TrafficWatch
TrafficWatch, a packet sniffer tool, allows you to monitor and analyze network traffic from PCAP files. It provides insights into various network protocols and can help with network troubleshooting, security analysis, and more.
Features
- Protocol-specific packet analysis for ARP, ICMP, TCP, UDP, DNS, DHCP, HTTP, SNMP, LLMNR, and NetBIOS.
- Packet filtering based on protocol, source IP, destination IP, source port, destination port, and more.
- Summary statistics on captured packets.
- Interactive mode for in-depth packet inspection.
- Timestamps for each captured packet.
- User-friendly colored output for improved readability.
Requirements
- Python 3.x
- scapy
- argparse
- pyshark
- colorama

options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f FILE, --file FILE Path to the .pcap file to analyze
-p {ARP,ICMP,TCP,UDP,DNS,DHCP,HTTP,SNMP,LLMNR,NetBIOS}, --protocol {ARP,ICMP,TCP,UDP,DNS,DHCP,HTTP,SNMP,LLMNR,NetBIOS}
Filter by specific protocol
-c COUNT, --count COUNT
Number of packets to display
-w WRITE, --write WRITE
Path to the .pcap file to write
To specify a protocol filter (e.g., HTTP) and limit the number of displayed packets (e.g., 10), use:
$ python trafficwatch.py -f path/to/your.pcap -p HTTP -c 10
