Create an analysis job.

You can use this page to run Context By Signal℠ packet capture analyses. Read on to get started.

 

How it works

Your email address is required to run a job. When your job completes, we send notification to the email address you provide with links to your job output. To protect your privacy, job links are time-sensitive and subject to expiration.

You view your Observation Report in CBS Explorer. You can select and download additional output types. We provide report data in CSV and JSON formats. We'll add plain text reports in the coming weeks.

There is currently no charge to upload and analyze single files. The files you upload must meet the following requirements:

  • Processing is limited to files in Wireshark capture formats of PCAP or PCAPNG. PCAP-formatted files should have the .pcap filename extension. PCAPNG-formatted files should have the .pcapng filename extension.
  • Large files take more time to process. For CBS version 1.0, we enforce a maximum size of 200 MB on packet capture files. Files that exceed 200 MB will not be accepted for upload.

Bulk processing of capture files will soon be introduced. Inquire if you have an immediate need.
