Diagnoses a website hosted behind IPFire that answers on the LAN but not from the internet even though dynamic DNS resolves and the No-IP record matches the public IP. It proves whether traffic reaches IPFire at all using the red-interface address check for ISP carrier-grade NAT, the firewall log DNAT and FORWARDFW ch…
Diagnoses a Dockerised Pi-hole on Debian that answers DNS for about a week and then stops, with dockerd logging a resolver connect failure ending in resource temporarily unavailable on port 53. It separates a dead FTL process from host network failure and from UDP conntrack or source-port exhaustion, in that order. Us…
Fixes this SOC alert enrichment failure. Fix: Confirm the address being queried is the public address Shodan scans (not the translated internal one), query Shodan for that public address, and cross-check one host against an internal scan before trusting an empty result. Use when the exact error in the title blocks the…

Fixes a Burp proxy listener failing to bind because the address is already in use, by finding the process holding the port and moving or freeing the listener. Use when Burp reports the listener failed to bind on the tester machine. Not for proxy connection errors in the browser, which happen after Burp is already list…

Short answer: start the server.
Short answer: Docker Desktop is not running (or not finished starting) on your Windows machine.
Fixes nginx failing to start because port 80 is already bound, by finding the occupying process and either stopping it or moving nginx to another port. Not for permission or config-syntax errors.

Fixes marimo failing to start because the port is already in use by a stale session. Use when the bind fails with address-in-use. Not for reactive cycle errors or export problems.
Fixes SSL renewals failing on http-01 challenge timeouts by making the challenge file reachable over port 80 from the public internet. Not for DNS-01 challenges, and not for rate limiting by the certificate authority.

Stops parallel test shards from colliding on the same port by deriving per-shard ports from the shard index or using ephemeral ports. Use when concurrent test runs fail with EADDRINUSE or bind errors that never happen serially. Not for conflicts with unrelated services already holding a port.
Fixes node error listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use after migrating the dev server to vite. Use it when vite refuses to start because something already holds the port - usually the old dev server process still running. Key trigger: EADDRINUSE naming the vite port right after the migration.

Confirms TIME_WAIT socket pileups with connection-state counts, then fixes the real cause first (connection reuse and keep-alive) before tuning kernel settings like the TIME_WAIT reuse knob or the ephemeral port range. Use when clients or proxies hit 'cannot assign requested address' under high connection churn. Not f…
Fixes wrangler dev failing to start because another agent's dev server already holds the port. The skill gives each agent its own port via the dev port setting or the --port flag, detects the port-in-use message, and stops stale servers before starting new ones.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent timed out waiting for workerd local dev server to become ready, startup failed silently - agent failed to download the export: hubspot file url expired mid-fetch
