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!)

bash
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

Quick Commands

bash
# Auto-decrypt
ciphey -t "text"

# XOR analysis
xortool encrypted.bin
xortool -c 20 encrypted.bin  # Expect spaces

# Factor large n
yafu "factor(<n>)"

# RSA tool
python3 RsaCtfTool.py -n <n> -e <e> --uncipher <c>

# Lattice (SageMath)
sage solve.sage
