competition-linux-credential-pivot

competition-linux-credential-pivot is a skill for Codex from xAmirHamza77/ReverseOps-Skill. It costs 110 tokens per session (572 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of competition-linux-credential-pivot, MIT.

A specialized workflow for tracing Linux login credentials, service tokens, SSH keys, cloud and container secrets, and trust paths between hosts in a capture-the-flag sandbox. It is meant to run after the broader sandbox workflow has established the environment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Investigating Linux authentication artifacts and reproducing how a recovered credential or token leads to accepted access in a controlled CTF environment.
Why use it?
It keeps credential storage, where credentials are accepted, and resulting access in one evidence trail. It also separates local privilege increases from movement to another host.

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 B, and why

competition-linux-credential-pivot scanned grade B 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.

Competition Linux Credential Pivot

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 decisive edge is Linux credential material and where that material is accepted.

Reply in Simplified Chinese unless the user explicitly requests English.

Quick Start

  1. Separate credential storage from accepted privilege.
  2. Record user, process, namespace, socket, key file, and service trust boundary before conclusions.
  3. Keep artifact recovery, replay path, and resulting capability in one chain.
  4. Distinguish local escalation from lateral host pivot.
  5. Reproduce one minimal artifact-to-accepted-access path.

Workflow

1. Map Credential And Trust Artifacts

  • Record SSH keys, agent sockets, kubeconfigs, cloud tokens, service-account secrets, env vars, config files, and process memory clues.
  • Note sudoers rules, capabilities, setuid binaries, systemd unit context, and namespace boundaries.
  • Keep each artifact tied to owner, scope, and expected accepting service.

2. Prove Replay And Pivot

  • Show where key, token, socket, or secret is accepted: SSH, API, Unix socket, container runtime, or control-plane endpoint.
  • Record host target, protocol, principal, and resulting session or privilege.
  • Distinguish authentication success from useful capability gain.

3. Reduce To Decisive Linux Pivot Chain

  • Compress to: recovered artifact -> accepted replay path -> pivot host or privilege transition -> resulting capability.
  • State whether root cause is weak key handling, token leakage, socket trust, sudo or capability abuse, or namespace crossover.
  • If the chain pivots into kernel exploit boundaries, hand off to kernel container escape skill.

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.
