SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides an automated orchestration layer for ambiguous CTF challenges by determining challenge type and dispatching the appropriate specialized solve workflow, reducing manual triage and speeding up initial analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic Classification: Heuristics based on file type, keywords, and service indicators to map challenges to categories like pwn, web, crypto, reverse, forensics, osint, malware, or misc.
  • Skill Orchestration: Recommends or triggers specialized skills (ctf-pwn, ctf-web-methodology, ctf-crypto, ctf-reverse, ctf-forensics, etc.) to follow an optimized solving path.
  • Triage & Recovery Strategies: Provides fallback actions when stuck—reclassification guidance, additional reconnaissance checks, and simplified alternative approaches.
  • Use Case: When given an unknown challenge binary or service endpoint, use this Skill to determine whether to run reverse-engineering, fuzzing, crypto analysis, or forensic extraction and then proceed with the appropriate sub-skill.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to analyze the provided challenge files or endpoint and return a classified solving plan with recommended next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions about ctf-solve

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I auto-classify CTF challenges when I only have an unknown binary or endpoint?

To auto-classify CTF challenges, the orchestrator applies heuristics based on file type, keywords, and service indicators to map unknown binaries or endpoints to categories like pwn, web, crypto, or forensics.

What is the best way to triage an ambiguous CTF artifact like a PCAP or archive?

The best way to triage ambiguous CTF artifacts is to apply file-type and keyword heuristics to determine the challenge type, which then recommends a targeted solving workflow like forensic extraction or crypto analysis.

Can I use automated orchestration to route a challenge to specialized reverse or pwn skills?

Yes, automated orchestration can route challenges by recommending or triggering specialized sub-skills like ctf-reverse, ctf-pwn, or ctf-web-methodology to follow an optimized solving path after classification.

What should I do when I get stuck during a CTF challenge classification workflow?

When stuck during a CTF challenge classification workflow, you should use triage and recovery strategies that provide fallback actions like reclassification guidance, additional reconnaissance checks, and simplified alternative approaches.

Does CTF challenge classification work for web pages and network services?

Yes, CTF challenge classification works for web pages and network services by using service indicators and keyword heuristics to map them to categories like web or pwn and trigger the appropriate methodology.

Do I need to manually specify the category before starting CTF challenge analysis?

No, you do not need to manually specify the category before starting CTF challenge analysis, as the orchestrator automatically determines the challenge type from the provided files and endpoints to dispatch the workflow.
