Full Analysis
CRITICAL E006: Malicious code pattern detected in skill scripts.
- Malicious code pattern detected (high risk: 0.90). High-risk offensive tooling: the content explicitly provides scripts and commands to perform bandwidth throttling, traffic shaping, slowloris-style connection exhaustion, packet floods, and MITM interception (ARP spoofing/Bettercap) — techniques that enable DoS and traffic interception and include stealthy “progressive throttling” tactics; there are no obvious backdoor, credential-exfiltration, or obfuscated remote‑access constructs, but the material is clearly abusable for malicious network attacks if used without authorization.
MEDIUM W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.
- Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 1.00). The prompt instructs use of sudo and system-level network manipulation (tc/netem, ARP spoofing, sysctl changes, Bettercap), which modify the host's network stack and require elevated privileges, thus pushing the agent to change the machine state and potentially bypass protections.
