Internal downstream skill for ctf-sandbox-orchestrator. CTF-sandbox workflow for DFIR chronology, cross-artifact correlation, persistence chains, and incident timeline reconstruction. Use when the user asks to build a forensic timeline, correlate EVTX, PCAP, registry, disk, memory, mailbox, or browser artifacts, explain the order of attacker actions, or pinpoint the stage where the decisive artifact appears. Use only after `$ctf-sandbox-orchestrator` has already established sandbox assumptions…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Competition Forensic Timeline Use this skill only as a downstream specialization after `$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 not finding one artifact, but turning many artifacts into one replayable chronology. Reply in Simplified Chinese unless the user explicitly requests English. ## Quick Start 1. Pick the smallest reliable anchor: first execution, first logon, first network session, first file write, or first mailbox action. 2. Normalize timestamps, time zones, hostnames, users, process IDs, message IDs, and file paths before correlating. 3. Build one minimal chain from foothold to persistence, execution, access, or exfiltration. 4. Separate confirmed event order from inferred gaps. 5. Reproduce the decisive timeline segment that yields the artifact or privilege conclusion. ## Workflow ### 1. Establish Timeline Anchors - Collect only the active surfaces: EVTX, Sysmon, registry, Amcache, prefetch, browser artifacts, mail traces, PCAPs, memory, or filesystem metadata. …

How to install
mdr add novaestellar/novahaku/competition-forensic-timeline@sha256:a223ee9c2403a917The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.9330cc6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
