What network services can I set up using this skill?

The skill currently focuses on the core services used in most security labs: HTTP (80), HTTPS (443), SNMP (161), and SMB (445).

Does it help with firewall configuration?

Yes, it includes specific commands for configuring the Windows Firewall via PowerShell and Linux firewalls using UFW to allow traffic on necessary ports.

Which operating systems does Network 101 support?

The skill provides comprehensive commands and workflows for both Windows Server and Linux-based distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, and Kali Linux.

Is this skill suitable for production server configuration?

No, this skill is specifically designed for lab and educational environments. It uses configurations like self-signed certificates and simple community strings that are not recommended for production security.

Can it help me find hidden network commands?

Yes, as part of the Claude Code Guide repository, it aims to help users discover both standard and advanced commands for service testing and network enumeration.

Security & Testing

Configures and tests essential network services like HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP, and SMB for security research and penetration testing labs.

About

Network 101 is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to streamline the setup and validation of common network services in controlled laboratory environments. It provides comprehensive guidance for configuring web servers (IIS and Apache), securing traffic with SSL/TLS, and setting up SNMP and SMB shares for security enumeration practice. This skill is ideal for security researchers, students, and system administrators looking to build realistic test beds for service analysis, log monitoring, and vulnerability assessment without needing to manually look up complex configuration syntax.

Key Features

Detailed configuration for SNMP community strings and service enumeration testing.
Log analysis workflows to help identify and parse security-relevant events.
Samba and Windows SMB share setup with various permission levels for testing.
2,883 GitHub stars
Automated setup guidance for HTTP and HTTPS web servers on Linux and Windows.
Quick-access reference for essential ports and command-line enumeration tools.

Use Cases

Building a local penetration testing lab to practice service-specific enumeration techniques.
Analyzing service logs to understand how network attacks appear in system audits.
Configuring secure web services with self-signed certificates for development and testing.
