red-run-ctf

red-run-ctf is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from blacklanternsecurity/red-run. It costs 43 tokens per session (10,771 once invoked), scanned B, original, GPL-3.0.

A command-only workflow for running a multi-stage penetration test, a security test that looks for ways to break into a system. It covers information gathering, mapping exposed areas, linking vulnerabilities, and routing work to specialized techniques.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to coordinate reconnaissance, attack-surface mapping, vulnerability chaining, and related penetration-testing tasks.
Why use it?
It organizes a broad security assessment into separate stages so important parts of the test are less likely to be missed.

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

red-run-ctf scanned grade B with 3 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 1mo 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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

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

5. Present: "Run: sudo bash ./temp_hosts-update.sh"

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

Recursive force deletemediumDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- Delete → Bash: rm -rf ~/.claude/teams/red-run/ ~/.claude/tasks/red-run/

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

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

red-run-ctf is a skill published in the GitHub repository blacklanternsecurity/red-run (291 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed GPL-3.0. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 10,771 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 3 findings (asks for root, recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
