Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill provides commands for network sniffing and traffic manipulation.
- Evidence: Use of
tcpdump -A -vvvfor full traffic capture andsocat -v TCP-LISTEN:8080,fork TCP:<target-svc>:80for man-in-the-middle attacks. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill facilitates the capture and potential extraction of sensitive information from internal service traffic.
- Evidence: Instructions to save traffic to
/tmp/capture.pcapfor later analysis and recommendations to monitor service-to-service communication for flag or token data. - [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The skill describes methods to specifically target and harvest authentication secrets.
- Evidence: Grep patterns are provided to extract
flag,secret,password,token,key,Authorizationheaders, andCookievalues from HTTP payloads. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill exposes the agent to untrusted external data by reading network traffic which may contain malicious instructions.
- Ingestion points: Live network traffic captured via
tcpdumpand redirected viasocat(SKILL.md). - Boundary markers: None used to separate captured data from the agent's instructions.
- Capability inventory: The skill uses
ps,tcpdump, andsocatto inspect and intercept environment data. - Sanitization: No sanitization or validation is applied to the intercepted network payloads before they are processed by the agent.
