Analyzing PCAP files for C2 and exfiltration involves parsing packet captures and flow data to detect beaconing patterns and unauthorized data transfers. This Skill correlates Zeek and NetFlow logs to identify adversary activity and validate indicators of compromise.

Detecting lateral movement with Zeek and NetFlow requires correlating flow metadata to identify suspicious internal connection patterns. This Skill processes network captures to trace lateral movement and C2 beaconing, enforcing deterministic analysis steps for reliable incident detection.

Yes, Wireshark captures can be used for incident response and IOC extraction. This Skill processes PCAP files and flow data to reconstruct attacker traffic, validates captured evidence, and exports indicators of compromise for incident-ready reporting.

Yes, you need scapy installed as a dependency to investigate network forensics captures with this Skill. It uses scapy to support packet-level analysis when detecting command-and-control communications and data exfiltration patterns in traffic captures.

Network traffic analysis requires correlating host-based evidence with flow data to accurately validate adversary activity and avoid false positives. This Skill enforces validation of captured evidence by correlating traffic patterns with host artifacts to produce reliable incident reports.

Network forensics analysis for incident response is the process of examining network traffic captures to identify adversary activity like C2 and exfiltration. It uses deterministic analysis steps to parse PCAP and NetFlow data, exporting validated indicators of compromise.
