Description
Provides audit checklists and configuration guidance to secure OpenClaw/Aegis deployments by preventing instance exposure, credential leaks, malicious skill...
Usage Guidance
This is a coherent, instruction-only hardening checklist. Before following commands: (1) review each shell command — don't run them blindly; (2) be aware some steps (writing /etc/default/aegis, restarting the gateway) require root/administrative privileges and will affect runtime behavior; (3) follow secure operational order when rotating keys (creating and verifying new keys before revoking is usually safer than revoking first); (4) consider using a secrets manager instead of world-editing /etc files; (5) back up openclaw.json before edits. If you want automated remediation rather than manual instructions, request a reviewed automation script or a skill that declares the exact operations and required privileges.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: security-hardening-toolkit-v1-0
Version: 1.0.0
The toolkit is a defensive security suite designed to audit and harden OpenClaw instances. It provides instructions and shell commands for network exposure checks (using ss and curl), credential discovery/isolation (using find and grep), and incident response. The content is strictly aligned with its stated purpose of improving security posture and includes legitimate detection patterns for common attack vectors like unauthorized persistence or data exfiltration. No malicious intent, obfuscation, or unauthorized data access was identified.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (security hardening for OpenClaw/Aegis) matches the instructions: network checks, credential audits, skill-verification checklists and remediation steps. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or external services are demanded by the skill itself.
Instruction Scope
Instructions direct the operator to read configuration and workspace files (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, ~/.openclaw/workspace/*), generate and store secrets in /etc/default/aegis, and restart the gateway. Those actions are relevant to hardening, but they require care (file edits, service restart, potential root privileges). The guide also recommends grep scans for token patterns and moving keys — expected for an audit, but operators should review commands before running them.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files to execute. This is low-risk from an installation/execution perspective.
Credentials
The SKILL.md references many service tokens (OPENAI_API_KEY, GITHUB_TOKEN, STRIPE_SECRET_KEY, etc.) only as examples of credentials to audit and rotate; it does not require or declare any environment variables. This breadth is justified for an inventory/rotation checklist, but users should note the guidance assumes access to those tokens to rotate them and recommends storing secrets in a system path that requires elevated permissions.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request persistent presence (always: false) nor attempt to modify other skills. It instructs edits to local config files (openclaw.json) and system files (/etc/default/aegis) which is reasonable for hardening but requires appropriate privileges — not an autonomous privilege escalation request from the skill itself.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install security-hardening-toolkit-v1-0 - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/security-hardening-toolkit-v1-0 - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
