This application allows users to capture network packets on Windows systems, providing real-time analysis with a  graphical interface.\n\n![Example](/procapture.png)\n\n## Table of Contents\n1. [Overview](#overview) - an overview of the project\n2. [Features](#features) - what features this project contains\n3. [Installation](#installation) - how to install the application and source code\n4. [Building](#building-the-project) - how to build the application from source\n5.

The backend utilizes Npcap, a packet capture library, for low-level network packet interception, while the frontend is built with wxWidgets to display the captured packets in a structured and easy-to-navigate graphical interface.\n\n### Features\n- Capture live network packets from multiple network interfaces.\n- Display packet details such as source/destination IP, protocol, and timestamp.\n- Filter packets by protocol, IP address, and more.\n- Export packet data for further analysis or logging.\n- Analyze hex-dumps of raw packet data.\n- Start, stop, pause, and resume packet capture. \n\n## Installation\nYou can either download the source code or the actual application to run. The application ships with the necessary DLL's, so no additional dependencies are required.\n\n### To download the application:\n1. Navigate to the [GitHub repositories release page](https://github.com/provrb/provrbs-packet-capture/releases).\n2. Donwload 'procapture.rar' from the lastest release.\n3. Extract the folder and its contents\n4. Run procapture.exe to start the application.\n\n### To download the source code:\nOpen a command prompt or terminal and clone the GitHub repository using:\n\n```bash\n\u003e git clone https://github.com/provrb/provrbs-packet-capture.git\n\u003e cd provrbs-packet-capture\n```\n\nYou can also download the source code from the [GitHub repositories release page](https://github.com/provrb/provrbs-packet-capture/releases).\n\n\n## Building the Project\nTo build the project:\n1. Download the source code using the instructions above\n2. Open the Visual Studio Solution file\n3. Click the build configuration, can be CLI (command-line interface) instead of GUI or\nRelease (GUI).\n4. Navigate to Build \u003e Build Solution.\n5. The outputted .exe will be located at solution_dir/out/\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions to improve this project are welcome! If you'd like to contribute, please follow these steps:\n\n1. Fork the repository.\n2. Create a new branch for your feature or bugfix.\n3. Commit your changes.\n4. Push to the branch (git push origin feature-name).\n5. Open a Pull Request for review.\n\nBe sure to include detail in your submitted pull request.\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the GNU General Public License v2.0 (GPL-2.0) License - see the LICENSE file for details.\n    [License](LICENSE)\n\n![Logo](src/rsrc/gui_icon.ico)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fprovrb%2Fprovrbs-packet-capture","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fprovrb%2Fprovrbs-packet-capture","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fprovrb%2Fprovrbs-packet-capture/lists"}
