ctf_forensics

A helper for solving forensics challenges in capture-the-flag (CTF) competitions. Digital forensics means examining files, devices, memory, or network data to find hidden evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for file analysis, steganography (hidden data in ordinary-looking files), memory and disk investigation, network-capture analysis, and metadata extraction.
Why use it?
It brings together ways to inspect different kinds of digital evidence. This helps when the answer is concealed in file contents, images, computer memory, disk data, network traffic, or metadata.

Getting it into your agent

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

ctf_forensics 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.

Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

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.

ctf_forensics is an agent published in the GitHub repository zebbern/termstack (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 4,165 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (unrestricted tool access, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
