refactor: rename to firewall-escape.md, add 80% novelty requirement, and increase timeout #4789

@copilot revert all the changes, you should just tell the agent to explore https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-firewall and understand the details of the awf and then try to break from it. |
Reverted all changes and simplified the prompt. The agent is now instructed to explore https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-firewall first, understand the AWF architecture by reading the source files, then devise and execute escape strategies based on their findings. (cef18fd) |

@copilpt rename to "firewall-escape". The "test-*" workflows are typically stored under pkg/cli/workflows and this one should stay in this folder
|
@copilot slightly modify the prompt to try new strategies 80% of the attempts |
Added the 80% novelty requirement to Step 3. The agent is now instructed to check cache-memory for previously attempted strategies and prioritize new, untested attack vectors. (d21f25a)

@copilot increase the timeoout to 30 mins for this workflow |
…owledge Apply advanced prompt engineering techniques to guide the security testing agent: - Provide detailed AWF architecture overview (Squid, iptables, Docker wrapper) - Document network topology with ASCII diagram - Explain key implementation details and their attack surfaces - Include 13+ specific attack vectors with bash commands - Add Phase 1 reconnaissance, Phase 2 systematic exploitation - Reference actual code paths and configuration files - Include creative thinking section for out-of-box approaches - Extended timeout from 15 to 30 minutes for thorough testing Co-authored-by: Mossaka <5447827+Mossaka@users.noreply.github.com>
- Replace hardcoded IP (93.184.216.34) with dynamic resolution using dig - Use actual allowed domain 'github.com' instead of 'allowed-domain.com' - Add clarifying comments for URL encoding tests (%2E is URL-encoded ".") Co-authored-by: Mossaka <5447827+Mossaka@users.noreply.github.com>
Reverted the detailed architecture documentation and instead instructed the agent to: 1. Explore https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-firewall 2. Read key source files to understand the firewall architecture 3. Devise escape strategies based on their understanding 4. Execute attacks methodically and document results Co-authored-by: Mossaka <5447827+Mossaka@users.noreply.github.com>
…novelty requirement - Renamed workflow from test-firewall-escape.md to firewall-escape.md - Updated workflow name and description - Added instruction for agent to prioritize new strategies (80% novel attempts) - Agent now uses cache-memory to track and avoid repeating previous attempts Co-authored-by: Mossaka <5447827+Mossaka@users.noreply.github.com>

The security testing agent was struggling to find firewall escape paths. Updated the prompt to direct the agent to explore the AWF implementation directly rather than providing pre-documented architecture details.
Changes
test-firewall-escape.mdtofirewall-escape.mdsrc/cli.ts,src/host-iptables.ts,src/squid-config.ts,containers/copilot/*.sh, etc.)This approach allows the agent to discover implementation details on their own, think creatively about vulnerabilities, and continuously explore new attack vectors rather than re-running the same tests.
