Enterprise packet investigation · AI agent for PCAP analysis

From question to defensible RCA.

Give Agent a capture and the problem you need to explain. Its tool-driven packet investigation returns labelled preliminary direction, tests the conclusion independently, and keeps every material claim tied to bounded packet evidence.

Packet-grounded direction in minutes on qualified cases. Preliminary and verification outcomes remain separate milestones.

Capture accepted: from packet upload to a Preliminary Report and Final Report

The capture is accepted, the root-cause engine compares successful and failed TLS sessions, a clearly labelled Preliminary Report identifies immediate resets after ClientHello, and a Final Report verifies that sequence across 12 attempts while recording the reset source as an explicit open question and recommending the evidence-linked next action: inspect firewall, load-balancer, TLS-inspection, and service logs for the sanitized endpoint aliases and exact frame windows, identify the reset-generating device and rule, and attach that log event to the report.

Three evidence milestones, one investigation

Useful direction first. Targeted checks and capture-wide adjudication follow.

Speed and confidence are different product events. Agent preserves the Preliminary Report, Verification, and Final Report, so an early answer never hides what has—or has not—been tested.

  1. 01

    Capture accepted

    The capture is admitted and made safe to inspect.

  2. 02

    Preliminary evidence

    PacketSafari Core Engine surfaces the strongest current signals.

  3. 03

    Candidate RCA

    Agent forms an explanation that cites those signals.

  4. 04

    Independent verification

    A later pass adopts, rebuts, or leaves candidates inconclusive.

  5. 05

    Defensible report

    The report preserves the result, uncertainty, and exact pivots.

Compare Fast answer, Fast + verification, and Triage then report
Preliminary direction

Immediate TCP resets after ClientHello are the strongest supported cause—not packet loss.

A strong current explanation—not a relabelled final report.

Verified finding

Verified finding: 12 attempts show the same ClientHello-to-RST sequence. The reset source remains an explicit open attribution question.

Bounded evidence architecture

The model never has to swallow the capture.

From routine captures to multi-gigabyte investigations, PacketSafari sizes the processing and evidence workflow to the deployment rather than flattening the PCAP into an AI prompt.

Large-capture capacity is deployment-defined and validated against the customer’s real capture profile.

PacketSafari Core Engine

Decoded frames, fields, expert information, streams, and protocol statistics establish the facts.

Bounded packet access

Agent requests focused derived facts and packet pivots instead of treating the PCAP as model context.

Large-capture workflow

Durable intake, early capture readiness, deferred evidence work, cached artifacts, and memory controls keep work bounded.

Reviewable report

Findings preserve evidence, alternatives, uncertainty, and the next action another expert can inspect.

Private AI and deployment

Your packet boundary stays yours.

Connect PacketSafari to customer-operated AI endpoints while packet storage, identity, model routing, and egress remain under customer control.

Model compatibility, evidence quality, latency, and capacity are validated during deployment.
