firmware

An autonomous security-testing agent for embedded and Internet-connected devices, including their firmware and built-in web interfaces. Firmware is the software stored inside a device.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is intended for testing device firmware, embedded web or CGI/LuCI interfaces, network services, credentials, secrets, backdoors, and outdated components.
Why use it?
The description does not provide enough detail to state more about its workflow or output safely.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

firmware scanned grade B with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Reaches for credential filesmediumPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

- Password hashes: cat squashfs-root/etc/shadow squashfs-root/etc/passwd. For every

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

firmware is an agent published in the GitHub repository ASCIT31/Dark-Moon (878 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed GPL-3.0. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 6,850 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (reaches for credential files, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
