Visit NETRESEC

Netresec is an independent software vendor specializing in network forensics and network traffic analysis. Its tools address the need to capture, inspect, and analyze network traffic for security monitoring and incident investigation, including passive sniffing, offline PCAP analysis, and handling large capture files.

Its main products include NetworkMiner, a Network Forensic Analysis Tool for Windows that can passively detect operating systems, sessions, hostnames, and open ports, and parse PCAP files to reassemble transmitted files and certificates. CapLoader handles large PCAP files by listing TCP and UDP flows for filtering and export to tools like Wireshark or NetworkMiner. PolarProxy is a transparent TLS/SSL inspection proxy that decrypts and re-encrypts traffic while saving decrypted traffic to a PCAP file. FlowCarp identifies application-layer protocols by connection behavior rather than ports. RawCap is a lightweight sniffer.

NetworkMiner is available in a professional edition and a free open source version. The tools are aimed at network security monitoring, incident response, malware analysis, and network forensics work.
