Using TShark For Continuous Packet Monitoring and Packet Intelligence

If you are already capturing your packets and are trying to figure out how to best use these PCAP files and the data in them, I have released a python package consisting of two scripts to help you gain intelligence from the packets. The primary script "pktIntel.py" retrieves IP addresses, Domains, URLS, http host information along with TLS Server Name Indication information and compares this to data in your existing PCAPs.

To learn more about this package, checkout the project repository on GitHub:  https://github.com/SecurityNik/pktIntel

  1. TShark provides a powerful command-line approach to capturing and analyzing network traffic, making it useful for continuous packet monitoring and security investigations. Combining packet captures with Python-based analysis can help identify IP addresses, domains, URLs, HTTP host information, and TLS Server Name Indication (SNI) details. These insights can support network troubleshooting, traffic analysis, and threat detection.

    Python automation can simplify the process of extracting intelligence from PCAP files and processing large volumes of network data. Organizations looking to strengthen their teams' practical programming and automation skills can explore Corporate Python Training.
