🚀 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.
---
## 🧰 Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- 🧾 **Required:** [Elcap Installed and Account Created](https://github.com/tridentiot/elcap)
- ⚙️ **Required:** [Smartsniffer™ Hardware](https://tridentiot.com/technology/hardware/)
- 🪛 **Required:** [USB Drivers](https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/)
---
## ⚡ Quick Start — Run via ElCap
The easiest way to run SmartSniffer™ is through **ElCap**.
#### macOS / Linux
```bash
elcap tools smartsniffer
```
#### Windows (PowerShell)
```powershell

## 🧩 Features
| Feature | Status | Description |
| ------------------------------ | ------ | ------------------------------------------------ |
|  Zigbee Support | ✅ | Zigbee packet analysis with attribute converters |
|  Z-Wave Support | ✅ | Z-Wave packet analysis with command converters |
| ⭐ 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.
