Archive extraction ambiguity

Preflights an archive manifest before extraction by modeling the destination as a virtual namespace.

Read the full description

Use it for every uploaded or third-party release archive before extraction, and again when extraction policy changes. Four independent probes detect traversal and platform aliases, order-sensitive symlink or hardlink write-through, case/Unicode/file-directory collisions, and entry-count/size/ratio expansion hazards; symlink targets are parent-relative while hardlink targets use an explicit coordinate mode that defaults to archive-root-relative. A synthesis step joins them into one severity-prioritized extraction decision. It reads a JSON manifest and never extracts, writes, follows links, or accesses the network. Run with input=path/to/manifest.json, or omit input to use the bundled adversarial demo. Limits: findings depend on the supplied manifest and policy, nested archive contents are not recursively inspected, and filesystem-specific canonicalization is approximated conservatively.

rote asks for these before running and shows the defaults it will use.

What it changes

No write operations are declared in this version's manifest.

Credentials remain in the recipient's local rote vault; this page and the publisher never receive them.

Credential values and current readiness remain local. Opening this page never prompts for a credential, opens an authorization browser, or calls a service this play uses.

A play is a published, versioned automation package that runs on your own machine through rote, a free command-line tool. Opening this page installs nothing and runs nothing.
