Defend Exploit Mitigations
Coverage-and-gaps methodology for the memory-corruption exploit mitigations that break an exploit before it runs attacker code: ASLR, DEP/NX, Control Flow Guard (CFG), and CET shadow stack (MITRE ATT&CK T1203, T1190, T1068, T1211, T1210; mitigation M1050). Signals: Windows Security-Mitigations channels, Application log Event IDs 1000 and 1001 with fast-fail and access-violation codes, Defender for Endpoint ExploitGuard events, and Linux auditd ANOM_ABEND, dmesg segfaults, and randomize_va_space. Shows which mitigations are enforced per image and host, how to find gaps with Get-ProcessMitigation, dumpbin, BinSkim, winchecksec, and checksec, how to hunt crash clusters, and how to harden with the Essential Eight. Use when verifying ASLR, DEP, CFG, or CET coverage, auditing exploit protection on a fleet, finding binaries without CFG or CETCOMPAT, triaging a 0xc0000409 fast-fail crash cluster, or building an exploit-mitigation baseline.

What this skill does
Defend Exploit Mitigations is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the red-team sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/defend-exploit-mitigations/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when verifying ASLR, DEP, CFG, or CET coverage, auditing exploit protection on a fleet, finding binaries without CFG or CETCOMPAT, triaging a 0xc0000409 fast-fail crash cluster, or building an exploit-mitigation baseline.

When should I use the Defend Exploit Mitigations skill?
Use Defend Exploit Mitigations when your Claude Code task falls under the Security category — specifically in the red team area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Defend Exploit Mitigations" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at
/category/security/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Defend Exploit Mitigations skill fit in?
