Top 8 C packet-capture Projects

  • Wireshark

    Read-only mirror of Wireshark's Git repository at https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark. ⚠️ GitHub won't let us disable pull requests. ⚠️ THEY WILL BE IGNORED HERE ⚠️ Upload them at GitLab instead.

    Project mention: How to implement SSL/TLS pinning in Node.js | dev.to | 2023-08-29

    A great way to test the effectiveness of a pinning implementation is by simulating an MITM attack. Tools like Mitmproxy or Wireshack allow us to create a test environment to monitor, intercept, and proxy network requests for a test host.

  • npcap

    Nmap Project's Windows packet capture and transmission library

    Project mention: GNS3 ethernet cloud error | /r/gns3 | 2023-05-28

  • tcpdump

    the TCPdump network dissector

    Project mention: How do I debug a LAN connection issue on Linux | /r/techsupport | 2023-06-09

  • libpcap

    the LIBpcap interface to various kernel packet capture mechanism

    Project mention: How do remote interfaces work in wireshark? | /r/wireshark | 2023-06-07

    As long as your custom service used the rpcap protocol I'd expect it to be possible. You may find this GitHub page informative, since it includes some rpcap source code and one of the main Wireshark developers appears to be a contributor there.

  • Divert

    WinDivert: Windows Packet Divert

    Project mention: Can we monitor windows network information in realtime using minifilters? | /r/learnprogramming | 2022-10-27

    I am trying to write a minifilter that more or less captures everything that happens in the kernel and was wondering if I could also capture "URLs"/network information; I stumbled upon windivert which seems to be using a .sys driver and also another thread which says we cannot get URLs in driver mode which leaves me a bit confused. If it is true then how does windivert do it?

  • netsniff-ng

    A Swiss army knife for your daily Linux network plumbing.
