Complete skill folder anatomy across all cybersecurity skills:
- scripts/agent.py: 80-150 line Python agents using real libraries (impacket,
  boto3, azure-mgmt-*, kubernetes, pefile, yara, scapy, shodan, stix2, etc.)
- references/api-reference.md: real API documentation with method signatures

API Reference: Performing Bandwidth Throttling Attack Simulation

Scapy Library

Function/Class Description
IP(dst=target) Construct IP packet to target
UDP(sport, dport) Construct UDP packet for bandwidth flooding
Raw(load=bytes) Add raw payload for packet size control
send(packet, verbose) Send packet at layer 3
RandShort() Generate random source port

tc (Traffic Control) Commands

Command Description
tc qdisc add dev <iface> root netem rate <rate> Apply bandwidth throttle
tc qdisc add dev <iface> root netem delay <ms> Add latency
tc qdisc add dev <iface> root netem loss <pct> Add packet loss
tc qdisc del dev <iface> root Remove all tc rules
tc qdisc show dev <iface> Display current tc configuration

iperf3 (Bandwidth Measurement)

Flag Description
-c <server> Connect to iperf3 server
-t <seconds> Duration of test
-J Output in JSON format
-u Use UDP instead of TCP
-b <bandwidth> Target bandwidth for UDP test

Key Libraries

  • scapy (pip install scapy): Packet crafting for bandwidth flood generation
  • iperf3: Bandwidth measurement tool (system binary)
  • subprocess (stdlib): Execute tc and iperf3 commands

Configuration

Variable Description
Interface Network interface to apply throttling rules
Root/sudo tc and Scapy require root privileges
iperf3 server Remote iperf3 server for bandwidth measurement

Safety Controls

Control Purpose
Written authorization Required before any bandwidth testing
remove_tc_throttle() Always remove tc rules after testing
Packet count limit Control flood volume to prevent unintended DoS
Isolated network Run on isolated test segment only
