Xplico
Xplico is installed in the major distributions of digital forensics and penetration testing: Kali Linix, BackTrack, DEFT, Security Onion, Matriux, BackBox, CERT Forensics Tools, Pentoo and CERT-Toolkit. Xplico allows concurrent access by multiple users. Any user can manage one or more Cases. The UI is a Web User Interface and its backend DB can be SQLite, MySQL or PostgreSQL. Xplico can be used as a Cloud Network Forensic Analysis Tool. The goal of Xplico is extract from an internet traffic capture the applications data contained. For example, from a pcap file Xplico extracts each email (POP, IMAP, and SMTP protocols), all HTTP contents, each VoIP call (SIP), FTP, TFTP, and so on. Xplico isn’t a network protocol analyzer. Xplico is an open source Network Forensic Analysis Tool (NFAT). At each data reassembled by Xplico is associated a XML file that uniquely identifies the flows and the pcap containing the data reassembled.

Sniffnet
Sniffnet is a network monitoring tool designed to help users easily keep track of their Internet traffic. Whether gathering statistics or inspecting in-depth network activities, Sniffnet provides comprehensive coverage. It emphasizes user experience, ensuring ease of use compared to other cumbersome network analyzers. Completely free and open source, Sniffnet is dual-licensed under MIT or Apache-2.0, with the full source code available on GitHub. Developed entirely in Rust, it leverages this modern programming language to build efficient and reliable software, emphasizing performance and safety. Key features include selecting a network adapter to inspect, applying filters to observed traffic, viewing overall statistics and real-time charts of Internet traffic, exporting comprehensive capture reports as PCAP files, identifying over 6,000 upper-layer services, protocols, trojans, and worms, discovering domain names and ASNs of hosts, pinpointing connections in the local network.

Riverbed Packet Analyzer
Riverbed Packet Analyzer accelerates real-time network packet analysis and reporting of large trace files through an intuitive graphical user interface and a broad selection of pre-defined analysis views. It enables users to quickly identify and troubleshoot complex network and application performance issues down to the bit level, with full integration with Wireshark. By simply dragging and dropping preconfigured analysis views onto a group of virtual interfaces or a packet trace file, users can see results immediately, transforming hours of work into seconds. The tool facilitates the capture and merging of multiple trace files, allowing for precise pinpointing of problems across multiple segments. Additionally, it provides the capability to zoom into a 100-microsecond view of the network to identify utilization spikes or microbursts that can saturate a gigabit network and cause significant issues.

WinDump
WinDump is the Windows version of tcpdump, the command line network analyzer for UNIX. WinDump is fully compatible with tcpdump and can be used to watch, diagnose and save to disk network traffic according to various complex rules. It can run under Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista. WinDump captures using the WinPcap library and drivers, which are freely downloadable from the WinPcap website. WinDump supports 802.11b/g wireless capture and troubleshooting through the Riverbed AirPcap adapter. WinDump is free and is released under a BSD-style license. WinDump is able to use the interfaces exported by WinPcap. WinDump can run on all the operating systems supported by WinPcap. WinDump is the porting of tcpdump. It is possible to launch more than one session (on the same network adapter or on different adapters). Except for the increased CPU load, there are no drawbacks in using multiple applications at the same time.
