  • A PE/EXE has name+serial prompts

What it does

Kctf Algebraic Crackme Chain is an agent skill from manyuegong33/r0crawl_skills. Solve KCTF Windows crackmes with layered codecs, 32/64-bit shell thunks, .data-resident code, and final algebraic or polynomial checks. Use when a PE/EXE has name+serial prompts, huge staged serials, lookup-table mixers, or root-finding gates.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/pattern.md`).

The repository describes itself as: r0crawlskills is a massive reverse-engineering skill arsenal for web, Android, iOS, Frida, native binaries, protocols, malware, firmware, and anti-analysis—built for beginners…

When your agent uses it

  • A PE/EXE has name+serial prompts
  • Huge staged serials
  • Lookup-table mixers
  • Root-finding gates

Example prompts

  • “/kctf-algebraic-crackme-chain”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Inventory the PE, entrypoint, sections, imports, prompt strings, and output strings.
  2. Separate shell code from real logic. If code lives in .data, treat it as executable.
  3. Identify each layer
  4. Validate each layer on
  5. Keep three artifacts distinct
  6. Save the replay command plus the smallest dump needed to reproduce the result.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b9eb545. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Kctf Algebraic Crackme Chain loads about 467 tokens when it runs, and up to ~893 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 224 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~467
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~893

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 224 words (~467 tokens).

“Use this for KCTF-style Windows crackmes where the visible checker is only a shell and the real logic is split across:”
