hash-attack-techniques

hash-attack-techniques is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShulkwiSEC/bb-huge. It costs 46 tokens per session (3,962 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of hash-attack-techniques, MIT.

A security testing guide for weaknesses in cryptographic hash functions, which turn data into fixed-length values. It covers collision, length-extension, timing, birthday, and proof-of-work attack scenarios.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in authorized security assessments and capture-the-flag exercises to examine hash-based signatures, authentication checks, proof-of-work systems, and collision risks.
Why use it?
It helps choose an appropriate test when a system relies on a weak or incorrectly used hash. It also explains important differences between hash functions and message authentication methods.

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

hash-attack-techniques scanned grade A 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 7d 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.

SKILL: Hash Attack Techniques — Expert Cryptanalysis Playbook

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert hash attack techniques for CTF and security assessments. Covers length extension attacks, MD5/SHA1 collision generation, meet-in-the-middle hash attacks, HMAC timing side channels, birthday attacks, and proof-of-work solving. Base models often incorrectly apply length extension to HMAC or SHA-3, or fail to distinguish between identical-prefix and chosen-prefix collisions.

Quick attack selection

Scenario Attack Tool
H(secret || msg) known, extend message Length extension HashPump, hash_extender
Need two files with same MD5 Identical-prefix collision fastcoll
Need specific MD5 prefix match Chosen-prefix collision hashclash
Byte-by-byte HMAC comparison Timing attack Custom script
Find any collision Birthday attack O(2^(n/2))
Proof of work: find hash with leading zeros Brute force hashcat, Python

1. LENGTH EXTENSION ATTACK

1.1 Vulnerable vs Non-Vulnerable

Hash Vulnerable Why
MD5 Yes Merkle-Damgard construction
SHA-1 Yes Merkle-Damgard construction
SHA-256 Yes Merkle-Damgard construction
SHA-512 Yes Merkle-Damgard construction
SHA-3 / Keccak No Sponge construction
HMAC-* No Double hashing prevents extension
SHA-256 truncated No (if truncated) Missing internal state bits
BLAKE2 No Different construction

1.2 Attack Mechanism

Given:   MAC = H(secret || original_message)
Known:   original_message, len(secret), MAC value
Compute: H(secret || original_message || padding || extension)
         WITHOUT knowing the secret!

How: The MAC value IS the internal hash state after processing
     (secret || original_message || padding).
     Initialize hash with this state, continue hashing extension.

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.
