What it does

Performing Ssl Tls Security Assessment is an agent skill from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills. Assess SSL/TLS server configurations using the sslyze Python scanning library to evaluate supported protocol versions, cipher suite strength, certificate chain validation, HSTS enforcement, OCSP stapling, and known vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed and ROBOT. Use when conducting a security assessment of a server's TLS configuration or verifying remediation of cipher/certificate weaknesses.

Its SKILL.md is about 600 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 Security review. It works with Python. 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

  • Conducting a security assessment of a servers TLS configuration
  • Verifying remediation of cipher/certificate weaknesses

Example prompts

  • “/performing-ssl-tls-security-assessment”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Configure Server Scan
  2. Execute TLS Scan
  3. Analyze Results
  4. Generate Security Report

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

Performing Ssl Tls Security Assessment loads about 597 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 197 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~108
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~597
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.

Performing SSL/TLS Security Assessment

Overview

Assess SSL/TLS server configurations using sslyze, a fast Python-based scanning library. This skill covers evaluating supported protocol versions (SSLv2/3, TLS 1.0-1.3), cipher suite strength, certificate chain validation, HSTS enforcement, OCSP stapling, and scanning for known vulnerabilities including Heartbleed, ROBOT, and session renegotiation weaknesses.

When to Use

  • When conducting security assessments that involve performing ssl tls security assessment
  • When following incident response procedures for related security events
  • When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities
  • When validating security controls through hands-on testing

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.9+ with sslyze library (pip install sslyze)
  • Network access to target HTTPS servers on port 443
  • Understanding of TLS protocol versions and cipher suite classifications

Steps

Step 1: Configure Server Scan

Create ServerScanRequest with ServerNetworkLocation specifying target hostname and port.

Step 2: Execute TLS Scan

Use sslyze Scanner to queue and execute scans for all TLS check commands concurrently.

Step 3: Analyze Results

Evaluate accepted cipher suites, certificate validity, protocol versions, and vulnerability scan results.

Step 4: Generate Security Report

Produce a JSON report with compliance findings and remediation recommendations.

Expected Output

JSON report with supported protocols, accepted cipher suites, certificate details, vulnerability results (Heartbleed, ROBOT), and HSTS status.
