When analyzing packet captures I often find myself asking small interpretation questions like:

• why is this TCP segment retransmitted?

• what exactly does this DNS response imply?

• is this behavior normal or suspicious?

Packet analyzers decode the fields well, but they don't really explain what's happening at a higher level.

So I started experimenting with the idea of using AI to generate explanations based on decoded packet fields.

The idea would be something like:

• take the parsed protocol fields

• ask questions about the packet

• get a human-readable explanation of what might be happening

I'm curious what people who regularly analyze PCAPs think about this idea.

Would something like this actually be useful, or would it create more confusion than help?

Feedbacks are welcome.
