BC anti-reversing-techniques

Understand anti-reversing, obfuscation, and protection techniques encountered during software analysis. Use this skill when analyzing malware evasion techniques, when implementing anti-debugging protections for CTF challenges, when reverse engineering packed binaries, or when building security research tools that need to detect virtualized environments.

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
    • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

    Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
