NetworkMiner is a Windows-based program that allows users to capture, analyze and extract data from internet traffic. Cybersecurity professionals can investigate network activity, identify security threats and reconstruct transmitted files.
Passive sniffing
The app operates as a passive network sniffer, capturing packets without actively interfering with traffic. This allows for discrete data collection without triggering security alerts. Users can also reconstruct and extract files, images, emails and credentials from tracked areas, aiding in forensic investigations and comprehensive audits.
Moreover, it is possible to generate detailed insights into network packets, including IP addresses, hostnames, open ports and DNS queries. Similar to Wireshark, here you can analyze the traffic and detect potential issues on numerous levels.
Hosts
Instead of just displaying raw packets, the software organizes data by host. In other words, you are able to view logs, operating systems and session details for better clarity. In addition, it is possible to inspect encrypted connections and detect SSL/TLS certificates, helping security analysts assess potential risks in this type of communications.
