Dedicated capture tools

Monitoring/tracing tools

The following tools can process the libpcap-format files that Wireshark and TShark produce or can perform network traffic capture and analysis functions complementary to those performed by Wireshark and TShark. In brackets you will find the program license and the supported operating systems.

Traffic generators

These tools will either generate traffic and transmit it, retransmit traffic from a capture file, perhaps with changes, or permit you to edit traffic in a capture file and retransmit it.

This is another collection of traffic generators: http://www.grid.unina.it/software/ITG/link.php

Capture file editors and/or anonymizers

These tools can be used to "anonymize" capture files, replacing fields such as IP addresses with randomized values.

There's a categorized list of anonymization tools at the CAIDA site.

Capture file repair

These tools attempt to repair damaged capture files as much as can be done.

Capture file tools

Capture file conversion

These tools convert between different capture file formats.

USB capture

Currently, raw USB traffic can be captured with Wireshark only under Linux, macOS, and Windows; see CaptureSetup/USB. If it's an Ethernet (or any other network related) USB adapter, Wireshark can capture e.g. Ethernet traffic from that USB device if the platform supports it (which it usually will do). On Win32 you can however try:
