reap-09-kernel-analysis SKILL.md skillA
reap-09-kernel-analysis from joasasantos/rea-prompts is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

REA prompt pack: Kernel analysis (3 ready-to-paste prompts). Use when doing reverse-engineering investigation of kernel analysis with REA (rea.tools) via an AI coding agent.
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
# REAP — 9. Kernel analysis Part of REAP (REA Investigation Prompts). Replace everything in <angle brackets>; keep each request focused on one feature. Demand file/function/address evidence and separate facts from hypotheses. ### Driver inspection (Windows / Linux) ```text Use REA on <driver binary: .sys / .ko>. Identify the format and target OS version, the entry/init routine, the device object and driver dispatch table, every IOCTL code with its input/output buffer validation, the callbacks/notifications it registers, and the memory it reads or writes outside its own allocations. Map each finding to function/address evidence. Static analysis only — do not load the driver. ``` ### IOCTL attack-surface enumeration ```text Use REA on <driver>. Enumerate all control codes handled, and for each: the handler function, how it validates input/output buffers (probe methods, size checks, IRQL assumptions), and any copy_to_user/copy_from_user or memcpy with attacker-controlled length. Rank the handlers by risk with evidence for the ranking. ``` ### Kernel subsystem / syscall behavior ```text Use REA on <kernel binary or module> to explain how <subsystem/syscall> …

How to install
mdr add joasasantos/rea-prompts/reap-09-kernel-analysis@sha256:a0a356e45f41af6dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.9bd45a8, 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.
