Exposed Service Triage

When to Use

User says exposed port or task matches this capability
User says what is listening or task matches this capability
User says fix exposed service or task matches this capability
User says open port or task matches this capability

Workflow

Run read-only listener inventory (ss -tln, fuser) on user machine.
Map ports to processes; classify MCP-related vs system vs unknown.
Present findings table with risk tier and plain-language explanation.
Recommend: bind 127.0.0.1, disable service, or firewall rule.
Before stopping/disabling any service: hitl-approver required.
Never run aggressive remote scans or attack exposed services.

Integrations

defensive-mcp-audit
hitl-approver

Error Handling

Failure	Response
Cannot identify process	Report port and binding; suggest sudo ss -tlnp with user consent.
User requests aggressive scan	Decline; offer defensive audit only.

Gotchas

Common OS services on 0.0.0.0 may be intentional; explain before recommending disable.

Safety & Ethics (Publication-Ready)

This skill is designed for public distribution. Constraints:

Read-only discovery first; service changes only after HITL approval.
No denial-of-service, exploitation, or unauthorized access attempts.
Remediation is documented steps for the user or admin to apply.
