ctf-crypto

A practical knowledge base for attacking cryptography challenges in Capture the Flag (CTF) competitions. It covers RSA, AES, elliptic-curve cryptography, random-number generators, classical ciphers, and lattice-based methods.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for identifying encryption schemes, choosing attacks such as small-exponent RSA or padding-oracle attacks, and applying the required mathematics and Python code.
Why use it?
It helps connect the values and encryption setup in a puzzle to a specific attack, instead of treating every problem as ordinary decoding.

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

ctf-crypto 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 3d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to ctf-crypto — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

CTF 密码学攻击知识库

针对 CTF Crypto 题目的实战攻击知识库,提供具体攻击参数、数学公式、Python 代码片段

crypto-toolkit 的区别

  • crypto-toolkit → 编解码操作工具(base64 解码、MD5 哈希、AES 加解密)
  • ctf-crypto → 密码学攻击知识(RSA 小指数攻击怎么做、Padding Oracle 怎么利用)

核心原则

  1. 先识别加密体系 — 看密钥长度、加密模式、已知量,确定攻击方向
  2. 工具验证 — 使用 python_execute 执行攻击代码,用 crypto_decode 做辅助编解码
  3. 参数敏感 — 密码学攻击对参数极其敏感,必须精确计算

Files

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

ctf-crypto is a skill published in the GitHub repository fb0sh/pentester (23 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 752 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to ctf-crypto, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
