PCAP Analysis Methodology Guide

For Network Security Analysts

Introduction

This guide outlines a systematic approach to analyzing packet captures (PCAPs) for security investigation. As analysts, our goal is to identify potential security incidents, understand attack patterns, and determine the scope and impact of suspicious network activity.

Initial Triage Questions

Before diving into analysis, address these key questions:

  • What is the time range of the capture?
  • What prompted this PCAP analysis (alert, incident, routine monitoring)?

This is a living document. Everything in this document is made in good faith of being accurate, but like I just said; we don't yet know everything about what's going on.

Update: I've disabled comments as of 2025-01-26 to avoid everyone having notifications for something a year on if someone wants to suggest a correction. Folks are free to email to suggest corrections still, of course.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly.
Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground.
The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Ooh, black and yellow!
Let's shake it up a little.
Barry! Breakfast is ready!
Coming!
Hang on a second.
