ctf-misc

ctf-misc is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Netw0rkNoob/VulnClaw. It costs 54 tokens per session (479 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide for miscellaneous Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges, which are security puzzles with hidden answers. It covers sandbox escapes, decoding, hidden data in files, virtual-machine reversing, platform APIs, and Linux privilege escalation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when solving Python or Bash sandbox puzzles, layered encodings, QR codes, audio or image files, game or custom virtual machines, CTFd tasks, or shells where you need higher privileges.
Why use it?
It helps you identify what a strange challenge is testing and find a relevant technique without searching through unrelated notes.

About the project

VulnClaw is an AI-driven command-line penetration-testing agent that turns natural-language instructions into an automated workflow for reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery, exploitation, and report generation. It is intended for authorized penetration tests, CTF competitions, security teaching, and red-team exercises, using LLMs and MCP tools. The catalogue contains its specialized skills for security-testing tasks.

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00054 $0.00479

Security

Grade A, and why

ctf-misc 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 9d 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.

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.

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.
