Wiredtagger

Wiredtagger is a software tool designed for network traffic analysis and packet capture. It functions by intercepting and examining data packets as they travel across a network. This allows users to gain insights into network activity, identify potential security issues, and troubleshoot connectivity problems. Wiredtagger supports various network protocols and can be used to dissect packet contents, providing detailed information about the source, destination, and data payload. Its primary applications include network monitoring, security auditing, and debugging network applications. The tool is often employed by network administrators, security professionals, and software developers. Wiredtagger's capabilities enable the capture of live traffic or the analysis of previously recorded packet files. It presents the captured data in a user-friendly interface, facilitating the identification of patterns and anomalies within network communications. The development and maintenance of Wiredtagger are typically overseen by a community of developers or a specific organization focused on network utility software.
