resolving-dynamic-api-hashing

resolving-dynamic-api-hashing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from meltedinhex/analyst-ai-pack. It costs 71 tokens per session (658 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A method for turning hidden numeric API names in Windows malware back into readable Windows function and library names. An API is a function provided by the operating system or a software library.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify the hashing method, compare observed values with API name lists, label matching call sites, and document the resolver.
Why use it?
Malware can hide the functions it uses by storing hashes instead of names, making its behaviour harder to understand. Matching those hashes reveals what the program is trying to call.

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

resolving-dynamic-api-hashing 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/analyst.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.

What it actually says

Resolving Dynamic API Hashing

When to Use

  • A sample resolves APIs by hash (no plaintext import names) and you have the hash constants from disassembly.
  • You need to map each hash back to an API/DLL name to understand functionality.

Do not use this to execute the resolver — it computes hashes over a name wordlist statically and matches them to your observed constants.

Prerequisites

  • The hash constants observed in the binary and (optionally) a names wordlist.

Workflow

Step 1: Identify the algorithm

python scripts/analyst.py id 0x6A4ABC5B

Computes the constant under each supported algorithm against a built-in seed list to suggest which algorithm/seed reproduces known API hashes.

Step 2: Resolve hashes against a wordlist

python scripts/analyst.py resolve hashes.txt --algo ror13 --wordlist names.txt

Brute-forces the provided hashes against the wordlist using the chosen algorithm and reports matches.

Step 3: Annotate the disassembly

Label resolved call sites with their API names to recover behavior.

Step 4: Document the routine

Record the algorithm, seed/initial value, and any key so the routine is reusable.

Validation

  • The chosen algorithm reproduces at least one known API hash (sanity anchor).
  • Resolved names are real exported symbols of plausible DLLs.
  • Unresolved hashes are reported, not silently dropped.

Pitfalls

  • Wrong endianness/rotation direction producing no matches — try variants.
  • Algorithms seeded with a per-sample key; without the key, matches fail.
  • Case sensitivity: some routines hash uppercased names, others as-is.

What ships with it

3 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.
