Ctf Web

The ctf-web skill enables AI agents to interact with web-based Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges, automating the process of exploring pages, analyzing code, and solving puzzles. It is designed specifically for platforms like HackTheBox or TryHackMe where solutions often require navigating dynamic web interfaces rather than just reading text files.

When to use it

• Automating walkthroughs for beginner-friendly web CTF challenges on platforms like HackTheBox.
• Solving logic-based puzzles that require clicking through multiple pages to find hidden flags.
• Testing AI agents' ability to handle interactive browser environments and form submissions.
• Practicing red teaming techniques in a safe, gamified environment without manual navigation.

Key capabilities

• Navigating multi-step web challenges that require sequential actions.
• Identifying and extracting hidden flags from page source or dynamic content.
• Executing specific click sequences to trigger puzzle solutions.
• Handling interactive elements like forms, dropdowns, and modals within CTF contexts.

Example prompts

• "Navigate to the first level of this HackTheBox web challenge and find the flag."
• "Click through the login page, enter the provided credentials, and extract the session token."
• "Analyze the source code of this webpage to locate a hidden comment containing the solution."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the AI agent has access to a browser environment capable of executing JavaScript interactions, as static analysis alone may not solve dynamic challenges. Some CTF platforms require human verification or CAPTCHA bypassing, which this skill may not fully automate without additional tools.
