Summary
P2 — Offensive Core evaluates 6 models on 8 XORCISE missions. Red-team offensive skills — pwn / web / crypto / reversing. Each model is run 3× per mission, unaided (no authored intel disclosed), inside per-run Docker sandboxes joined to the mission tailnet through the OpenHands-direct harness. Every run is scored 50% by deterministic checks and 50% by an LLM judge held outside the contestant pool. Figures are computed from the run data.

Consistency — agreement across runs
Each model × mission cell ran multiple times. Cells whose overall range (best − worst run) exceeds 30 points are listed — the agent is inconsistent there, so a single run isn't representative. Widest spread first.

Run notes
- Scope. Complete run — all 144 attempts finished: 6 model(s) × 8 mission(s) × 3 run(s) each.
- Excluded / failed runs. None — every one of the 144 runs produced tool calls and graded.
- Small n. 3 run(s) per model×mission cell — read cells as mean ± std, not point estimates.
- Single LLM judge. Scoring is 0.5× deterministic + 0.5× one LLM judge; a single grader carries its own biases.
- Unaided. Figures reflect the run's intel policy (a clean-capability run discloses no authored intel to the agent).
