competition-kernel-container-escape

A specialist workflow for studying whether code running inside a container can cross into the host system through the kernel.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect namespaces, cgroups, capabilities, syscall restrictions, security policies, mounts, runtime sockets, kernel details, and a minimal escape path.
Why use it?
It makes the container's isolation limits explicit and separates exploit requirements from evidence that a boundary was actually crossed.

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

competition-kernel-container-escape scanned grade A with 0 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 2d ago.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Competition Kernel Container Escape

Use this skill only as a downstream specialization after $ctf-sandbox-orchestrator is already active and has established sandbox assumptions, node ownership, and evidence priorities. If that has not happened yet, return to $ctf-sandbox-orchestrator first.

Use this skill when the decisive step is proving a boundary crossing between containerized context and host or higher-privilege kernel context.

Quick Start

  1. Map runtime isolation first: namespaces, cgroups, seccomp, capabilities, LSM, and mount boundaries.
  2. Separate exploit prerequisite, primitive, and boundary-crossing proof.
  3. Record kernel version, config hints, runtime options, and reachable syscall surface.
  4. Keep instrumented observations separate from pristine challenge path.
  5. Reproduce one minimal primitive-to-boundary-crossing chain.

Workflow

1. Map Isolation And Kernel Surface

  • Record namespace map, cgroup mode, capabilities, seccomp profile, AppArmor or SELinux state, mounted filesystems, and runtime sockets.
  • Note kernel version, distro build hints, module exposure, and container runtime behavior.
  • Keep host and container observations linked to exact node and context.

2. Prove Exploit Primitive And Crossover

  • Show controllable input, trigger condition, affected object, and observable kernel or runtime state change.
  • Capture before and after identity, namespace, mount, or process visibility to prove boundary crossing.
  • Distinguish crash-only behavior from stable capability gain.

3. Reduce To Decisive Escape Chain

  • Compress to: prerequisite state -> primitive trigger -> boundary crossing evidence -> resulting host-level capability.
  • State whether root cause is kernel vulnerability, runtime misconfiguration, capability overgrant, or namespace leak.
  • If path relies mostly on credential replay after initial foothold, hand off to Linux credential pivot skill.

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
