race-condition

race-condition is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DorianGallo/hack-skills-local. It costs 50 tokens per session (5,005 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of race-condition, MIT.

A security testing guide for race conditions, where simultaneous requests reach a check and its update before the system can safely finish either one.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test coupons, rewards, balances, inventory, referrals, verification flows, rate limits, and other operations that should happen only once.
Why use it?
It helps find one-time actions that can be repeated or state changes that can become inconsistent under carefully timed concurrent requests.

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

race-condition 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 6d 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.

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.

SKILL: Race Conditions — Testing & Exploitation Playbook

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Treat race conditions as authorization/state integrity issues: non-atomic read-then-write lets multiple requests observe stale state. Prioritize one-time or balance-like operations. Combine parallel transport (HTTP/1.1 last-byte sync, HTTP/2 single-packet, Turbo Intruder gates) with application evidence (duplicate success responses, inconsistent balances, duplicate ledger rows). Authorized testing only. Routing note: for business workflows, coupons, inventory, or one-time rewards, start with this skill and cross-load business-logic-vulnerabilities.


0. QUICK START — What to Test First

Target endpoints where check and update are unlikely to be a single atomic database operation:

Priority Operation class Example paths / parameters
1 One-time redeem / coupon / bonus redeem, apply_coupon, claim_reward, voucher
2 Balance / quota / stock deduction transfer, purchase, reserve, inventory
3 Invite / referral / signup bonus invite_accept, referral_claim
4 Password / email / MFA verification verify_token, confirm_email, reset_password
5 Idempotent-looking APIs without strong keys POST that should succeed only once per user

First moves (conceptual):

  1. Capture the state-changing request in a proxy.
  2. Send 20–100 copies as simultaneously as your tooling allows.
  3. Classify outcome: 0/1 expected successes vs N successes or inconsistent final state.

1. CORE CONCEPT

1.1 TOCTOU (Time-of-check to time-of-use)

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.
