  • Works in 5 steps: Query crt.sh for all certificates… → Identify certificates with typosquatting… → Flag certificates from unexpected CAs → …
  • Proactive phishing domain detection and certificate monitoring
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Prerequisites, Instructions and Examples

What it does

Analyzing Tls Certificate Transparency Logs is an agent skill from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills. Queries Certificate Transparency logs via crt.sh and pycrtsh to detect phishing domains, unauthorized certificate issuance, and shadow IT. Monitors newly issued certificates for typosquatting and brand impersonation using Levenshtein distance. Use for proactive phishing domain detection and certificate monitoring.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/api-reference.md` and `scripts/agent.py`).

It sits in Security, covering Cloud networking and Supply chain security. The repository describes itself as: 817 structured cybersecurity skills for AI agents · Mapped to 6 frameworks: MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF 2.0, MITRE ATLAS, D3FEND, NIST AI RMF & MITRE F3 (Fight Fraud) · agentskills.io…. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Proactive phishing domain detection and certificate monitoring
  • Tasks that involve Cloud networking
  • Tasks that involve Supply chain security

Example prompts

  • “Use the analyzing-tls-certificate-transparency-logs skill to query Certificate Transparency logs via crt.sh and pycrtsh to detect phishing domains…”
  • “/analyzing-tls-certificate-transparency-logs”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Query crt.sh for all certificates matching your domain pattern
  2. Identify certificates with typosquatting variations (Levenshtein distance)
  3. Flag certificates from unexpected CAs
  4. Monitor for wildcard certificates on suspicious subdomains
  5. Cross-reference with known phishing infrastructure

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 54a7988. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Analyzing Tls Certificate Transparency Logs loads about 745 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 141 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~745
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Analyzing TLS Certificate Transparency Logs

When to Use

  • When investigating security incidents that require analyzing tls certificate transparency logs
  • When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
  • When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
  • When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques

Prerequisites

  • Familiarity with security operations concepts and tools
  • Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution
  • Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed
  • Appropriate authorization for any testing activities

Instructions

Query crt.sh Certificate Transparency database to find certificates issued for domains similar to your organization's brand, detecting phishing infrastructure.

python
from pycrtsh import Crtsh

c = Crtsh()
# Search for certificates matching a domain
certs = c.search("example.com")
for cert in certs:
    print(cert["id"], cert["name_value"])

# Get full certificate details
details = c.get(certs[0]["id"], type="id")

Key analysis steps:

  1. Query crt.sh for all certificates matching your domain pattern
  2. Identify certificates with typosquatting variations (Levenshtein distance)
  3. Flag certificates from unexpected CAs
  4. Monitor for wildcard certificates on suspicious subdomains
  5. Cross-reference with known phishing infrastructure

Examples

python
from pycrtsh import Crtsh
c = Crtsh()
certs = c.search("%.example.com")
for cert in certs:
    print(f"Issuer: {cert.get('issuer_name')}, Domain: {cert.get('name_value')}")
