TORCH CLAUDE.md

TORCH CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from Encod3d-Sec/TORCH. It costs 7,786 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for managing a wiki about penetration testing and bug bounties. Penetration testing is authorised security testing, while bug bounty work finds and reports security flaws under a programme's rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find wiki information, ingest web pages, clone repositories, run security tools in a Kali Linux virtual machine, and follow structured planning, debugging, and verification workflows.
Why use it?
It gives researchers a consistent way to search, update, and use the wiki while keeping work organised and avoiding repeated or unsafe actions.

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 A, and why

TORCH CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

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.
