Packet-level network evidence for AKS: run a bounded, distributed packet capture across nodes (filtered by IP, port, or tcpdump/BPF expression), and collect Azure network resources (NSG rules, route tables, firewall, VNET peering) when you need pcap-level proof of where traffic drops. Escalation tool for when logs and read-only checks are inconclusive. WHEN: capture packets on a node, take a pcap, tcpdump on AKS, prove where a packet is dropped, verify an NSG or route is blocking traffic at…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# AKS Network Capture Capture packet-level evidence on AKS when read-only diagnostics are inconclusive. Use this to prove *where* a packet is dropped — inside the pod, on the node, at an NSG, on a route, or at the Azure load balancer. This is an escalation tool. For most networking symptoms (DNS, connectivity, ingress 502s), start with `aks-troubleshooting`; come here when you need a pcap or wire-level proof. ## Safety model Packet capture requires elevated node access, so these scripts are built to be safe by construction: - **No shell injection.** User-supplied filters and targets are validated against strict allowlists, passed to `tcpdump` as a single trailing argument (never a shell string), and compile-checked in-pod with `tcpdump -d`. There is no `eval`. A negative regression test (`evals/tests/aks-network-capture/injection.test.sh`) proves malicious inputs are rejected. - **Scoped access, not `privileged`.** Capture pods use only `NET_ADMIN` + `NET_RAW` with `hostNetwork`. They mount only `/var/log/aks-network-captures` from the node, never the node root, and never enable `hostPID`. …

How to install
mdr add azure/aks-skills/aks-network-capture@sha256:54766850a5e78c68The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
