ctf-pwn SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

ctf-pwn from naravid19/claude-ctf-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add naravid19/claude-ctf-skills/ctf-pwn@git:20261024.8f9bd65

Pins git:20261024.8f9bd65 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Provides binary exploitation techniques for CTF challenges. Use when you already have a vulnerable native target or service and need to turn memory corruption or low-level primitives into code execution or privilege escalation, such as buffer overflows, format strings, heap bugs, ROP, ret2libc, shellcode, kernel exploitation, seccomp bypass, sandbox escape, or Windows/Linux exploit chains. Do not use it when the main blocker is understanding what the binary does; use reverse engineering first.…

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

# CTF Binary Exploitation (Pwn)

Quick reference for binary exploitation (pwn) CTF challenges. Each technique has a one-liner here; see supporting files for full details.

## Prerequisites

**Python packages (all platforms):**
```bash
pip install "pwntools==4.15.0" "ROPgadget==7.7" "ropper==1.13.13"
# or via script: bash scripts/install_ctf_tools.sh python
```

**uv alternative:**
```bash
uv venv && uv pip install "pwntools==4.15.0" "ROPgadget==7.7" "ropper==1.13.13"
```

**Linux (apt):**
```bash
apt install gdb binutils strace ltrace qemu-system-x86
```

**Optional cross-arch (ARM/MIPS — Debian/Ubuntu):**
```bash
apt install qemu-user qemu-user-static gdb-multiarch binutils-multiarch libc6-armhf-cross libc6-arm64-cross libc6-mips-cross
```

**macOS (Homebrew):**
```bash
brew install gdb binutils qemu
```

**Ruby gems (all platforms):**
```bash
gem install one_gadget seccomp-tools
```

**Manual install:**
- pwndbg — Linux: [GitHub](https://github.com/pwndbg/pwndbg), macOS: `brew install pwndbg/tap/pwndbg-gdb`
- checksec — included with pwntools (`checksec --file=binary`)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add naravid19/claude-ctf-skills/ctf-pwn@sha256:b869c797f60905ec

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.8f9bd65, 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.
