Deploy and manage network honeypots using OpenCanary, T-Pot, or Cowrie to detect unauthorized access, lateral movement, and attacker reconnaissance.
Works with
AI-first code editor with Composer
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionimplementing-network-deception-with-honeypotsExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches implementing-network-deception-with-honeypots from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate implementing-network-deception-with-honeypots. Access via /implementing-network-deception-with-honeypots in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.
