How does it help with network performance issues?

It identifies specific indicators of network degradation, such as TCP retransmissions, duplicate ACKs, and zero-window events, allowing for precise bottleneck identification.

Does this skill perform actual packet capture automatically?

This skill provides the comprehensive logic, commands, and filtering patterns for you to execute; Claude uses this knowledge to guide your analysis process based on the tools installed in your environment.

Can I use this skill for security forensics?

Yes, it includes specialized techniques for detecting reconnaissance activities like port scans, ARP spoofing, and identifying suspicious command-and-control (C2) traffic patterns.

Is it compatible with encrypted traffic like HTTPS?

The skill provides patterns for analyzing TLS/SSL traffic. While it explains how to use keys for decryption, it also provides methods for analyzing encrypted traffic via SNI and certificate metadata without full decryption.
