A Cryptographic Suite Created by The CosmodiumCS Development Team
SkeletonKey is an advanced cryptography hacking tool created by Cosmodium CyberSecurity (with an original joint development with SSG). It was originally refereed to as "The Codex Project", and later "Cryptex" after a joint development. After a group conflict, the CCS developers left the group to create "SkeletonKey", which aims to become a leading cryptographic hacking suite. SkeletonKey is capable of advanced encryption, decryption, and breaking ciphers through various methods. These methods include but are not limited to brute-forcing, cryptographic word-listing, letter frequencies, plaintext formatting, and cracking.

- Earth Invader (SkeletonKey Discord Bot)
- Linux (see
install.sh --help) - Either Bash or Zsh
- Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/CosmodiumCS/SkeletonKey- Execute installer
YES the SkeletonKey directory IS supposed to disappear
cd SkeletonKey
chmod +x
./install.sh- Restart your terminal
Run the following for help
key --help- The help menu will return a list of all available ciphers
- You can append the flag for a cipher after
keyto get help for a cipher - Here as an example for the Caesar Cipher
cc
key cc
- The returned arguments can be passed in addition
- These arguments are the most popular among the ciphers
-e- encryption-d- decryption-b- breaking/brute-forcing-k- encryption key-t- input text-i- input file-o- output file- However, each cipher will have its own unique arguments for additional features
key cc -e -t "hello world" -k 5The Keyconsole is a more expansive way of using SkeletonKey. It allows the user to open a console in their terminal that is directly connected to the SkeletonKey libraries (comparable to Metasploit or OnlyRAT). The Keyconsole can allow users to run multiple ciphers back to back to back.
- We can execute the Keyconsole by running the following:
key- Now multiple ciphers can be run back to back with ease
[~] root@SkeletonKey $ cc -e -t "hello world" -k 5
...
[~] root@SkeletonKey $ vc -e -t "hello world" -k hello- SkeletonKey also has various commands for console interaction
help- displays help menuupdate- updates SkeletonKey to latest versionversion- displays current versionexit- exits Keyconsole- Any other command are run through the command line
The development team will continuously be pushing out new versions of SkeletonKey. To prevent users from continuously having to clone the repository, we made an update function.
- Argument Parsing:
key --update- Keyconsole:
key
[~] root@SkeletonKey $ updateIf at any point you are unsatisfied with the SkeletonKey project [and its awesomeness], You can run the following to get it off of your computer.
- Argument Parsing:
key --remove- Keyconsole:
key
[~] root@SkeletonKey $ removeThe Earth Invader bot is a Discord API extension of SkeletonKey, bringing the same cryptography tools to Discord as if it was your own cryptography console! Check it out here.
