Excellent protocol reverse engineering skill with comprehensive coverage of traffic capture, analysis, and documentation. Provides practical tools (Wireshark, tshark, tcpdump, Scapy, Boofuzz), concrete code examples for binary protocol parsing, encryption analysis, custom Wireshark dissectors, and fuzzing. The description clearly conveys when to use this skill. Structure is logical with clear sections for different analysis phases. Strong novelty value—protocol RE requires domain expertise, specialized tooling knowledge, and multi-step analysis that would consume significant tokens if done from scratch by a CLI agent. Minor areas for improvement: could separate complex Lua/Python examples into referenced files for even cleaner organization, and could add more guidance on specific protocol families (IoT, industrial, gaming). Overall, this is a highly valuable skill that consolidates expert-level protocol analysis techniques into an immediately actionable resource.
