Limitations / Verification¶
- Publisher-page install counts verified; individual skill audit pages were not fetched for this multi-skill suite
- Offensive techniques — only use against systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test
- Skills assume CTF-style targets; adapting to production systems requires additional judgment
