# π¦ Wireshark MCP Advanced Tools Integration Complete
## β
Implementation Status
### **Completed Tasks**
1. **Research Phase** β
- Researched all 10 advanced tools implementation strategies
- Identified appropriate Wireshark command-line utilities
- Documented capabilities and limitations
2. **Design Phase** β
- Designed architecture for each tool
- Created async/await patterns for all tools
- Implemented error handling and result formatting
3. **Implementation Phase** β
- Created `advanced_tools_implementation.py` with all 10 tools:
- β
PCAP Time Slicer (using editcap)
- β
PCAP Splitter (using editcap)
- β
PCAP Merger (using mergecap)
- β
Hex-to-PCAP Converter (using text2pcap)
- β
HTTP Deep Analyzer (using tshark)
- β
DNS Query Analyzer (using tshark)
- β
SSL/TLS Inspector (using tshark)
- β
Latency Profiler (using tshark)
- β
Threat Detector (using tshark)
- β
Remote Capture (using SSH + tcpdump)
4. **Integration Phase** β
- Created `advanced_tools_integration.py` with:
- MCP tool definitions for all 10 tools
- Handler routing for each tool
- Parameter validation and processing
- Created `enhanced_server_v3.py` skeleton for integration
## π Files Created
### 1. `advanced_tools_implementation.py`
- Complete implementation of all 10 advanced tools
- Async classes with multiple methods per tool
- Comprehensive error handling
- Demo function for testing
### 2. `advanced_tools_integration.py`
- MCP tool definitions with proper schemas
- Handler function that routes to appropriate tool methods
- Parameter processing and validation
### 3. `enhanced_server_v3.py`
- Integration skeleton for MCP server
- Combines original 8 tools + 10 new advanced tools
- Total: 18 tools available
## π Next Steps
### Immediate Actions Needed:
1. **Complete Server Integration**
```bash
# Copy handler functions from enhanced_server.py to enhanced_server_v3.py
# Ensure all imports are correct
# Test the integrated server
```
2. **Test Each Tool**
```bash
# Run the demo function
python advanced_tools_implementation.py
# Test through MCP interface
python enhanced_server_v3.py
```
3. **Update MCP Configuration**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"wireshark-mcp": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["/path/to/enhanced_server_v3.py"]
}
}
}
```
## π― Tool Capabilities Summary
### PCAP Manipulation (Tools 1-4)
- **Time Slicer**: Extract specific time windows
- **Splitter**: Split by packets, time, or size
- **Merger**: Combine multiple captures chronologically
- **Hex Converter**: Convert hex dumps to PCAP
### Protocol Analysis (Tools 5-7)
- **HTTP Analyzer**: Deep HTTP/HTTPS analysis
- **DNS Analyzer**: Query analysis and tunneling detection
- **SSL Inspector**: Certificate and handshake analysis
### Advanced Analysis (Tools 8-10)
- **Latency Profiler**: Network performance metrics
- **Threat Detector**: Port scans, DDoS, anomalies
- **Remote Capture**: SSH-based distributed capture
## π Usage Examples
### Example 1: Extract Time Window
```python
result = await wireshark_pcap_time_slice(
input_file="/path/to/capture.pcap",
start_time="2025-01-08T10:00:00",
end_time="2025-01-08T11:00:00"
)
```
### Example 2: Detect DNS Tunneling
```python
result = await wireshark_dns_analyze(
input_file="/path/to/capture.pcap",
analysis_type="tunneling",
entropy_threshold=3.5
)
```
### Example 3: Remote Multi-Host Capture
```python
result = await wireshark_remote_capture(
capture_mode="multi",
hosts=[
{"host": "server1.com", "username": "admin"},
{"host": "server2.com", "username": "admin"}
],
synchronized=True
)
```
