competition-crypto-mobile

competition-crypto-mobile is a skill for Codex from zhaoxuya520/reverse-skill. It costs 105 tokens per session (607 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist workflow for solving cybersecurity puzzles involving cryptography, encoding, hidden data, and mobile apps. It reconstructs transformations step by step and can inspect APK or IPA files, which are Android and Apple app packages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Decode blobs, recover keys and transformation chains, inspect hidden data in images or other media, analyze app storage, and trace a mobile signer or trust decision.
Why use it?
It helps avoid guessing the final algorithm when data has passed through several encodings, compression steps, keys, or hidden-media techniques. It keeps the exact byte-level details needed to reproduce the result.

About the project

Reverse Skill is a routing package for AI coding agents that selects appropriate reverse-engineering, penetration-testing, and security-research methods and tools for a given target. It is used for tasks involving APKs, binaries, frontend JavaScript, packet captures, CTF challenges, and authorized penetration testing. Its catalogue add-ons provide the skills and instructions that guide these workflows.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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-crypto-mobile 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Competition Crypto Mobile

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 active challenge depends on recovering a transform chain, hidden media payload, mobile signing path, or local trust boundary.

Reply in Simplified Chinese unless the user explicitly requests English.

Quick Start

  1. Decide whether the dominant path is crypto, stego, or mobile.
  2. Recover transforms in order; do not jump straight to the fanciest algorithm.
  3. Record exact parameters and boundaries that affect the result.
  4. Hook the narrowest mobile boundary that proves the behavior.
  5. Reproduce the plaintext, payload, signed request, or accepted branch.

Workflow

1. Crypto And Encoding

  • Reconstruct the chain step by step: container, compression, encoding, xor or substitution, crypto, integrity, final parse.
  • Keep exact keys, IVs, nonces, salts, tags, offsets, and byte order.

2. Stego

  • Inspect metadata, chunk layout, palettes, alpha planes, LSBs, thumbnails, trailers, and transcoding artifacts.
  • Rank decode attempts by evidence, not by brute-force curiosity.

3. Mobile

  • Start with manifest or plist, exported components, deeplinks, native libs, shared prefs, local DBs, and configs.
  • Trace signer logic, token storage, SSL pinning, protobuf or RPC boundaries, and native bridge calls.

Read This Reference

  • Load references/crypto-mobile.md for the transform checklist, hook targets, and evidence packaging.
  • If the task is specifically about Android dynamic tracing, signer hooks, JNI boundaries, or pinning checks, prefer $competition-android-hooking.
  • If the task is specifically about iOS runtime tracing, Keychain access, Objective-C or Swift hooks, or pinning checks inside an IPA, prefer $competition-ios-runtime.
  • If the task is specifically about media carriers, hidden channels, thumbnails, or appended trailers, prefer $competition-stego-media.

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.
