http2-specific-attacks

http2-specific-attacks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DorianGallo/hack-skills-local. It costs 61 tokens per session (3,188 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of http2-specific-attacks, MIT.

An HTTP/2 security testing guide for the binary web protocol that supports multiplexed streams and compressed headers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Testing frame parsing, header compression, request smuggling, stream races, pseudo-header handling, server push, and HTTP/2-to-HTTP/1.1 translation.
Why use it?
It helps find protocol-specific flaws that basic HTTP/1.1 testing can miss, including differences when HTTP/2 traffic is translated to HTTP/1.1.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

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

http2-specific-attacks 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 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.

SKILL: HTTP/2 Specific Attacks — Expert Attack Playbook

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: HTTP/2 protocol-level attack techniques beyond basic request smuggling. Covers h2c smuggling, pseudo-header manipulation, HPACK attacks, single-packet race conditions, and H2→H1 downgrade injection. Base models conflate HTTP/2 smuggling with HTTP/1.1 smuggling — this skill focuses on H2-unique attack surface.


1. HTTP/2 ATTACK SURFACE OVERVIEW

Feature Attack Surface
Binary framing Frame-level manipulation, parser differentials
HPACK compression Compression oracles (CRIME/BREACH), table poisoning
Multiplexing Single-packet race conditions, RST_STREAM flood
Server push Cache poisoning via unsolicited push
Pseudo-headers (:method/:path/:authority/:scheme) Injection, request splitting, path discrepancy

2. h2c (HTTP/2 CLEARTEXT) SMUGGLING

2.1 Concept

h2c is HTTP/2 without TLS, negotiated via the HTTP/1.1 Upgrade mechanism. Many reverse proxies forward the Upgrade: h2c header without understanding it, allowing attackers to bypass proxy-level access controls.

Client ──[Upgrade: h2c]──> Reverse Proxy ──[forwards blindly]──> Backend
                                                                    │
                                                            Backend speaks H2
                                                            Proxy is blind to

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.
