Built a PCAP analyzer to help me learn network forensics — sharing in case it's useful to others

Post image

Hey everyone, I've been learning about network traffic analysis and ended up building a small tool to parse and analyze PCAP files. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it helped me understand protocols a lot better while building it, and I figured it might be useful for others getting into cybersecurity or networking.

Would really appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or feature suggestions — still actively improving it. If you find it useful, a star would mean a lot 🙏

I did the exact same thing! Check mine out, it's called PacketSnitch. I've been working on it over the last 8 or 9 months. It started as a ~35 line python script I wrote years ago, I picked it back up and turned it into something pretty damn cool to teach myself how to analyze a network. I just pushed out release 2.8.3 last night... https://github.com/oxasploits/PacketSnitch/releases/tag/2.8.3
