Real-Time Packet Capture

Powered by a high-performance C++ core, Pruftnet captures network packets in real-time with minimal overhead.

Monitor live traffic, analyze protocols, and inspect every byte flowing through your network interfaces.

Support for Ethernet, IPv4, IPv6, TCP, UDP, ICMP, ARP, and many more protocols out of the box.

  • Live traffic monitoring
  • Deep packet inspection
  • Export captures in PCAP format for use with other tools
  • Run the capture remotely on a server and stream results to the web interface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Pruftnet

What is Pruftnet?

Pruftnet is a visual network analysis tool that combines real-time packet capture with an intuitive visual workflow builder. It helps you understand, analyze, and troubleshoot networks without writing complex scripts.

Is Pruftnet really free?

Yes! Pruftnet is completely free and open source. You can use it, modify it, and contribute to its development.

What operating systems are supported?

Pruftnet works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is available as both a desktop application and a web application.

Do I need coding skills to use Pruftnet?

No. The visual workflow builder allows you to create sophisticated network analysis routines using a drag-and-drop interface. No coding required.

How does Pruftnet compare to Wireshark?

While Wireshark is excellent for packet inspection, Pruftnet adds visual network topology mapping and a unique workflow builder for automated analysis. Think of it as Wireshark meets visual programming.

Is my network data secure?

Absolutely. Pruftnet runs locally on your machine. Your network data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to export it.
