Product summary
Netfox.Detective is a Windows-based forensic utility built to pull application-level content out of recorded network traffic. It concentrates on recovering and presenting the information exchanged by applications rather than only raw packets, making it useful for incident response and forensic investigations.
Core capabilities
- Built-in parsers for many common application protocols to ease content extraction and interpretation.
- Full-text search across captured traffic, enabling rapid keyword hunts through payloads.
- Multiple visualization modes that let you inspect packet and flow details at several abstraction levels.
- Ability to work with many PCAP files and handle very large capture files (multiple gigabytes).
- Filtering options to narrow views to relevant conversations or packet subsets.
Extensibility and customization
Netfox.Detective is designed to be extended. You can author new extraction modules for additional application protocols using its dedicated protocol-specification language. The platform also allows the addition of new analysis routines and creation of custom presentation layers so you can tailor the tool to specific investigative workflows.
Data handling and accessibility
Extracted information is persisted in a NoSQL datastore, and the tool exposes an open data model so analysts and other tools can access and reuse results. This architecture supports flexible querying and user-defined views on the processed data.
Intended audience
This solution is targeted at security analysts, network forensics specialists, and investigators who require deep inspection of captured traffic and the ability to adapt the tool to unique protocols and workflows.
