• PCAP-LM: Helping AI assistants read network traffic

  Network forensic analysts often struggle to feed massive capture files into large language models due to restrictive token context limits. Researchers addressed this constraint by condensing verbose traffic logs into a streamlined symbolic language called PacketGlyphs, stripping out heavy payload data while retaining critical flow patterns. This significant footprint reduction lets existing AI models review entire cellular capture sessions at once with high forensic accuracy.
