Master essential security scanning tools for network discovery, vulnerability assessment, web application testing, wireless security, and compliance validation. This skill covers tool selection, configuration, and practical usage across different scanning categories.
Start a fresh conversation. Replace the highlighted placeholders.
Use scanning-tools to Use scanning-tools for the ClamAV local-malware-detection branch on [exact user-owned disposable directory and allowed file types], writing permitted results to [approved log/output path and sensitive-sample handling], with [written owner authorization and permitted scope]. Before any command, show its exact effect and wait for my explicit current-conversation confirmation; then report detections, manual-verification and false-positive assessment, coverage limits, and remediation priorities. Do not update definitions, move, quarantine, delete, upload, execute samples, or scan outside scope unless I separately approve those actions.

⚠️ AUTHORIZED USE ONLY
This skill is for educational purposes or authorized security assessments only.
You must have explicit, written permission from the system owner before using this tool.
Misuse of this tool is illegal and strictly prohibited.
Mandatory confirmation gate
Before running any command that probes, exploits, changes, persists on, extracts data from, or attempts credential access against a target:
Ask the user to state the exact target URL, IP, account, or resource.
Ask the user to confirm written authorization and the permitted scope.
Show the exact command(s) and explain their expected effect.
Wait for explicit confirmation in the current conversation.
Without that confirmation, remain read-only and provide defensive guidance only. Prefer a sandbox, disposable VM, or controlled lab.
