analyze_dhcp_packets
Analyze DHCP packets from a PCAP file and return comprehensive analysis results. FILE UPLOAD LIMITATION: This MCP tool cannot process files uploaded through Claude's web interface. Files must be accessible via URL or local file path. SUPPORTED INPUT FORMATS: - Remote files: "https://example.com/capture.pcap" - Local files: "/absolute/path/to/capture.pcap" UNSUPPORTED: - Files uploaded through Claude's file upload feature - Base64 file content - Relative file paths Args: pcap_file: HTTP URL or absolute local file path to PCAP file Returns: A structured dictionary containing DHCP packet analysis results
writetrueunknown
analyze_dns_packets
Analyze DNS packets from a PCAP file and return comprehensive analysis results. FILE UPLOAD LIMITATION: This MCP tool cannot process files uploaded through Claude's web interface. Files must be accessible via URL or local file path. SUPPORTED INPUT FORMATS: - Remote files: "https://example.com/capture.pcap" - Local files: "/absolute/path/to/capture.pcap" UNSUPPORTED: - Files uploaded through Claude's file upload feature - Base64 file content - Relative file paths Args: pcap_file: HTTP URL or absolute local file path to PCAP file Returns: A structured dictionary containing DNS packet analysis results
writetrueunknown
analyze_tcp_retransmissions
Analyze TCP retransmission patterns. Args: pcap_file: HTTP URL or absolute local file path to PCAP file server_ip: Optional filter for server IP address threshold: Retransmission rate threshold (default: 2%) Returns: A structured dictionary containing: - total_retransmissions: Total number of retransmissions - retransmission_rate: Overall retransmission rate - by_connection: Per-connection retransmission statistics - summary: Worst connections and threshold violations

analyze_icmp_packets
Analyze ICMP packets from a PCAP file and return comprehensive analysis results. FILE UPLOAD LIMITATION: This MCP tool cannot process files uploaded through Claude's web interface. Files must be accessible via URL or local file path. SUPPORTED INPUT FORMATS: - Remote files: "https://example.com/capture.pcap" - Local files: "/absolute/path/to/capture.pcap" UNSUPPORTED: - Files uploaded through Claude's file upload feature - Base64 file content - Relative file paths Args: pcap_file: HTTP URL or absolute local file path to PCAP file Returns: A structured dictionary containing ICMP packet analysis results
writetrueunknown
analyze_capinfos
Return metadata from a PCAP file, similar to Wireshark's capinfos utility. IMPORTANT: This tool expects a FILE PATH or URL, not file content. - For local files: "/path/to/capture.pcap" - For remote files: "https://example.com/capture.pcap" - File uploads are NOT supported - save the file locally first Args: pcap_file: Path to local PCAP file or HTTP URL to remote PCAP file (NOT file content - must be a path or URL) Returns: A structured dictionary containing PCAP metadata including: - File information (size, name, encapsulation type) - Packet statistics (count, data size, average sizes) - Temporal data (duration, timestamps, rates)
readfalseunknown
analyze_traffic_flow
Analyze bidirectional traffic flow characteristics. Identifies traffic direction, asymmetry, RST sources, and data transfer patterns. Args: pcap_file: HTTP URL or absolute local file path to PCAP file server_ip: Server IP address (required) server_port: Optional filter for server port Returns: A structured dictionary containing: - client_to_server: Client-to-server traffic statistics - server_to_client: Server-to-client traffic statistics - analysis: Asymmetry analysis and interpretations
writetrueunknown
analyze_tcp_connections
Analyze TCP connection states and lifecycle. This is the core tool for TCP connection analysis, solving 80% of TCP-related issues. FILE UPLOAD LIMITATION: This MCP tool cannot process files uploaded through Claude's web interface. Files must be accessible via URL or local file path. SUPPORTED INPUT FORMATS: - Remote files: "https://example.com/capture.pcap" - Local files: "/absolute/path/to/capture.pcap" UNSUPPORTED: - Files uploaded through Claude's file upload feature - Base64 file content - Relative file paths Args: pcap_file: HTTP URL or absolute local file path to PCAP file server_ip: Optional filter for server IP address server_port: Optional filter for server port detailed: Whether to return detailed connection information Returns: A structured dictionary containing TCP connection analysis results including: - summary: Overall connection statistics - connections: List of individual connections with states - issues: Detected problems
writetrueunknown
analyze_sip_packets
Analyze SIP packets from a PCAP file and return structured signaling details. FILE UPLOAD LIMITATION: This MCP tool cannot process files uploaded through Claude's web interface. Files must be accessible via URL or local file path. SUPPORTED INPUT FORMATS: - Remote files: "https://example.com/capture.pcap" - Local files: "/absolute/path/to/capture.pcap" UNSUPPORTED: - Files uploaded through Claude's file upload feature - Base64 file content - Relative file paths Args: pcap_file: HTTP URL or absolute local file path to PCAP file Returns: A structured dictionary containing SIP packet analysis results
writetrueunknown
analyze_tcp_anomalies
Detect TCP traffic patterns through statistical analysis. This tool analyzes TCP traffic to identify observable patterns without making assumptions about root causes. It provides factual metrics and pattern detection that can be used for further investigation. Args: pcap_file: HTTP URL or absolute local file path to PCAP file server_ip: Optional filter for server IP address server_port: Optional filter for server port Returns: A structured dictionary containing: - statistics: Comprehensive TCP metrics (handshakes, flags, RST distribution, etc.) - patterns: Observable patterns detected in the traffic - summary: High-level summary of findings Detected pattern categories: - connection_establishment: Handshake success/failure rates, SYN response ratios - connection_termination: RST distribution, normal vs abnormal closes - reliability: Retransmission rates, packet loss indicators - connection_lifecycle: Connection state transitions The analysis is purely observational - it reports what is seen in the traffic without attempting to diagnose specific issues like "firewall block" or "network congestion". This allows the data to be interpreted in context.
