Pentest CTF Crypto

SkillSecurity

Lets your agent identify and break ciphers, hashes, and weak encryption in CTF challenges.

Then ask your AI: use the Pentest CTF Crypto skill

Details

Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.

Add it as a step in a pipeline you build on Ahel, or connect Ahel to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex and ask your AI to use it.

About this skill

Cryptography tools for solving CTF challenges involving ciphers, hashing, and weak encryption.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by jd-opensource/joysafeter in skills/pentest-ctf-crypto/SKILL.md and read by Ahel’s review.

Purpose

Analyze and break cryptographic implementations, including classical ciphers, RSA weak keys, and hash extensions.

Core Workflow

  1. Cipher Identification: Identify the type of encryption or encoding used (e.g., Base64, Caesar, RSA).
  2. Classical Cracking: Brute-force or analyze frequency for classical ciphers using ciphey or online tools.
  3. RSA Attacks: Check for common RSA weaknesses (small e, small factors) using RsaCtfTool.
  4. Hash Analysis: Identify hash types and attempt cracking or length extension attacks using hashcat or hashpump.
  5. Math/Primes: Solve mathematical problems related to cryptography using sagemath.
