re-proto-rev

re-proto-rev is a skill for Claude Code from dslsdzc/rev-skills. It costs 38 tokens per session (4,412 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for reconstructing an unknown network protocol from readable packet captures. It explains how to infer message fields and the order of exchanges, such as a handshake, periodic heartbeat, and session end.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect pcap files, group messages by size and direction, identify headers and length fields, infer checksums and types, and build Scapy parsers and state-machine models.
Why use it?
It helps make private or undocumented communication understandable and prevents treating encrypted or undecoded data as if it had a meaningful structure.

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

re-proto-rev 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 9d 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.

协议状态机重建

何时使用 / 何时不用

  • 用:手上有明文流量(pcap 或实时流)需要搞清"消息长什么样、双方怎么对话"
  • 用:自定义协议 / 私有协议 / 未知协议的字段结构推断
  • 用:C2 协议、固件通信协议的交互模式推演(握手/心跳/结束)
  • 不用:流量是密文(先 [[re-crypto-id]] → [[re-crypto-keys]] → [[re-crypto-decrypt]],解出明文再回来)
  • 不用:标准协议(HTTP/TLS/DNS)——直接 Wireshark 解码器(见 [[re-netcap]] 步骤 3)
  • 不用:只需要抓流量(那是 [[re-netcap]])

工具准备

所有工具先验证再使用。本技能只处理数据与解析脚本,不运行样本,可免沙箱([[platform-tips]] 最高原则);抓流量环节在 [[re-netcap]] 内进行。

python3 —— 解析脚本运行环境

  • Linux: apt install python3 python3-pip / dnf install python3 python3-pip / pacman -S python python-pip(多数自带)
  • macOS: brew install python(或 Xcode CLT 自带)
  • Windows: python.org 安装包(勾选 Add to PATH);WSL 内 Linux 版
  • 验证: python3 --version

scapy —— pcap 解析与协议构造主力

  • 全平台: pip install scapy(Python 3,推荐)
  • Linux: 部分发行版有包(apt install python3-scapy
  • 验证: python3 -c "import scapy; print(scapy.__version__)"
  • 读 pcap 文件: rdpcap 即可,纯 Python 解析(无需 libpcap;libpcap 仅实时抓包 sniff() 时需要,强制纯 Python 解析用 conf.use_pcap = False
  • 验证(跨平台,写临时 pcap 再读回,不依赖 /dev/null): python3 -c "import tempfile,os; from scapy.all import rdpcap, wrpcap, IP, TCP, Raw; f=os.path.join(tempfile.gettempdir(),'t.pcap'); wrpcap(f,[IP()/TCP()/Raw(b'test')]); print(len(rdpcap(f)))" —— 输出 1 即正常

tshark —— 分组统计与字段初探(安装见 [[re-netcap]])

  • tshark -r out.pcap -q -z conv,tcp 会话统计、-z io,stat,1 时间序列——步骤 1 聚类用
  • 验证: tshark --version

binwalk —— 已知格式线索(pcap 里嵌 blob 时找格式)

  • 安装与验证见 [[re-fw-extract]] 工具准备
  • 用途: 解析出的字段里疑似嵌了文件/镜像(gzip/zip/PNG 等)时,用 binwalk blob.bin 确认格式

操作步骤

按顺序执行,每步记下结果。前提:流量必须是明文(密文先走 [[re-crypto-decrypt]])。

  1. 分组统计与聚类(长度/方向/时序)
    tshark -r out.pcap -T fields -e tcp.len -e ip.src -e ip.dst | awk '{print $1}' | sort -n | uniq -c   # 长度分布
    tshark -r out.pcap -q -z conv,tcp          # 会话列表:谁和谁、包数、字节数
    tshark -r out.pcap -q -z io,stat,1         # 每秒流量:找规律性心跳
    
    • 聚类目标:按方向(A→B / B→A)分组看长度分布;长度呈少量固定值 → 固定长度消息(可能无长度字段);长度连续变化 → 变长消息(通常需要某种 framing,候选:内嵌长度字段、分隔符、固定语法、chunk 分块、连接关闭)
    • 找规律性间隔包(每 30s 一个固定长度小包)→ 心跳消息(见坑 3)

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.

re-proto-rev is a skill published in the GitHub repository dslsdzc/rev-skills (54 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 4,412 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
