Full Analysis
  • [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill is explicitly designed to identify and extract sensitive information from network traffic.
  • Targets include HTTP Basic Authentication headers (http.authorization), session cookies (http.cookie), and form POST data which typically contains usernames and passwords.
  • It instructs the agent to summarize and report discovered credentials, API keys, and session tokens to the user.
  • [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The instructions explicitly guide the agent to suggest or use sudo to overcome permission issues during live network captures.
  • Evidence: "Live capture may require root privileges. If permission denied, suggest running with sudo or using sudo tshark directly."
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill executes complex shell commands via tshark and calls external wrapper scripts (e.g., capture-http-credentials.sh) to perform analysis.
  • It utilizes the $ARGUMENTS variable directly in shell commands, which could lead to command injection if the user-provided interface name or file path is not properly sanitized by the platform.
  • [DYNAMIC_CONTEXT_INJECTION]: The skill uses the !command`` syntax to execute shell commands at load time for environment detection.
  • Evidence: !"test -f scripts/tshark/capture-http-credentials.sh && echo "YES" || echo "NO"" is used to determine which execution path the agent should take.
