1. PyQt5 Installation Fails:

   # On Ubuntu/Debian
   sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5
   
   # On CentOS/RHEL  
   sudo yum install python3-qt5
   
   # Alternative: Use conda
   conda install pyqt

2. Plugin Loading Errors:

   # Reinitialize plugin system
   python main.py --init-plugins
   
   # Check plugin status
   python main.py --plugins

3. Memory/Performance Issues:

   # Use CLI mode for large datasets
   python main.py --no-gui
   
   # Limit concurrent operations
   # Reduce batch size in config

1. Memory Dump Analysis Fails:

   • Check file format: Ensure .dmp, .mem, .raw format
   • Free space: Ensure 3x dump size available
   • File permissions: Verify read access to dump file
   • Memory: Close other applications to free RAM

2. PCAP Analysis Errors:

   • File corruption: Verify PCAP with tcpdump -r file.pcap
   • Large files: Use filtering or split large captures
   • Format support: Ensure .pcap, .pcapng, or .cap format

3. Plugin Execution Failures:

   • Check dependencies: Ensure plugin requirements met
   • File permissions: Verify plugin file is readable
   • Python path: Ensure plugin directory in path

   • Event diversity: Mix of different event types needed
   • Threshold tuning: Adjust sensitivity in settings

2. Risk Scoring Seems Incorrect:

   • Baseline data: ML improves with more baseline data
   • Context: Risk scores are relative to dataset patterns
   • Manual review: Always validate ML results manually
   • Feedback: Use plugin system to customize scoring

1. Slow Processing:

   • Hardware: Check CPU, RAM, and disk I/O usage
