SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps analyze and exploit custom applications, scripts, or binaries that standard security tools and techniques cannot immediately identify or exploit.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deep Artifact Analysis: Performs source code review, binary analysis, and dynamic tracing.
  • Vulnerability Research: Maps attack surfaces, researches CVEs, and adapts Proofs-of-Concept (PoCs).
  • Use Case: When a penetration tester encounters an unknown binary on a target system that doesn't match any known vulnerability patterns, this Skill can be used to reverse-engineer it, find potential weaknesses, and develop an exploit.

Quick Start

Use the unknown-vector-analysis skill to analyze the custom script located at /opt/custom_app/process.py.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze custom binaries for unknown vulnerabilities when standard security tools fail?

To analyze custom binaries for unknown vulnerabilities, this Skill performs deep artifact analysis, attack surface mapping, and reverse engineering to uncover exploitation vectors when standard technique agents fail. It requires shell access, artifact location, and context from previous agent failures.

What is the best way to reverse engineer unrecognized software for exploit development?

The best way to reverse engineer unrecognized software for exploit development is by using source code review, dynamic tracing, and adapting Proofs-of-Concept (PoCs) through targeted CVE research to identify custom application weaknesses.

How do I map the attack surface of a custom application located on a target system?

To map the attack surface of a custom application, the Skill performs deep artifact analysis on the provided location, executing source code review and binary analysis to identify potential exploitation vectors.

Do I need shell access and artifact location to perform unknown vector analysis?

Yes, you need shell access, artifact location, and context from previous agent failures to perform unknown vector analysis, as the Skill requires these inputs to conduct source code review and dynamic tracing.

Can I adapt Proofs-of-Concept for custom scripts that do not match known CVE patterns?

Yes, you can adapt Proofs-of-Concept for custom scripts that do not match known CVE patterns by researching CVEs, mapping attack surfaces, and reverse engineering the unrecognized software to develop custom exploits.

When should I not use standard technique agents for binary analysis?

You should not use standard technique agents for binary analysis when encountering an unknown binary on a target system that does not match any known vulnerability patterns, requiring reverse engineering to find potential weaknesses.
