Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versiontracking-threat-actor-infrastructureExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches tracking-threat-actor-infrastructure 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 tracking-threat-actor-infrastructure. Access via /tracking-threat-actor-infrastructure 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.

Threat actor infrastructure tracking involves monitoring and mapping adversary-controlled assets including command-and-control (C2) servers, phishing domains, exploit kit hosts, bulletproof hosting, and staging servers. This skill covers using passive DNS, certificate transparency logs, Shodan/Censys scanning, WHOIS analysis, and network fingerprinting to discover, track, and pivot across threat actor infrastructure over time.
shodan, censys, requests, stix2 librariesPivoting is the technique of using one known indicator to discover related infrastructure. Starting from a known C2 IP address, analysts can pivot via: passive DNS (find domains), reverse WHOIS (find related registrations), SSL certificates (find shared certs), SSH key fingerprints, HTTP response fingerprints, JARM/JA3S hashes, and WHOIS registrant data.
Passive DNS databases record DNS query/response data observed at recursive resolvers. This allows analysts to find historical domain-to-IP mappings, discover domains hosted on a known C2 IP, and identify fast-flux or domain generation algorithm (DGA) behavior.
Certificate Transparency (CT) logs publicly record all SSL/TLS certificates issued by CAs. Monitoring CT logs reveals new certificates registered for suspicious domains, helping identify phishing sites and C2 infrastructure before they become active.
