Wireshark-MCP: Command for GitHub Copilot

.github/prompts/wireshark-traffic-analysis.prompt.md

wireshark-traffic-analysis is a command for GitHub Copilot from bx33661/Wireshark-MCP. It costs 0 tokens per session (303 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for examining a packet capture, a recorded stream of network traffic, with Wireshark. It investigates a stated goal such as troubleshooting, security review, or incident response using filters and collected evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyse pcap or pcapng files, count traffic, inspect hosts and protocols, identify relevant frames or streams, and report evidence with confidence levels.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when diagnosing network problems or investigating suspicious traffic. It also distinguishes confirmed findings from likely, possible, or unresolved ones.

Command for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot chat mode or prompt.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

wireshark-traffic-analysis scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Use the wireshark-traffic-analysis project skill in this repository to investigate a packet capture with a professional, evidence-backed workflow.

Inputs:

  • Capture path: ${input:capture_path:Path to the pcap or pcapng file}
  • Goal: ${input:goal:triage | security | incident-response | troubleshoot}
  • Optional scope: ${input:scope:Suspicious host, protocol, time window, domain, stream, or symptom}

Requirements:

  • Start with the supplied question; use broad triage only for unfamiliar captures.
  • Use the project skill playbook that matches the goal.
  • Use wireshark_aggregate for full-capture totals, grouped distributions, distinct counts, top-k, or time buckets.
  • Include exact filters, streams, frames, or extracted fields for every important finding.
  • Label confidence as confirmed, likely, candidate, or unresolved.
  • Check result coverage and errors before interpreting counts or absence.
  • Stop when the question is answered; propose a next step only for an unresolved gap.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
