net-capture

net-capture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from batteryshark/rekit. It costs 69 tokens per session (383 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A live network-traffic recorder that runs a target and saves the packets it sends and receives in a PCAP file, a format used by network-analysis tools. It also lists contacted IP addresses and DNS lookups.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to observe a running program's network behavior, review its DNS requests and contacted IPs, and save traffic for deeper analysis.
Why use it?
It shows which servers a sample contacts, including possible command servers, data-exfiltration destinations, or download sites. Because it runs the target, use it only in an isolated network and with consent.

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 B, and why

net-capture scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/run.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Network Capture

⚡ Dynamic tier — runs the target and sniffs the wire. Run only where you don't mind the risk (ideally an isolated/sinkholed network).

When to use

You want to see what a sample talks to — C2, exfil, downloads. net-capture runs it while capturing the interface, then shows the IPs it reached and DNS it asked for, and leaves a pcap for deeper analysis.

What it does

Starts tcpdump on an interface, runs the target for a bounded duration, stops the capture, and summarizes: packet count, talkers (IPs), and DNS query lines. Writes the full capture.pcap. For safe detonation, run inside a VM with a sinkholed/proxied network and point --iface at it.

  • Dynamic: rekit run --allow-dynamic net-capture <target> (or --yes-i-consent / REKIT_ALLOW_DYNAMIC=1).
  • tcpdump on PATH; capturing usually needs root (sudo / capture caps). Absent or unprivileged → the runner reports the honest failure.

Usage

rekit run --allow-dynamic net-capture ./sample --iface eth0 --duration 20

Feed the recovered IPs/domains into ioc-extract.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

net-capture is a skill published in the GitHub repository batteryshark/rekit (20 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 383 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
