packet capture

In the world of network troubleshooting and analysis, the ability to capture and inspect data packets is indispensable. This is where TCPFlow comes into play, a powerful tool that simplifies the process of monitoring TCP traffic between hosts. Unlike other packet analysis tools like Wireshark, TCPFlow focuses specifically on TCP streams, making it ideal for users who are interested in analyzing TCP traffic without the overhead of capturing all network traffic. TCPFlow is an open-source program that captures data transmitted as part of TCP connections (flows), and then saves that data to files for analysis. It reconstructs the actual data streams and can capture non-standard port traffic that might be overlooked by other packet sniffers.
