## Description

Ecapture is a suite of specialized auditing tools designed to capture plaintext database queries, log executed shell commands, forward packet captures, and decrypt TLS traffic.

The system extracts plaintext content from encrypted communications and TLS master secrets without requiring CA certificates. It further monitors data interactions by capturing SQL queries from database instances and recording commands from shell environments for host-level auditing.

The toolset includes capabilities for network traffic analysis, exporting captured data to pcapng files, and forwarding events to external packet analysis software. It also provides an interface to modify capture parameters and tool settings in real time via HTTP.
