What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you analyze network captures to quickly identify protocols, conversations, and potential data exfiltration, reducing manual packet inspection time.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Protocol overview: Gain high-level visibility of captured traffic (e.g., HTTP, DNS, FTP) to prioritize investigation.
• Conversation tracing: Follow TCP streams and inspect relevant conversations to locate credentials or flags.
• Traffic forensics: Detect suspicious patterns, exfiltration, or unusual flows in large PCAPs.

Quick Start

To start, run your PCAP through basic inspection and then search for obvious flag indicators, e.g.:

• tshark -r capture.pcap -z io,phs
• strings capture.pcap | grep -i flag
