CB analyzing-network-traffic-for-incidents

Analyzes network traffic captures and flow data to identify adversary activity during security incidents, including command-and-control communications, lateral movement, data exfiltration, and exploitation attempts. Uses Wireshark, Zeek, and NetFlow analysis techniques. Activates for requests involving network traffic analysis, packet capture investigation, PCAP analysis, network forensics, C2 traffic detection, or exfiltration detection.

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
    • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

    Process rating: all ten parameters 65/100

    • 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
    • 30Running it twice. 3 mutating operations with no state check
    • 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
    • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web) that frontmatter does not declare
    • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
    • 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
    • 100Steps. 43 steps

    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2427 tokens
    • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress

    Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
