Features: * Open and save classic libpcap .pcap files (micro- and nanosecond, both byte orders; Ethernet, Linux cooked SLL/SLL2, raw IP, BSD loopback link types) * Dissectors: Ethernet/802.1Q, ARP, IPv4 (header checksum check), IPv6 (+extension headers), TCP (flags, options), UDP, ICMP, ICMPv6, DNS (queries/answers, name compression, also over TCP), HTTP/1.x request/response headers, TLS record type * Packet list, protocol detail tree and hex dump with field highlighting * Display filters: protocol names, ip.addr / ip.src / ip.dst (incl. CIDR), port / tcp.port / udp.port, frame.len, tcp.flags.syn, dns.qry.name, http.host, frame contains "text", combined with and / or / not and parentheses * Statistics: protocol hierarchy and TCP/UDP/IP conversations * Follow TCP Stream with retransmission removal, ASCII or hex, save raw stream * Live capture through an AF\_PACKET raw socket (saved as Linux cooked capture) Live capture needs root (or CAP\_NET\_RAW). In the snap connect the interfaces 'sudo snap connect packet-capture-analyzer:network-observe' and 'sudo snap connect packet-capture-analyzer:network-control' and run the app with sudo. Without those permissions the app shows a clear message and you can still analyse .pcap files. pcapng files are not supported (convert with editcap -F pcap).

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/packet-capture-analyzer/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command: ``` sudo yum install epel-release ``` Snap can now be installed as follows: ``` sudo yum install snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Packet Capture Analyzer To install Packet Capture Analyzer, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install packet-capture-analyzer ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
