Pcap Analyzer

Pcap-Analyzer is a desktop utility designed for the forensic analysis of offline packet capture files. It functions by decoding binary network protocols into structured metadata, allowing users to examine network activity without requiring a live connection.

The tool provides comprehensive capabilities for reconstructing communication sessions and extracting application-layer artifacts, such as transmitted files and credentials. It distinguishes itself through integrated geospatial mapping, which correlates source and destination network addresses with physical location databases to visualize communication paths on a global scale.

Beyond reconstruction and mapping, the software includes automated security features that scan packet contents against libraries of known attack signatures. This enables the identification of malicious activity, brute-force attempts, and common protocol-based threats. The platform also generates high-level graphical representations of network traffic, aggregating flow statistics to provide an overview of protocol distribution and communication patterns.

Features

  • Network Traffic Analyzers - Parses offline packet capture files to visualize flows, extract artifacts, and identify security threats.
  • Historical Packet Parsing - Decodes binary network protocols from offline capture files into structured metadata for analysis.
  • Network Traffic Flow Visualizers - Generates graphical representations of network traffic flows and protocol distribution from packet metadata.
  • Artifact Extractors - Recovers application-layer artifacts like files and credentials from captured network traffic.
  • Stream Reassemblers - Reconstructs communication sessions by grouping individual packets into coherent data streams.
  • Protocol-Aware Extraction - Extracts sensitive credentials and files by parsing network traffic according to specific protocol structures.
  • Network Credential Capturers - Reconstructs communication streams to recover transmitted files and credentials from network traffic.
  • Signature-Based Threat Detectors - Identifies malicious activity by matching packet contents against known attack signatures.
  • Geographic IP Lookups - Visualizes communication paths by correlating network addresses with physical location databases.

    lgandx/PCredz

    2,509View on GitHub↗

    PCredz is a network credential extraction tool and traffic analyzer designed to intercept passwords, hashes, and tokens from IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. It functions as both a real-time monitor for live network interfaces and a parser for saved packet capture files. The tool identifies sensitive information, including credit card numbers and authentication tokens, using protocol-aware parsing. It further acts as a password hash recovery utility by normalizing captured authentication hashes into specific syntaxes compatible with external recovery software. Capabilities include real-time traffic in

    Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer and traffic inspector used for capturing and inspecting network traffic. It functions as a packet capture tool that intercepts live data from network interfaces and a TCP/IP dissector that decodes network protocol layers to translate raw binary packets into human-readable fields. The system provides capabilities for protocol stream reconstruction, grouping related packets into cohesive conversations between endpoints. It also operates as a packet file converter, allowing for the reading, modification, and conversion of network capture files across vari

    Termshark is a terminal-based network packet analyzer and protocol flow inspector. It serves as a keyboard-driven interface for the tshark command-line utility, providing a terminal user interface to monitor data flow and analyze network traffic. The tool functions as a terminal interface for Wireshark, utilizing its filtering and inspection logic to analyze recorded capture files or live network interfaces. It specifically enables the reassembly and inspection of TCP and UDP flows to isolate traffic patterns and analyze network conversations by protocol. The system includes capabilities for

    Suricata is an open-source network intrusion detection and prevention engine that analyzes live network traffic in real-time to identify and alert on malicious activity. It operates as a rule-based threat detection system, matching traffic against user-defined signatures to detect known attack patterns and policy violations, and can be placed inline to actively block malicious packets before they reach their target. The engine inspects a wide range of application-layer protocols including HTTP, DNS, TLS, SMB, and MQTT, and supports high-performance packet capture through specialized hardware a
