competition-file-parser-chain

competition-file-parser-chain is a skill for Codex from zhaoxuya520/reverse-skill. It costs 109 tokens per session (613 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialized workflow for tracing an uploaded file through storage, archive extraction, format conversion, parsing, and deserialization. Deserialization means turning stored data back into objects or values that software can use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect upload and import paths, preserve original and derived files, record parser choices and temporary paths, and reproduce the smallest file-processing chain that demonstrates the relevant behavior.
Why use it?
It helps security testers understand what happens to a file at every processing boundary and separate visible upload checks from backend behavior. It must be used after the main CTF sandbox workflow establishes the testing setup.

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.

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-file-parser-chain 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 10d 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.

Competition File Parser Chain

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 hard part is following a file from ingress through every parser, extractor, converter, or deserializer boundary that matters.

Reply in Simplified Chinese unless the user explicitly requests English.

Quick Start

  1. Preserve the original upload and every derived artifact separately.
  2. Map the chain in order: ingress, temp storage, archive extraction, format conversion, parser call, deserialization, and final consumer.
  3. Record filenames, MIME guesses, extensions, temp paths, and parser choices before mutating anything.
  4. Separate client-visible validation from backend parser behavior.
  5. Reproduce the smallest file-processing chain that yields the decisive branch or artifact.

Workflow

1. Map File Ingress And Derivation

  • Record request shape, multipart names, content type, filename, temp paths, upload staging, and storage keys.
  • Note every derived artifact: extracted archive member, converted preview, generated thumbnail, temp document, or deserialized object.
  • Keep original file and each derivative labeled separately.

2. Trace Parser And Conversion Boundaries

  • Show which parser, converter, extractor, or deserializer runs at each step.
  • Record parser-specific decisions driven by extension, MIME, magic bytes, schema, archive member names, or embedded metadata.
  • Distinguish parsing success, preview success, conversion success, and business-logic acceptance.

3. Reduce To The Decisive File Chain

  • Compress the result to the smallest sequence: upload -> derived artifact -> parser boundary -> resulting effect.
  • State clearly whether the decisive weakness lives in archive handling, MIME inference, file conversion, path resolution, or deserialization.
  • If the chain becomes mostly a generic async worker problem after enqueue, hand off to the tighter queue or worker skill.
