Abstract

An implementation may involve: providing, to an image diffusion model, a prompt that describes characteristics of network traffic; receiving, from the image diffusion model, an image representing the network traffic, wherein the image comprises a matrix of pixel values representing packets of the network traffic in a presence-based format; transforming the pixel values into a trace of the network traffic, wherein the trace encodes at least packet header values of the packets; applying, to the trace, protocol compliance rules that relate to the packet header values; and outputting the trace in a binary format.
