## Frequently asked questions

### How is this different from network-triage-debugging?

This hub prepares normalized addresses, URLs, endpoint records, and traffic evidence. network-triage-debugging starts after that when the job is to explain why a request, endpoint, certificate, route, or packet trace is failing.

### Can I use the port scanner on any host?

No. Run port checks only against systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test, and record the scope with the result.

### Should converted IP values replace the originals?

No. Keep the raw value, converted value, conversion direction, and source context together so reviewers can audit the handoff.

### Does DNS or WHOIS evidence prove root cause?

Not by itself. These lookups provide context for the conversion package; incident diagnosis belongs in the triage workflow.
