competition-pcap-protocol

competition-pcap-protocol is a skill for Codex from xAmirHamza77/ReverseOps-Skill. It costs 117 tokens per session (689 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of competition-pcap-protocol, MIT.

A specialized workflow for analyzing packet captures in a controlled cybersecurity challenge environment. A packet capture, or PCAP, is a recorded collection of network traffic that can be rebuilt into conversations and transferred files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to rebuild TCP or UDP sessions, decode application protocols, inspect DNS, HTTP, WebSocket, or TLS activity, and link traffic to host or process behavior.
Why use it?
It reconstructs sessions before interpreting individual packets, preserving message order, timing, retransmissions, and protocol context.

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

competition-pcap-protocol 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 6d 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.

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.

2. Decode The Protocol Boundary

  • Reassemble TCP streams or UDP conversations before interpreting fields.
  • Recover framing, message order, custom headers, binary fields, compression, encryption boundaries, and object transfers.
  • Keep payload direction, timing, and session state aligned with each decoded message.

3. Tie Packets To Behavior

  • Show which packet sequence maps to which host event, malware branch, login flow, upload, exfiltration step, or command channel.
  • Distinguish protocol recognition from artifact recovery: naming HTTP, DNS, or a custom C2 is not enough without decoded content or proven downstream effect.
  • If the task becomes mostly a host timeline problem after decode, switch to the tighter forensic timeline skill.

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.
