deserialization-dotnet

deserialization-dotnet is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from blacklanternsecurity/red-run. It costs 17 tokens per session (3,377 once invoked), scanned A, original, GPL-3.0.

A security testing guide for exploiting unsafe .NET object deserialization, the process of rebuilding objects from stored or transmitted data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Authorized penetration testing of .NET applications that deserialize data from users or external systems.
Why use it?
It helps find cases where untrusted serialized data could run code or alter application behavior.

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

deserialization-dotnet 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 4d 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.

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.
