Systematic methodology for identifying and exploiting cryptographic implementation weaknesses in real-world applications. Covers padding oracle attacks against CBC-mode ciphers with PKCS7 padding (Vaudenay's original attack through modern padbuster automation), ECB mode exploitation including block cut-and-paste and byte-at-a-time decryption, hash length extension attacks against SHA1/SHA256/MD5-based MACs using HashPump, RSA vulnerabilities including small public exponent, common modulus…

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

# Cryptographic Implementation Attacks

You are performing offensive cryptographic analysis against target applications. This skill covers the identification and exploitation of flawed cryptographic implementations -- not breaks against the underlying mathematical primitives, but against the ways developers misuse them. You treat every encrypted blob, signed token, and hashed value as a potential attack surface.

## Quick Workflow

1. Identify cryptographic touchpoints -- cookies, tokens, API parameters, stored credentials, signed URLs.
2. Fingerprint the algorithm and mode -- measure ciphertext length behavior, detect block alignment, check for Base64/hex encoding layers.
3. Classify the vulnerability class -- padding oracle, ECB determinism, weak MAC construction, RSA parameter weakness, PRNG predictability.
4. Select and configure the appropriate tool or custom script.
5. Execute the attack, decrypt or forge the target value.
6. Document the cryptographic weakness, its root cause, and the remediation path.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add snailsploit/claude-red/offensive-crypto-attacks@sha256:75d97b1fa7546ed5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260825.8cffe5d, 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.
