description

Internal downstream skill for ctf-sandbox-orchestrator. CTF-sandbox workflow for packet capture analysis, session reconstruction, application-protocol decoding, stream reassembly, beacon timing, and packet-to-process correlation. Use when the user asks to analyze a PCAP, rebuild TCP or UDP sessions, decode HTTP, WebSocket, DNS, custom C2, or binary protocols, extract transferred artifacts, or tie packet sequences to host or malware behavior. Use only after `$ctf-sandbox-orchestrator` has already established sandbox assumptions and routed here.

Competition PCAP Protocol

Use this skill only as a downstream specialization after $ctf-sandbox-orchestrator is already active and has established sandbox assumptions, node ownership, and evidence priorities. If that has not happened yet, return to $ctf-sandbox-orchestrator first.

Use this skill when the decisive evidence sits inside packet order, protocol framing, or stream reconstruction rather than a single IOC or host log.

Reply in Simplified Chinese unless the user explicitly requests English.

Quick Start

1. Establish the capture boundaries first: hosts, time span, interfaces, missing packets, retransmits, and stream count.
2. Group traffic into sessions before decoding payload semantics.
3. Record protocol framing, sequence, timing, and transferred artifacts together instead of as isolated packets.
4. Correlate packet evidence with host, malware, or app behavior only after the session is reconstructed.
5. Reproduce the smallest decoded stream or transferred artifact that proves the challenge path.

Workflow

1. Build The Session Map

• Identify endpoints, protocols, ports, TLS handshakes, DNS lookups, websocket upgrades, and long-lived streams.
• Note missing capture coverage, asymmetric routing, packet loss, or reassembly issues before drawing conclusions.
• Separate control channels, bulk transfers, keepalives, and noise.
