🚀 Trident IoT® SmartSniffer™


Multi-Protocol packet intelligence — built by developers for developers.

---

## 🧠 What Is SmartSniffer™?

Trident IoT® **SmartSniffer™** is a **multi-protocol diagnostic tool**.

The SmartSniffer™ is used to sniff, capture, decode, decrypt and analyze radio frequency (RF) communications within an IOT network. It acts as a protocol analyzer, allowing developers and installers to debug issues, monitor traffic, decrypt secure packets, and optimize network performance.

| ⭐ Packet Bookmarks | ✅ | Star packets, add notes, filter, and navigate bookmarks |
| 💾 Native `.tsf` Captures | ✅ | Save raw+decoded snapshot data with bookmark persistence |
| 🔍 Column Filtering | ✅ | Filter on all columns including additional fields |

## 💾 Capture Files and Bookmark Persistence

SmartSniffer now has two write paths:

1. **Save (`.tsf`)**
Native Trident Sniffer capture format.
Preserves:
- raw packet bytes
- decoded snapshot fields
- bookmark flag + note
- network keys in the capture file

2. **Export (`.dcf` / `.csv`)**
Compatibility output for external workflows.
Bookmark fields are intentionally **not** preserved in DCF/CSV export files.

### Bookmark Workflow

- Toggle bookmark from the grid star column, top-bar controls, or `B` shortcut.
- Add/edit notes in the packet details panel.
- Use `★ Only`, `◀★`, and `★▶` for fast triage navigation.
- Bookmarks are shareable when the capture is saved as `.tsf` and reopened by another user.
