To detect an incoming "git clone" request in network packets, you can use a network packet analyzer tool such as Wireshark. Follow these steps:

  1. Download and install Wireshark on your computer.
  2. Open Wireshark and start capturing network traffic on the relevant network interface.
  3. Filter the captured packets to only show HTTP traffic by entering "http" in the filter field.
  4. Look for packets that contain the keyword "git clone" in the payload of the HTTP request. You can do this by selecting a packet and viewing its detailed information in the packet content pane.
  5. Filter further by the source and destination IP addresses to focus on the specific network traffic you are interested in.
  6. You can also use display filters in Wireshark to refine the search for packets containing "git clone" requests.
  7. Once you have identified the "git clone" request in the network packets, you can analyze the information further to determine the source and destination of the request.


By following these steps, you can effectively detect incoming "git clone" requests in network packets using a packet analyzer tool like Wireshark.
