Before the first capture

  • Builds are not notarized yet. If macOS blocks the first launch, choose Open Anyway in System Settings › Privacy & Security.
  • Live capture needs access to /dev/bpf*. Wireshark’s ChmodBPF provides it, or grant it for the session:
sudo chown "$USER" /dev/bpf*

Windows

Windows on x64.

Desktop app

  • Installer · x64

    pruftnet-desktop-0.2.0-win-x64.exe · 104 MB

Local server

  • Zip archive · x64

    pruftnet-server-0.2.0-win32-x64.zip · 36.8 MB

Before the first capture

  • Install Npcap first. Pruftnet uses it for capture and does not bundle it.
  • The installer is not signed yet, so Windows may show a publisher warning.

Linux

Ubuntu 24.04+ or Debian 13+, x64 or ARM64.

Desktop app

  • Debian package · x64

    pruftnet-desktop-0.2.0-linux-amd64.deb · 100 MB

  • Debian package · ARM64

    pruftnet-desktop-0.2.0-linux-arm64.deb · 93.7 MB

  • Tarball · ARM64

    pruftnet-server-0.2.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz · 45.9 MB

Before the first capture

  • Use the Debian package for live capture; AppImage cannot keep file capabilities.
  • Grant capture rights to the native worker only, never to the app itself:
sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /opt/Pruftnet/resources/native/pruftnet_capture_worker

Nightly

Nightly 0.2.1-nightly.20261008.23

Built from every change merged into the development branch. Nightly installs side by side with the stable app, under its own name, port and data directory.
