Agent skill

implementing-network-traffic-analysis-with-arkime

Deploy and query Arkime (formerly Moloch) for full packet capture network traffic analysis. Uses the Arkime API v3 to search sessions, download PCAPs, analyze connection patterns, detect beaconing behavior, and identify suspicious network flows. Monitors DNS queries, HTTP traffic, and TLS certificate anomalies across captured traffic.

Implementing Network Traffic Analysis with Arkime

When to Use

  • When deploying or configuring implementing network traffic analysis with arkime capabilities in your environment
  • When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
  • When building or improving security architecture for this domain
  • When conducting security assessments that require this implementation

Prerequisites

  • Familiarity with network security concepts and tools
  • Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution
  • Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed
  • Appropriate authorization for any testing activities

Instructions

  1. Install dependencies: pip install requests
  2. Configure Arkime viewer URL and credentials.
  3. Run the agent to query Arkime sessions and analyze traffic:
    • Search sessions by IP, port, protocol, or expression
    • Download PCAP data for forensic analysis
    • Detect C2 beaconing via connection interval analysis
    • Identify DNS tunneling through query length statistics
    • Flag connections to known-bad TLS certificate issuers
bash
python scripts/agent.py --arkime-url https://arkime.local:8005 --user admin --password secret --output arkime_report.json

mapping-mitre-attack-techniques

Maps observed adversary behaviors, security alerts, and detection rules to MITRE ATT&CK techniques and sub-techniques to quantify detection coverage and guide control prioritization. Use when building an ATT&CK-based coverage heatmap, tagging SIEM alerts with technique IDs, aligning security controls to adversary playbooks, or reporting threat exposure to executives. Activates for requests involving ATT&CK Navigator, Sigma rules, MITRE D3FEND, or coverage gap analysis.
