exploit-development

exploit-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hypnguyen1209/offensive-claude. It costs 61 tokens per session (2,635 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for turning a confirmed memory-corruption vulnerability into a working proof of concept. Memory corruption is a software bug that can make a program read, write, or execute data in unintended ways.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study stack and heap bugs, format-string flaws, browser or JIT bugs, and kernel vulnerabilities, including work involving ASLR, DEP, CFG, CET, and similar protections.
Why use it?
It helps researchers test whether a crash can be made reliable despite protections used by modern operating systems, browsers, and programs. It also pairs offensive techniques with detection considerations.

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

exploit-development 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 executable files (scripts/exploit_context.py, scripts/feasibility_profile.py, scripts/fmtstr_leak.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Exploit Development

End-to-end weaponization: turn a confirmed bug class into a reliable, version-pinned PoC, then a primitive chain (leak -> R/W -> control flow), against current mitigations. Every cluster pairs the offensive path with detection telemetry and OPSEC.

When to Activate

  • A confirmed vulnerability needs a working, reliable PoC (>=90% success target).
  • Userland binary exploitation: stack overflow, heap (UAF/overflow/double-free), format string.
  • Defeating modern mitigations: ASLR/PIE, NX/DEP, stack canaries, Full RELRO, CFG, Intel CET shadow stack, V8 Sandbox/pointer compression.
  • Browser/JIT engine exploitation (V8 type confusion, addrof/fakeobj, WASM jump-table pivot).
  • Local privilege escalation via Linux/Windows kernel memory corruption.
  • Converting a crash into a stable read/write/execute primitive chain.
