CTF Packet Analysis Expert
Budget: $2 – $8 USD
I’m competing in a Capture-the-Flag event that centers on network security, and I’m stalled on a packet-analysis challenge. I already have the .pcap files; I just need an expert who can load them into Wireshark, dissect the traffic, and lead me straight to the flag.
What I need from you:
• Open and analyze the provided captures exclusively in Wireshark.
• Extract and document the flag(s) or required answers.
• Supply a concise, step-by-step write-up explaining filters, protocols examined, and any reconstruction techniques so I can learn from your approach.
No firewall tuning or IDS configuration is involved—this task is purely packet analysis. You should be comfortable with TCP/IP fundamentals, stream reassembly, protocol carving, and the usual CTF tricks that hide data inside packets.
If you can deliver a clear report (Markdown or plain text) and any custom display filters or command snippets within 48 hours, I’d love to work with you. Briefly outline your plan when you apply so I know we’re aligned.
