2024-11-26: AdversaryGraph live-instance PCAP report

Actual deployment: [local-workspace], HTTP [local-instance]. This is a regression validation, not an independent blind trial. No malware was executed and no malicious endpoint was contacted.

Executive assessment

Decoded 26922 packets across 61 IP endpoints and 276 transport flows. Observed 343 DNS events, 74 HTTP requests, 109 TLS ClientHello events, and 11 exported HTTP object(s). Deterministic rules produced 12 finding(s): 2 high, 2 medium, and 8 low. Findings are evidence-bound candidates and require analyst review; encrypted payload contents remain unavailable.

These findings identify observations and review priorities, not a proven malware family, actor, or causal infection chain. Source-frame evidence takes precedence over exercise answer typos.

Capture and execution evidence

Capture window: 2024-11-26T04:49:38.458138+00:00 to 2024-11-26T05:43:58.109487+00:00 UTC. Capture SHA-256: a38267943a7bf3b0e445d7e51cb0a68b3dee797d67081bc9a033f73d079c0f50. Analysis ID: 08324647-35af-4af2-8d82-4387eec03918; review session: 426471ed-5e63-4b7e-ac6c-d36e060a4739. First real HTTP upload/analysis: 9.812 seconds. Fresh uncached decoder repeat: 13.871 seconds. Prior isolated upload: 10.383 seconds. The fresh repeat ran while builds/tests were active; these timings are not a controlled performance comparison. Native packet analysis used zero LLM calls and zero LLM tokens. Coding-agent token usage was not instrumented.

Packet result equals prior isolated result: True; fresh repeat exact: True; retained capture checksum valid: True; API retrieval identical: True; idempotent upload: True.

Deterministic findings

MEDIUM — Cleartext HTTP observed on TCP/443

The decoded application protocol is HTTP despite use of the conventional TLS port.

Rule: http-on-tls-port@pcap-rules-v3; confidence: 0.98; evidence: frame 20340 / TCP stream 77, frame 20342 / TCP stream 77, frame 20348 / TCP stream 77, frame 20350 / TCP stream 77, frame 20572 / TCP stream 77.

HIGH — Periodic HTTP callback pattern

Repeated requests have a stable cadence consistent with automated callback or beacon behavior.

Rule: periodic-http-callbacks@pcap-rules-v3; confidence: 0.88; evidence: frame 20340 / TCP stream 77, frame 20342 / TCP stream 77, frame 20348 / TCP stream 77, frame 20350 / TCP stream 77, frame 20572 / TCP stream 77.

HIGH — Remote-access software network signature

An HTTP User-Agent explicitly identifies remote-access software. Validate authorization and endpoint ownership.

Rule: remote-access-user-agent@pcap-rules-v3; confidence: 0.95; evidence: frame 20340 / TCP stream 77, frame 20342 / TCP stream 77, frame 20348 / TCP stream 77, frame 20350 / TCP stream 77, frame 20572 / TCP stream 77.

Metrics: {"destination":"194.180.191.64","request_count":58,"source":"10.11.26.183","user_agent":"NetSupport Manager/1.3"}

MEDIUM — Repeated outbound HTTP POST activity

The same endpoint pair and HTTP target produced repeated POST requests suitable for beaconing or data transfer review.

Rule: repeated-http-posts@pcap-rules-v3; confidence: 0.72; evidence: frame 20340 / TCP stream 77, frame 20342 / TCP stream 77, frame 20348 / TCP stream 77, frame 20350 / TCP stream 77, frame 20572 / TCP stream 77.

LOW — Repeated unsuccessful DNS resolution

Repeated NXDOMAIN responses may indicate a dead domain, misconfiguration, retrying software, or malicious fallback. They do not establish a domain-generation algorithm.

Metrics: {"domain":"wpad.nemotoads.health","response_count":24,"source":"10.11.26.183"}

LOW — Directory-service protocol activity

Directory protocol operations were decoded. Normal Windows logon uses these protocols; activity alone does not establish discovery, credential theft, or DCSync.

Actor similarity leads

Local enrichment and correlations

No match means unknown in this corpus. Local CTI may postdate the capture. Matches and shared infrastructure require review; no automatic promotion or attribution. Snapshot: 82f0a542eadbd91c1d0554cf45b8bd4f69607e372cf96649bcd6ec9cab5fafb8; recorded 2026-09-19T12:08:41.573203+00:00; mode: local-only.

Coverage and limitations

Live enrichment and correlation validation

The actual IOC library contained 156,125 records. Exact typed matches: 0; source actor assertions: 0. Independent SQL agrees: IOC=True, actors=True. A miss is unknown in this corpus, not evidence of benignness. The earlier isolated corpus included publisher-reference records; its positive matches were not live-provider detections and are not comparable to natural coverage here. ATT&CK catalog candidates: 2; current-version catalog checks passed: True. Detection-strategy joins were checked independently. Cross-case links: 6; independently verified: True. These are shared observations, predominantly common service infrastructure, not common-campaign assertions.

Approved external passive enrichment

Completed 5/5 planned case indicators. Shared indicators reuse one saved lookup rather than consume provider quota repeatedly.

These lookups used the actual local application and were explicitly authorized. No PCAP or payload was uploaded, no private address was disclosed, no target was scanned, and no AI provider was invoked. Tier-two/three pivots query the local corpus only.

Provider intelligence was retrieved after the captures: current reputation, hosting and service observations do not establish historical causality. not_found means absent from that provider, not benign. Family labels and ATT&CK/actor leads remain source assertions awaiting review.

Historical coverage caveat: ThreatFox documents a six-month IOC expiration policy for its API since May 2025. That can limit these older exercises; it does not prove why any particular lookup missed. ThreatFox API policy.

No actor lead returned. This does not establish absence of an actor.

The live case contains 5 explicitly linked, exact-type/value PCAP observables. 3 retain frame references; remaining exported-object hashes retain native object IDs and capture-export provenance, not an exact packet-frame map. Every link retains the capture checksum, points to a saved provider investigation, and was reread from the real API. Case actor associations remain empty. Verified graph links.

Current ATT&CK catalog and detection-strategy joins

These are read-only joins against the actual database, not generated detections or proof that the victim executed the technique. A valid catalog join cannot validate the original provider assertion.

Comparison with publisher answers and earlier runs

The following comparison is separate from native inference. It measures availability of selected facts, not 100% incident-diagnosis accuracy.

Publisher answer.

Native NetSupport User-Agent, cleartext port 443 and periodic callbacks support the tool identification. The delivery-chain explanation and malicious authorization context require the publisher or endpoint evidence. Shared site visits alone do not prove causation.

Client Field Packet-verified expected value Live

Declared IOC subset available: 3/3. Not exhaustive recall.

Browser history/open, Markdown export and investigation transfer: True. Investigation ID: 19851c85-b03b-4655-bc64-64c6f1520100. Investigation transfers preserve a bounded preview, total count, source-analysis URL and hashes. Complete evidence remains server-side. TTP-overlap leads are not inserted into actor associations. PDF export: HTTP 200, including an explicitly non-authoritative packet-evidence appendix. STIX export remains HTTP 409 until a human completes review/promotion; this is a successful safety check.

Follow-up priorities

Validate high/medium findings using frame/stream evidence; obtain process and endpoint telemetry for execution, persistence and credential-theft hypotheses. Provider data above is current-time external context, not historical execution evidence. Review shared-CDN matches for specificity. Do not execute exported objects or treat encrypted payload metadata as decrypted evidence.
