competition-stego-media

competition-stego-media is a skill for Codex from Saprophytic-seattle561/reverse-skill. It costs 100 tokens per session (599 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of competition-stego-media, MIT.

A specialized workflow for capture-the-flag challenges that hide information inside images, audio, video, documents, or file containers. This practice, called steganography, conceals data in metadata, unused space, media channels, or appended content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect file headers, metadata, thumbnails, palettes, transparency, least-significant bits, video frames, document structure, appended data, and recovered payloads.
Why use it?
It checks the file's real structure and simpler hiding places before deeper analysis. Extracted layers are kept separate so the recovery process can be repeated and verified.

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

competition-stego-media 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.

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.

Competition Stego Media

Use this skill only as a downstream specialization after $ctf-sandbox-orchestrator is already active and has established sandbox assumptions, node ownership, and evidence priorities. If that has not happened yet, return to $ctf-sandbox-orchestrator first.

Use this skill when the challenge lives inside a media container, hidden channel, or appended payload rather than a conventional crypto blob.

Reply in Simplified Chinese unless the user explicitly requests English.

Quick Start

  1. Confirm the real container type, dimensions, duration, codec, and chunk layout before guessing a hidden layer.
  2. Check metadata, thumbnails, sidecar files, and appended trailers before deeper signal-domain work.
  3. Rank candidate channels by evidence: alpha, palette, LSB, transform-domain residue, frame order, or container slack.
  4. Preserve each extracted layer separately so the transform chain stays reproducible.
  5. Stop when the hidden payload is reproduced, not merely suspected.

Workflow

1. Establish Container Truth

  • Inspect headers, chunk tables, EXIF or document metadata, container indexes, thumbnails, and file size anomalies.
  • Compare declared format against observed structure to catch polyglots, appended archives, or malformed trailers.
  • Record exact offsets, frame numbers, or channel boundaries that look promising.

2. Inspect Candidate Channels

  • Check alpha, palette order, RGB or YUV planes, LSBs, spectrogram features, document object streams, or video frame deltas.
  • Prefer evidence-driven attempts over brute forcing every transform.
  • Note whether the payload is plain bytes, another media layer, compressed data, or an encrypted blob.

3. Reconstruct The Hidden Payload Path

  • Keep the chain in order: container -> channel or carrier -> extraction -> decompression or decode -> final parse.
  • Separate extraction success from final interpretation; a channel hit is not the same as artifact recovery.
  • If the problem becomes primarily about cryptography after extraction, hand off to the broader crypto skill.
