PCredz

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 interception with IP-based filtering to reduce noise, as well as recursive scanning of directories for historical packet capture files. Extracted data is organized into chronological logs sorted by credential type.

Features

  • Network Credential Capturers - Intercepts and extracts passwords, hashes, and tokens from live network traffic or packet capture files.
  • Credential Interception - Monitors network interfaces in real-time to intercept and extract authentication data as it traverses the wire.
  • Dissection Engines - Parses raw network packets into structured fields based on IPv4 and IPv6 specifications to locate credentials.
  • Network Traffic Analyzers - Monitors IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces to identify sensitive credentials traversing a network in real time.
  • Historical Packet Parsing - Provides capabilities to read and process saved packet capture files for historical traffic analysis.
  • Packet Capture Analysis - Scans saved network capture files or directories to retrieve historical authentication data.
  • Protocol-Aware Extraction - Identifies and extracts passwords, hashes, and authentication tokens from various protocols in IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.
  • Network Capture Parsers - Analyzes saved network traffic files to recover authentication data and credit card numbers.
  • Network Security Auditing - Monitors IPv4 and IPv6 traffic in real time to detect insecure protocols and unauthorized credential transmission.
  • Protocol Signature Matching - Scans raw network bytes for known protocol signatures to identify authentication-related data streams.
  • Traffic Interception Tools - Monitors live network interfaces in real-time to capture and process packets as they traverse the wire.
  • PCAP File Readers - Extracts credentials from saved packet capture files or recursively scans directories for captured data.
  • Hash Format Normalization - Transforms extracted authentication strings into syntaxes compatible with external password recovery software.
  • Hash Formatting - Outputs captured authentication hashes into specific structures compatible with password recovery tools.
  • Recovery Tool Formatting - Formats captured authentication hashes for use with common password recovery and cracking software.
  • Recovery Workflow Integration - Converts captured authentication hashes into formats compatible with password recovery tools for auditing.
  • Network Attacks - Extracts credentials from PCAP files.

    HatBoy/Pcap-Analyzer

    1,047View on GitHub↗

    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

    Responder is a man-in-the-middle framework and network protocol spoofing tool designed to intercept network name queries and impersonate requested resources. It functions as a poisoner for LLMNR, NBT-NS, and MDNS, redirecting network traffic from clients to a controlled listener. The project serves as a credential capture tool that runs rogue servers for SMB, HTTP, and LDAP to collect NTLM hashes and clear text credentials. It enables the harvesting of encrypted authentication tokens and the interception of usernames and passwords sent without encryption. Its broader capabilities include int

    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
