rsa-attack-techniques

rsa-attack-techniques is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yaklang/hack-skills. It costs 53 tokens per session (3,694 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cryptanalysis guide for RSA, a public-key encryption and signing system. It helps select attacks based on known values such as the modulus, exponent, ciphertext, key size, or padding behaviour.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for CTFs and authorised assessments involving factorisation, small-message attacks, lattice methods, broadcast attacks, common moduli, padding oracles, and fault attacks.
Why use it?
It helps determine when weak keys, small exponents, shared factors, faulty padding, or implementation mistakes expose the plaintext or enable forgery.

About the project

HackSkills is an organized knowledge base of installable skills that gives AI agents practical security knowledge across areas such as web security, privilege escalation, reverse engineering, and digital forensics. It is intended for bug bounty work, penetration testing, CTF competitions, and authorized security research. The catalogue entries are the project's own master, category, and topic skills.

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

rsa-attack-techniques 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 3d 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: RSA Attack Techniques — Expert Cryptanalysis Playbook

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert RSA attack techniques for CTF and authorized security assessments. Covers factorization attacks, small exponent exploits, lattice-based approaches (Wiener/Boneh-Durfee/Coppersmith), broadcast attacks, common modulus, padding oracles, and fault attacks. Base models often suggest attacks that don't match the given parameters or miss the correct attack selection based on what's known.

Advanced Reference

Also load RSA_ATTACK_CATALOG.md when you need:

  • Detailed SageMath/Python implementation for each attack
  • Step-by-step mathematical derivation
  • Edge cases and failure conditions per attack

Quick attack selection

Changes

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.

rsa-attack-techniques is a skill published in the GitHub repository yaklang/hack-skills (2,098 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 3,694 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
