🔐 Authorized & lawful use only. This library includes offensive and dual-use techniques (e.g. red-team C2, phishing simulation, exploitation) intended for authorized penetration testing, security research, defense, and education. Only use them against systems you own or have explicit written permission to test, and comply with all applicable laws and rules of engagement. You are solely responsible for how you use these skills. See SECURITY.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md.
Give any AI agent the security skills of a senior analyst
A junior analyst knows which Volatility3 plugin to run on a suspicious memory dump, which Sigma rules catch Kerberoasting, and how to scope a cloud breach across three providers. Your AI agent doesn't — unless you give it these skills.
This repo contains 818 structured cybersecurity skills spanning 34 security domains, each following the agentskills.io open standard. The library maps across six industry frameworks — MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF 2.0, MITRE ATLAS, MITRE D3FEND, NIST AI RMF, and the MITRE Fight Fraud Framework (F3) — with each skill mapped to the frameworks relevant to its type (a forensics skill carries ATT&CK + CSF; an AI-security skill adds ATLAS and AI RMF). Clone it, point your agent at it, and your next security investigation gets expert-level guidance in seconds.
Six frameworks, one skill library
Each skill maps to the frameworks that fit its subject — ATT&CK and NIST CSF are near-universal, while ATLAS, AI RMF, D3FEND, and F3 apply where they're relevant. Framework coverage across the 817 skills: MITRE ATT&CK 805 · NIST CSF 2.0 804 · MITRE D3FEND 139 · NIST AI RMF 97 · MITRE F3 94 · MITRE ATLAS 93.
| Framework | Version | Framework scope | What it maps |
|---|---|---|---|
| MITRE ATT&CK | v19.1 | 15 tactics · Enterprise/Mobile/ICS | Adversary behaviors and TTPs |
| NIST CSF 2.0 | 2.0 | 6 functions · 22 categories · 106 subcategories | Organizational security posture |
| MITRE ATLAS | 2026.07 | 101 techniques · 77 sub-techniques | AI/ML adversarial threats |
| MITRE D3FEND | v1.4.0 | 270 techniques | Defensive countermeasures |
| NIST AI RMF | 1.0 | 4 functions (Govern/Map/Measure/Manage) | AI risk management |
| MITRE F3 (Fight Fraud Framework) | v1.1 (2026-04-09) | 8 tactics · 123 techniques · 94 fraud-relevant skills | Cyber-enabled financial fraud TTPs |
Example — each skill maps only to the frameworks relevant to it (one may hit all six, another just a couple):

🆕 MITRE Fight Fraud Framework (F3) — 94 fraud-relevant skills
The MITRE Fight Fraud Framework (F3) was released April 9, 2026 by MITRE's Center for Threat-Informed Defense (CTID), co-developed with JPMorganChase, Citigroup, Lloyds Banking Group, Standard Chartered, CrowdStrike, Verizon Business, FS-ISAC, and others. It is an ATT&CK-compatible TTP catalog for cyber-enabled financial fraud — filling the gap ATT&CK leaves after initial compromise.
F3 v1.1 adds two fraud-specific tactics that ATT&CK does not enumerate:
- Positioning (
FA0001) — actions taken after access to collect/manipulate data and prepare the fraud (synthetic-identity seeding, account warming, beneficiary setup, SIM-swap pre-positioning, banking-session hijack). - Monetization (
FA0002) — converting stolen assets into usable funds (money-mule layering, APP fraud, crypto off-ramping, card cash-out, refund/chargeback abuse).
Fraud-specific techniques use F1XXX IDs (e.g. F1005.003 Add Beneficiary, F1025.003 Wire Transfer, F1007 Adversary-in-the-Browser); reused ATT&CK techniques keep their T1XXX IDs. Mappings live in each skill's mitre_f3: frontmatter block — all 123 F3 v1.1 technique IDs were verified against the upstream STIX bundle. See docs/mitre-f3-mapping.md for the schema.
MITRE ATT&CK v19.1 — 805/817 skills mapped
Every skill carries a mitre_attack frontmatter list validated against MITRE ATT&CK v19.1 (the latest release) using the official mitreattack-python library — 290 distinct techniques and sub-techniques (146 base + 144 sub) across Enterprise, ICS, and Mobile. Zero revoked or deprecated IDs. v19.1's restructured Defense Evasion (now split into Stealth and Defense Impairment) is reflected below.
| Tactic | ID | Skills |
|---|---|---|
| Reconnaissance | TA0043 | 103 |
| Resource Development | TA0042 | 22 |
| Initial Access | TA0001 | 467 |
| Execution | TA0002 | 350 |
| Persistence | TA0003 | 444 |

🌍 GARS-2026 — Global Agentic AI Readiness Survey
I'm running a global academic study measuring how ready security professionals, developers, and enterprise teams actually are for agentic AI — MCP servers, tool calling, governance, and human-in-the-loop workflows.
