookie security flags
- Information disclosure

Cloud Infrastructure Review#

text

Review my cloud setup for security issues:
- Provider: [AWS/GCP/DO/Vultr]
- Services: [list running services]
- Access: [how you connect]
Focus on: IAM, network exposure, storage permissions, logging
