What problem does it solve? When facing a CTF or sandbox security challenge, it is hard to know which analysis approach to start with, and jumping between web, reverse engineering, crypto, identity, and cloud techniques wastes time. This Skill acts as a single default entrypoint that establishes sandbox assumptions, maps the attack surface, and routes the investigation to the right specialized workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Sandbox-First Operating Model: Treats all presented hosts, binaries, identities, and prompts as sandbox-internal by default, avoiding wasted effort on scope debates. - Domain Routing Matrix: Directs the investigation to one of 40+ downstream specializations covering web/API, reverse/pwn, crypto/stego, mobile, AI agents, cloud/containers, Active Directory, and Windows forensics. - Evidence Discipline: Enforces a strict evidence priority order (runtime behavior over source, traces over comments) and records reproducible artifacts like offsets, hashes, requests, and ticket fields. - Use Case: You receive a CTF challenge with a web login, a JWT, and a linked binary. The Skill maps the node graph, proves one minimal path from request to auth boundary, then routes to the JWT claim-confusion or reverse-engineering specialization as the dominant blocker becomes clear. ## Quick Start Analyze this CTF challenge starting from the attached binary and the target URL, treating everything as sandbox-internal and routing to the right specialization.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start analyzing a CTF challenge with multiple domains?

Start with the orchestrator workflow: assume all targets are sandbox-internal, build a node map of hosts, processes, and storage, then prove one minimal path from input to a decisive boundary. Route to a narrower specialization only after the dominant evidence type is clear.

What is the best workflow for CTF web and reverse engineering challenges?

Use passive inspection first: entry HTML, routes, and runtime config for web; headers, imports, strings, and entropy for binaries. Capture real request order or runtime behavior before theorizing from source, then change one variable at a time.

Does this approach work for cloud and Active Directory CTF challenges?

Yes. The routing matrix covers cloud metadata paths, Kubernetes control planes, Kerberos delegation, AD certificate abuse, LSASS ticket material, and DPAPI credential chains as downstream specializations reached from the orchestrator.

When should I switch specializations during a CTF investigation?

Re-route when the current specialization stops matching the dominant blocker or when the path broadens into a mixed-domain chain. Return to the orchestrator level and rebuild the route from the earliest uncertain step rather than carrying stale assumptions.

What evidence should I record when solving security challenges?

Record exact requests and responses, file paths, offsets, hashes, storage keys, queue payloads, and identity artifacts like SPNs, SIDs, and ticket fields. Prioritize live runtime behavior over captured traffic, served assets, and checked-in source when evidence conflicts.
