ctf-misc
SolidProvides miscellaneous CTF challenge techniques for problems that do not cleanly fit the main categories. Use for encoding puzzles, pyjails, bash jails, RF/SDR, DNS oddities, unicode tricks, esoteric languages, QR or audio puzzles, constraint solving, game theory, unusual sandbox escapes, and hybrid logic puzzles. Prefer a more specific skill first when the challenge is mainly web, pwn, reverse, forensics, malware, OSINT, or crypto. Treat this as the fallback skill for genuine cross-category or edge-case challenges, not the default starting point.

ctf-crypto
Provides cryptography attack techniques for CTF challenges. Use when attacking encryption, hashing, signatures, ZKP, PRNG, or mathematical crypto problems involving RSA, AES, ECC, lattices, LWE, CVP, number theory, Coppersmith, Pollard, Wiener, padding oracle, GCM, key derivation, or stream/block cipher weaknesses.
ctf-pwn
Provides binary exploitation techniques for CTF challenges. Use when you already have a vulnerable native target or service and need to turn memory corruption or low-level primitives into code execution or privilege escalation, such as buffer overflows, format strings, heap bugs, ROP, ret2libc, shellcode, kernel exploitation, seccomp bypass, sandbox escape, or Windows/Linux exploit chains. Do not use it when the main blocker is understanding what the binary does; use reverse engineering first. Do not use it for pure web bugs, disk or packet forensics, or standalone crypto/math challenges.
ctf-forensics
Provides digital forensics and signal analysis techniques for CTF challenges. Use when analyzing disk images, memory dumps, event logs, network captures, cryptocurrency transactions, steganography, PDF analysis, Windows registry, Volatility, PCAP, Docker images, coredumps, side-channel power traces, DTMF audio spectrograms, packet timing analysis, CD audio disc images, or recovering deleted files and credentials.
ctf-osint
Provides open source intelligence techniques for CTF challenges. Use when gathering information from public sources, social media, geolocation, DNS records, username enumeration, reverse image search, Google dorking, Wayback Machine, Tor relays, FEC filings, or identifying unknown data like hashes and coordinates.
ctf-reverse
Provides reverse engineering techniques for CTF challenges. Use when the main job is to understand how a compiled, obfuscated, packed, or virtualized target works before exploiting or solving it, including binaries, APKs, WASM, firmware, custom VMs, bytecode, game clients, malware-like loaders, and anti-debug or anti-analysis logic. Do not use it when the vulnerability is already understood and the remaining task is exploitation; use pwn instead. Do not use it for pure web workflows, log or disk forensics, or standalone crypto problems unless reversing the implementation is the real blocker.
