Packet capture analyzer for libpcap files with live AF_PACKET capture

Packet Capture Analyzer is a Linux alternative to Wireshark, written in pure Python.

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).
