Agent skill
crypto-analysis
Breaks cryptographic systems and decrypts ciphertext. Use when working with RSA, AES, XOR, classical ciphers, hash functions, or when challenge involves encryption, decryption, keys, or mathematical crypto attacks.

Crypto Analysis Skill
Quick Workflow
Progress:
- [ ] Try Ciphey auto-decrypt first
- [ ] Identify crypto type (RSA/AES/XOR/classical)
- [ ] Check for known weaknesses
- [ ] Implement attack
- [ ] Decrypt flag
Step 1: Auto-Decrypt (Try First!)
ciphey -t "ENCODED_TEXT" # Auto-detects and decrypts
ciphey -f encrypted.txt # From file
Step 2: Identify Crypto Type
| Pattern | Crypto Type | Reference |
|---|---|---|
n, e, c variables |
RSA | reference/rsa-attacks.md |
| 16/32 byte key, IV | AES | reference/aes-attacks.md |
| XOR operations | XOR/Stream | reference/classical.md |
| Polynomial mod | Lattice | reference/lattice.md |
RSA Attack Decision Tree
├── e small (≤5)? → Direct eth root
├── e very large? → Wiener's Attack
├── Multiple n,e,c? → Hastad's Broadcast
├── Same n, diff e? → Common Modulus
├── GCD(n1,n2) > 1? → Common Factor
├── p ≈ q? → Fermat Factorization
├── dp/dq leaked? → Partial Key Recovery
└── Default → FactorDB / yafu
Full implementations: reference/rsa-attacks.md

agent-ops-spec
Manage specification documents in .agent/specs/. Use when user provides requirements, acceptance criteria, or feature descriptions that need to be tracked and validated against implementation.
agent-ops-state
Maintain .agent state files. Use at session start, after meaningful steps, and before concluding: read/update constitution/memory/focus/issues/baseline consistently.
