netsniff-ng is is a free, performant Linux network sniffer for packet inspection. The gain of performance is reached by ‘zero-copy’ mechanisms, so that the kernel does not need to copy packets from kernelspace to userspace. For this purpose netsniff-ng is libpcap independent, but nevertheless supports the pcap file format for capturing, replaying and performing offline-analysis of pcap dumps. netsniff-ng can be used for protocol analysis, reverse engineering and network debugging…. netsniff-ng is is a free, performant Linux network sniffer for packet inspection.
