Performing Network Packet Capture Analysis

The skill analyzes PCAP and PCAPNG files with Wireshark, tshark, and tcpdump to reconstruct network communications, extract transferred files, and identify malicious traffic. It establishes evidence of data exfiltration, command-and-control activity, lateral movement, malware delivery, or unauthorized access. Incident responders, forensic investigators, and security analysts use it to validate and document network-based attacks.
