Unlock a groundbreaking approach to packet analysis with "Talk with Your Packets," where cutting-edge AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) meet the world of .pcap and .pcapng files. This session explores how natural language, combined with artificial intelligence and a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline, can transform traditional packet analysis.
We’ll dive into how packets are converted into JSON representations via the CLI, chunked for efficient processing, embedded as vectors, and stored in ChromaDB for retrieval. Democratizing access to advanced packet analysis and making it easier for users to ask meaningful questions about their packet captures.
While this solution augments Wireshark by aiding in the filtering and crafting of high-value .pcaps (garbage in, garbage out), it does not replace Wireshark. Instead, it empowers analysts with a more intuitive and streamlined way to interpret packet data.
This will be a mix of slides and live demonstrations as well as Q&A and interactivity with the audience
