 PCAP: This is referring to a packet capture file.  A tool like Wireshark (or tcpdump) could be used to sniff the traffic on a network, save it to a file and then playback the activity so it can be analysed. ​ It's useful for a number of things including reverse engineering,​ debugging problems or learning about a protocol.

 The word hardware here is incorrect - an IP address isn't directly tied to hardware, that would be a MAC address, in that case the word hardware would be redundant too.  I guess the writers though using the more correct alternative "IP address"​ would sound too simple. The word hardware here is incorrect - an IP address isn't directly tied to hardware, that would be a MAC address, in that case the word hardware would be redundant too.  I guess the writers though using the more correct alternative "IP address"​ would sound too simple.
  
 +How would this work?
  
 +1) The AI has compromised the home router. ​ The Eliza is directly connected to the AI who is pretending to be it's normal control server. ​ Not this option (as we've just seen it work from both his [seperated] parents houses). 
 +2) The AI has compromised the company that provides the Eliza and is routing replies through them - this would be better (for the AI) as it would be able to listen from any Eliza device
