Network traffic baselining establishes normal communication patterns by analyzing historical NetFlow/IPFIX data to create statistical profiles of expected behavior. This skill uses Python pandas to compute hourly and daily traffic distributions, per-host byte/packet counts, protocol ratios, and top-N talker profiles. Anomalies are detected using z-score thresholds and IQR (interquartile range) outlier methods, enabling SOC analysts to identify deviations such as data exfiltration spikes, beaconing patterns, and unusual port usage.
JSON report containing traffic baselines (hourly/daily profiles), per-host statistics, detected anomalies with z-scores, and top talker rankings with deviation indicators.

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionimplementing-network-traffic-baseliningExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
epx add mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills/implementing-network-traffic-baseliningFetches implementing-network-traffic-baselining from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
.cursor/skills/implementing-network-traffic-baselining
Restart Cursor to activate implementing-network-traffic-baselining. Access via /implementing-network-traffic-baseliningin your agent's command palette.
