About this skill

Solve Windows KCTF crackmes with chained checks, RSA gates, lookup tables, SMC loaders, anti-debug, and Feistel-style math. Use when the artifact is a Windows EXE with Key/verify prompts, layered validation, or self-modifying code.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by manyuegong33/r0crawl_skills in skills/kctf-windows-crackme-chain/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Workflow

  1. Classify the file: PE/EXE, packed EXE, SMC loader, or plain crackme.
  2. Identify the gate chain:
    • serial / checksum / RSA / lookup
    • self-modifying stages
    • anti-debug / anti-breakpoint
    • Feistel / finite-field / polynomial gates
  3. Strip the fake path first; recover the real checker or decrypted code.
  4. Separate independent gates and solve the cheapest one first.
  5. Verify with a replay input before trusting the algebra.
  6. Keep the final key/serial reproducible as a command line, not just a pasted value.
