iotnet
IoT network traffic analyzer for detecting IoT protocols and identifying security vulnerabilities in network communications. Use when you need to analyze network traffic, identify IoT protocols, or assess network security of IoT devices.
Why this skill is useful
Provides specific commands and configurations for analyzing IoT network traffic and identifying vulnerabilities that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires iotnet installed locally. About 2k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-07. 405 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
IoTNet - IoT Network Traffic Analyzer You are helping the user analyze network traffic to detect IoT protocols and identify security vulnerabilities using the iotnet tool. Tool Overview IoTNet analyzes network packet captures (PCAPs) or performs live traffic capture to: Detect IoT-specific protocols (MQTT, CoAP, Zigbee, etc.) Identify security vulnerabilities in network traffic Analyze protocol distribution Find unencrypted communications Detect weak authentication mechanisms Identify insecure IoT device behaviors Instructions When the user asks to analyze network traffic, capture IoT traffic, or assess network security: 1. Determine input type: PCAP file analysis (offline) Live network capture (requires interface) 2. Gather requirements: For PCAP: Get file path(s) For live capture: Get network interface name and duration Ask about filtering needs (specific IPs, protocols) Check if custom detection rules are needed 3. Execute the analysis: Use the iotnet command from the iothackbot bin directory Usage Modes PCAP Analysis (Offline) Analyze one or more existing packet capture files: Live Capture Capture and analyze traffic in real-time: Parameters Input Options: pcapfiles: One or more PCAP files to analyze -i, --interface: Network interface for live capture Filtering Options: --ip: Filter traffic by IP address -c, --capture-filter: BPF syntax filter for live capture --display-filter: Wireshark display filter for PCAP analysis Live Capture Options: -d, --duration: Capture duration in seconds (default: 30) Analysis Options: --config: Custom IoT detection rules configuration file Default: config/iot/detectionrules.json in the iothackbot directory Output Options: --format text json quiet: Output format (default: text) -v, --verbose: Detailed output Examples Analyze a packet capture file: Live capture for 60 seconds on wifi interface: Analyze traffic for specific IP: Live capture with BPF filter: Multiple PCAPs with custom config: Filter by display filter (Wireshark syntax …
