Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned gmh5225/awesome-llvm-security at dad2f21a55.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The binary-lifting skill allows an AI agent to perform binary lifting, a technique for transforming compiled code. Specifically, it enables the extraction of functions from executable binaries and their subsequent manipulation or analysis. This can be useful for reverse engineering, vulnerability research, and security auditing.

When to use it

  • Reverse Engineering: Extracting functions from an unknown binary to understand its functionality.
  • Vulnerability Research: Identifying potential vulnerabilities within a compiled program by analyzing extracted code.
  • Security Auditing: Examining the behavior of a closed-source application through function extraction and analysis.
  • Malware Analysis: Dissecting malicious software to understand its operation and purpose.

Key capabilities

  • Function Extraction: Isolates individual functions from an executable binary.
  • Code Transformation: Allows for modification or manipulation of extracted code.
  • Binary Analysis: Facilitates deeper understanding of compiled program behavior.

Example prompts

  • "Extract all functions from this ELF file."
  • "Can you identify any interesting function calls in this binary?"
  • "Lift the main function from this executable and show me its assembly code."

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on the complexity of the binary. It is best suited for relatively simple binaries, as complex obfuscation or packing can hinder accurate extraction.
