  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by BrownFineSecurity on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Onvifscan AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/BrownFineSecurity/iothackbot/tree/master/skills/onvifscan
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/BrownFineSecurity/iothackbot.git /tmp/iothackbot
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/iothackbot/skills/onvifscan .claude/skills/onvifscan
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Onvifscan in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Onvifscan on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Onvifscan is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Onvifscan - ONVIF Security Scanner

You are helping the user scan ONVIF devices for security issues including authentication bypasses and weak credentials using the onvifscan tool.

Tool Overview

Onvifscan is an ONVIF device security scanner that can:

  • Test for unauthenticated access to ONVIF endpoints
  • Perform credential brute-forcing attacks

Instructions

When the user asks to scan ONVIF devices, test IP cameras, or assess IoT device security:

  1. Determine scan type:

    • auth: Authentication and access control testing (recommended to start)
    • brute: Credential brute-forcing on password-protected endpoints

  2. Get target information:

    • Ask for the device URL/IP
    • Determine which scan type to run
    • Check if they have custom wordlists

  3. Execute the scan:

    • Use the onvifscan command from the iothackbot bin directory
    • Format: onvifscan <subcommand> <url> [options]

Subcommands

Auth Scan

Tests ONVIF endpoints for authentication requirements:

bash
onvifscan auth http://192.168.1.100

Options:

  • -v, --verbose: Show full XML responses
  • -a, --all: Test ALL endpoints including potentially destructive ones
  • --format text|json|quiet: Output format

Brute Force

Attempts credential brute-forcing on protected endpoints:

bash
onvifscan brute http://192.168.1.100

Options:

  • --usernames <file>: Custom usernames wordlist (default: built-in onvif-usernames.txt)
  • --passwords <file>: Custom passwords wordlist (default: built-in onvif-passwords.txt)
  • --format text|json|quiet: Output format

Examples

Quick auth check on a device:

bash
onvifscan auth 192.168.1.100

Auth check with verbose output:

bash
onvifscan auth http://192.168.1.100:8080 -v

Brute force with custom wordlists:

bash
onvifscan brute 192.168.1.100 --usernames custom-users.txt --passwords custom-pass.txt

Important Notes

  • URLs can omit http:// - it will be added automatically
  • Auth scan is non-destructive and safe to run
  • Use -a flag with caution - may test destructive endpoints
  • Brute force is rate-limited to prevent device overload (max 20 attempts by default)
  • Built-in wordlists located in wordlists/ directory

Frequently asked questions

What does the Onvifscan AI skill do?

ONVIF device security scanner for testing authentication and brute-forcing credentials. Use when you need to assess security of IP cameras or ONVIF-enabled devices.

Why use Onvifscan on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Onvifscan is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Onvifscan in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/BrownFineSecurity/iothackbot/tree/master/skills/onvifscan. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Onvifscan?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Onvifscan?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Onvifscan with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Onvifscan AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by BrownFineSecurity under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
