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 B, and why

hacksmarter-labs scanned grade B with 2 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

HackSmarter Labs

When to Activate

  • The user is on the HackSmarter VPN attacking a lab box (target in 10.1.0.0/16).
  • They name a 2025 lab (Welcome, Hunter, Arasaka, Odyssey, PivotSmarter, etc.).
  • They ask "how do I approach this HackSmarter box" or share a lab IP/hostname.

This skill is a range-specific overlay. It tells you the conventions of the HackSmarter environment and which archetype a box is, then hands off to the deep skills:

Range Conventions

Thing Convention Notes
VPN interface tun0 All Responder/ligolo/listener binds use tun0. Confirm with ip a show tun0.
Your attacker IP 10.200.x.x This is the address targets reach back to (reverse shells, Responder, ligolo proxy).
Target subnet 10.1.0.0/16 Each lab gets its own /24 (e.g. 10.1.239.0/24). The box IP is given on the lab page.
Internal/pivot subnets second 10.1.x.0/24, reached only via a pivot host Multi-host labs (PivotSmarter, ShareThePain, Odyssey, NorthBridge) hide the real target behind a jump box.
Ligolo route 240.0.0.1 = the agent host's own services ip route add 240.0.0.1 dev ligolo exposes loopback-bound services (MSSQL/MySQL on the pivot).
Lab domains custom, non-routable: WELCOME.local, hack.smarter, hsm.local, polution.hsm, *.hs Always add the DC/host to /etc/hosts first — Kerberos and vhost routing break without it.
Flags user.txt (user desktop / /home), root.txt (C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop or /root) Two flags per box is the norm.
Initial creds Often "phished"/provided on the lab page for a low-priv user Easy/Medium AD boxes hand you a starting identity; the lab is the chain from there.

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.
