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

analyzing-browser-forensics-with-hindsight 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/agent.py, scripts/process.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.

使用 Hindsight 分析浏览器取证

概述

Hindsight 是一款开源浏览器取证(Browser Forensics)工具,专为解析 Google Chrome 和其他基于 Chromium 的浏览器(Microsoft Edge、Brave、Opera、Vivaldi)的痕迹而设计。它从多个浏览器数据库文件中提取和关联数据,创建统一的网络活动时间线。Hindsight 可以解析 URL、下载历史、缓存记录、书签、自动填充记录、已保存密码、浏览器偏好设置、浏览器扩展、HTTP Cookie、本地存储(HTML5 Cookie)、登录数据以及会话/标签信息。该工具以多种输出格式(XLSX、JSON、SQLite)生成按时间顺序排列的时间线,使调查人员能够重建用户网络活动,适用于事件响应(Incident Response)、内部威胁调查和刑事案件。

前置条件

  • Python 3.8+ 并安装 Hindsight(pip install pyhindsight
  • 可访问取证镜像中的浏览器配置文件目录
  • 浏览器配置文件数据(未使用操作系统级加密)
  • 用于分析的 Timeline Explorer 或电子表格应用程序

What ships with it

7 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.
