binary-protection-bypass

binary-protection-bypass is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SecurityTalent/bugskill-ai. It costs 52 tokens per session (3,265 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of binary-protection-bypass, MIT.

A guide to identifying and bypassing protections built into compiled programs, such as address randomisation, non-executable memory, stack canaries, and read-only relocation tables. These protections are designed to make memory-corruption attacks harder.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports binary security testing involving ELF programs, memory leaks, return-oriented programming, stack protection, and other compiler or operating-system defences.
Why use it?
A vulnerability alone may not be enough to control a protected program. The guide connects each protection with the types of information or techniques commonly used to work around it.

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

binary-protection-bypass 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 1mo 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.

SKILL: Binary Protection Bypass — Expert Attack Playbook

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert binary protection identification and bypass techniques. Covers ASLR, PIE, NX, RELRO, canary, FORTIFY_SOURCE, stack clash, CET shadow stack, and ARM MTE. Each protection is paired with its bypass methods and required primitives. Distilled from ctf-wiki mitigation sections and real-world exploitation. Base models often confuse which protections block which attacks and miss the combinatorial effect of multiple protections.

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.
