Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill makes extensive use of system utilities including
tc(traffic control),iperf3,ping, and network attack tools likearpspoofandbettercapto simulate network degradation and traffic interception. These commands are executed via shell scripts inSKILL.mdand through thesubprocessmodule inscripts/agent.py. - [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: Root access via
sudois required and explicitly used throughout the instructions and scripts to modify kernel-level network queuing disciplines (qdiscs), modifyiptablesrules, and perform packet crafting withscapy. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill possesses an attack surface for indirect prompt injection by consuming and parsing output from external network tools.
- Ingestion points: The
measure_baselinefunction inscripts/agent.pyparses JSON output from theiperf3command. Additionally,SKILL.mdsuggests analyzing Zeek connection logs and NetFlow data. - Boundary markers: No explicit boundary markers or instructions to ignore embedded content are used when processing the external tool outputs.
- Capability inventory: The agent has the ability to execute arbitrary system commands via
subprocess.run(found inscripts/agent.py) and perform network operations using thescapylibrary. - Sanitization: Basic JSON parsing is performed on
iperf3output, but no further validation or sanitization of the values is evident before the data is used in report generation.
