collecting-volatile-evidence-from-compromised-host

collecting-volatile-evidence-from-compromised-host is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from autohandai/community-skills. It costs 41 tokens per session (2,480 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of collecting-volatile-evidence-from-compromised-host, Apache-2.0.

A digital-forensics procedure for collecting information that disappears when a compromised computer is shut down or changed, such as memory, running programs, and network connections.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps collect memory, processes, connections, and system state from an attacked host while recording evidence handling.
Why use it?
It preserves evidence that may be lost during isolation, shutdown, or cleanup and can support investigations or legal proceedings.

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

collecting-volatile-evidence-from-compromised-host 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/agent.py, scripts/process.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Collecting Volatile Evidence from Compromised Hosts

When to Use

  • Security incident confirmed and compromised host identified
  • Before system isolation, shutdown, or remediation begins
  • Memory-resident malware suspected (fileless attacks)
  • Need to capture network connections, running processes, and system state
  • Legal proceedings may require forensic evidence preservation
  • Incident requires root cause analysis with volatile data

Prerequisites

  • Forensic collection toolkit on USB or network share (trusted tools)
  • WinPmem/LiME for memory acquisition
  • Write-blocker or forensic workstation for disk imaging
  • Chain of custody documentation forms
  • Secure evidence storage with integrity verification
  • Authorization to collect evidence (legal/HR approval for insider cases)

Workflow

Step 1: Prepare Collection Environment

# Mount forensic USB toolkit (do NOT install tools on compromised system)
# Verify toolkit integrity
sha256sum /mnt/forensic_usb/tools/* > /tmp/toolkit_hashes.txt
diff /mnt/forensic_usb/tools/known_good_hashes.txt /tmp/toolkit_hashes.txt

# Create evidence output directory with timestamps
EVIDENCE_DIR="/mnt/evidence/$(hostname)_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)"
mkdir -p "$EVIDENCE_DIR"
echo "Collection started: $(date -u)" > "$EVIDENCE_DIR/collection_log.txt"
echo "Collector: $(whoami)" >> "$EVIDENCE_DIR/collection_log.txt"
echo "System: $(hostname)" >> "$EVIDENCE_DIR/collection_log.txt"

Step 2: Capture System Memory (Highest Volatility)

# Windows - WinPmem memory acquisition
winpmem_mini_x64.exe "$EVIDENCE_DIR\memdump_$(hostname).raw"

# Linux - LiME kernel module for memory acquisition
insmod /mnt/forensic_usb/lime.ko "path=$EVIDENCE_DIR/memdump_$(hostname).lime format=lime"

# Linux - Alternative using /proc/kcore
dd if=/proc/kcore of="$EVIDENCE_DIR/kcore_dump.raw" bs=1M

# macOS - osxpmem
osxpmem -o "$EVIDENCE_DIR/memdump_$(hostname).aff4"

# Hash the memory dump immediately
sha256sum "$EVIDENCE_DIR/memdump_"* > "$EVIDENCE_DIR/memory_hash.sha256"

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.
