An authorized-pentest/CTF cloud-security education skill (AWS/Azure/GCP attack methodology) tested defensively on an inline IAM policy carrying a planted iam:PassRole(Resource:*) + lambda:CreateFunction/InvokeFunction privesc — no live cloud, no credentials, no weaponized tooling. With the skill, Claude correctly named the PassRole-to-Lambda attack class, traced the full escalation-to-account-takeover path, and returned a least-privilege policy plus permission-boundary/SCP/Access-Analyzer hardening. The base arm (no skill) caught the identical planted privesc with an equally correct corrected policy and slightly broader hardening, so the A/B showed no measurable output lift on this task — the skill's value is priming/consistency, not net new detection.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 4/5
- Output vs. baseline 5/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Offensive Cloud (defensive testing) does
Cloud security attack methodology covering AWS, Azure, and GCP. Includes credential harvesting (IMDS, ~/.aws, env vars, leaked CI secrets, instance roles), enumeration with cloud-specific tools (pacu, ScoutSuite, Prowler, ROADtools, gcp_enum), privilege escalation paths (IAM PassRole, AssumeRole chains, Lambda/Functions privilege flips, Azure Owner-on-self, GCP serviceAccountTokenCreator),…
How to install Offensive Cloud (defensive testing)
git clone https://github.com/SnailSploit/Claude-Red
cd Claude-Red
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r Skills/cloud/offensive-cloud ~/.claude/skills/offensive-cloud
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger Offensive Cloud (defensive testing)
-
/offensive-cloudRuns AWS, Azure, and GCP attack techniques for cloud penetration testing.
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Enumerate IAM privilege escalation paths in this AWS account -
Find leaked credentials in our CI pipeline secrets -
Test for privilege escalation via AssumeRole chains
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Offensive Cloud (defensive testing) skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from SnailSploit/Claude-Red. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Offensive Cloud (defensive testing) work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 13, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup.

- What is the Offensive Cloud (defensive testing) SkillProof Score?
- 7.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 4/5, output vs. baseline 5/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install Offensive Cloud (defensive testing)?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Offensive Cloud (defensive testing) with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
