PcapXray: Free Network Traffic Analysis and Forensic Tool

PcapXray is a free network traffic analysis and forensic tool used to inspect packets captured in a pcap file. It provides a graphical interface to analyze network traffic patterns, extract files, examine packet contents, and gain insight into communication flows.

What is PcapXray?

PcapXray is an open source network packet analyzer and forensic tool for examining packet capture (pcap) files. It provides a graphical user interface for conducting packet analysis, visualizing network conversations, extracting transferred files, and gaining insight into communication flows.

Some key features of PcapXray include:

• Loading and parsing pcap files captured with common packet sniffing tools like Wireshark and tcpdump.
• Summarizing network flows between endpoints with details like protocol, packet and byte counts.
• Graphing communication sequences between IPs with timeline-based visualizations.
• Inspecting packet contents to analyze headers, payloads, and hex dumps.
• Reconstructing transferred files by carving data from observed network flows.
• Decrypting TLS traffic by importing private keys to unlock encrypted communications.
• Searching and filtering packets to drill down on specific connections.
• Exporting filtered packet captures for further analysis.

PcapXray runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS platforms. It can help network analysts and forensic investigators quickly visualize traffic patterns and extract insights by interactively exploring pcap files. The intuitive UI and data visualization features allow rapid analysis compared to manual packet inspection.
