Pulsecapt

Pulsecapt is a software tool designed for capturing and analyzing network traffic. It allows users to record packets as they traverse a network interface, enabling detailed inspection of communication patterns. The captured data can then be examined to identify issues such as performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, or protocol misconfigurations.

The primary function of Pulsecapt is packet capture. It intercepts data packets flowing through a network and saves them to a file for later analysis. This captured data can include information about the source and destination of the packets, the protocols used, and the payload content. This capability is invaluable for network administrators, security professionals, and developers who need to understand how their networks are functioning or troubleshoot problems.

Following capture, Pulsecapt provides tools for analyzing the collected data. This analysis can involve filtering packets based on various criteria, reconstructing network conversations, and visualizing traffic flows. By examining the captured packets, users can gain insights into application behavior, identify unauthorized network activity, or diagnose connectivity problems. The specific features and analytical capabilities can vary depending on the version and configuration of Pulsecapt.
