Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00080 | $0.02903 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00040 | $0.01452 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00581 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00290 |
Grade C, and why
analyzing-memory-dumps-with-volatility scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 5d 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.
Harvests environment variableshighData exfiltration
Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

Analyzing Memory Dumps with Volatility
When to Use
- A compromised system's RAM has been captured and needs forensic analysis for malware artifacts
- Detecting fileless malware that exists only in memory without persistent disk artifacts
- Extracting encryption keys, passwords, or decrypted configuration from process memory
- Identifying process injection, DLL injection, or process hollowing in a compromised system
- Analyzing rootkit activity that hides from standard disk-based forensic tools
Do not use for disk image analysis; use Autopsy, FTK, or Sleuth Kit for disk forensics.
Prerequisites
- Volatility 3 installed (
pip install volatility3) with symbol tables for target OS - Memory dump file acquired from the target system (using WinPmem, LiME, or DumpIt)
- Knowledge of the source OS version for correct profile/symbol selection
- Sufficient disk space (memory dumps can be 4-64 GB)
- YARA rules for scanning memory for known malware signatures
- Strings utility for extracting readable strings from memory regions
Workflow
Step 1: Identify the Memory Dump Profile
Determine the operating system and version from the memory dump:
# Volatility 3: Automatic OS detection
vol3 -f memory.dmp windows.info
# List available plugins
vol3 -f memory.dmp --help
# If symbols are needed, download from:
# https://downloads.volatilityfoundation.org/volatility3/symbols/
# For Volatility 2 (legacy):
vol2 -f memory.dmp imageinfo
vol2 -f memory.dmp kdbgscan
Step 2: Enumerate Running Processes
List all processes and identify suspicious entries:
# List all processes
vol3 -f memory.dmp windows.pslist
# Process tree (parent-child relationships)
vol3 -f memory.dmp windows.pstree
# Scan for hidden/unlinked processes (rootkit detection)
vol3 -f memory.dmp windows.psscan
# Compare pslist vs psscan to find hidden processes
# Processes in psscan but not pslist are potentially hidden by rootkits
# Check for process hollowing
vol3 -f memory.dmp windows.pslist --dump
# Then verify the dumped EXE matches the expected binary on disk
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.

analyzing-memory-dumps-with-volatility is a skill published in the GitHub repository plurigrid/asi (62 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 2,903 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (harvests environment variables). It is 98% identical to analyzing-memory-dumps-with-volatility, differing in 29 lines, and is treated as a copy.
