protocol-reverse-engineering

What problem does it solve?

Traffic analysis and protocol reverse engineering can be time-consuming and error-prone when packets are opaque, proprietary, or poorly documented. This Skill provides a structured methodology to capture, dissect, and document protocols to accelerate understanding, debugging, and interoperability.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Traffic capture, dissection, and export of protocol details
• Protocol identification using signatures and common patterns
• Documentation generation: specs, state machines, and example exchanges
• TLS/SSL inspection and debugging workflows for secure protocols
• Reproducible testing templates (fuzzing, replay, and validation)

Quick Start

Start by capturing network traffic on a chosen interface and apply the built-in analysis steps to identify protocols and draft a formal specification.
