What it does
Iac Security is an agent skill from hardw00t/ai-security-arsenal. Infrastructure-as-Code security scanning router for Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes manifests, Helm, ARM/Bicep. Orchestrates Checkov, tfsec, Terrascan, KICS, kubesec, kube-linter, Polaris, cfn-lint/cfn-nag, and OPA/Conftest. Use when auditing IaC for misconfigurations, scanning Terraform plans, validating K8s security policies, checking cloud infrastructure compliance, or authoring custom policy-as-code (Rego).
Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 19 other files, including reference files (for example `examples/opa_rego_templates.md`, `references/arm_bicep.md` and `references/bounty_patterns_2024_2026.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Infrastructure as code, Container orchestration and Linting and formatting. It works with Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS CloudFormation and Bicep. The repository describes itself as: A collection of skills, agents, commands, and workflows for security researchers. Compatible with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, OpenCode, and other AI coding tools.
When your agent uses it
- Auditing IaC for misconfigurations
- Scanning Terraform plans
- Validating K8s security policies
- Checking cloud infrastructure compliance
Example prompts
- “/iac-security”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Docker
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Public network ingress on admin ports (SSH/RDP/DB) — security groups, NSGs, NACLs with 0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0 → sev=critical.
- Public data stores — S3 public-read, Azure storage allowBlobPublicAccess, RDS/CosmosDB publicly_accessible → sev=critical.
- Wildcard IAM — Action: "*" with Resource: "*" in AWS IAM / Azure role / GCP IAM binding → sev=critical.
- Unencrypted at-rest — S3/EBS/RDS/Azure Storage without SSE or CMK; KMS without rotation → sev=high.
- Privileged / hostPath / hostNetwork pods — container escape / node-level blast radius → sev=high.
- Missing audit trails — CloudTrail disabled, Azure Activity Log export off, VPC flow logs missing → sev=high.
- Hardcoded secrets in IaC — re-route to secrets-scanning skill, keep a breadcrumb in this report.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a1a68f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
brewterraformhelmpipdockergogem
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use helm, pip and docker, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Iac Security loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~10k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 941 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 941 words (~2,425 tokens).
“Thin router for IaC static analysis. Pick the right workflow, run scanners in parallel, aggregate findings into schemas/finding.json, and (where org controls demand it) author Rego policies via the policy-as-code loop. Detailed per-stack commands and rule references live under references/…”
