VisualEther
VisualEther turns Wireshark packet captures (PCAP/PCAPNG) into readable sequence diagrams — and lets AI coding agents like Claude Code explain, in plain English, why a network session failed.
Wireshark shows every packet but not the conversation. VisualEther draws it directly from the capture — frame-accurate and reproducible — using 82+ built-in protocol templates spanning 5G NR, 5G core, LTE, IMS/VoLTE, SIP/RTP, BGP, OSPF, DNS, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, TLS, Kerberos, Diameter, GTP, and industrial protocols (Modbus, DNP3, EtherNet/IP).
A built-in MCP server extracts only the messages and fields that matter, so an AI agent reads kilobytes of structured data instead of megabytes of raw packets — then runs an author-debug-verify loop, citing frame numbers as evidence. Built on tshark: anything Wireshark can dissect, VisualEther can diagram.

Active Wall
Active Wall uses the middle layer drivers developed independently as the filter engines, which are more low-leveled than other software which uses WinPCap. Because WinPCap is a protocol-type driver, it can only monitor but not block. The other software which uses WinPCap can only block TCP communications, but cannot block UDP, ICMP, IGMP data packets. It has been proved that Active Wall is more stable, correct and effective after working online for a long time. Most similar software support the only one mode- Passby monitoring mode. Besides the Passby mode, Active Wall supports more modes including Gateway mode, Bridge mode and Single mode. It is recommended that the users should use the Gateway mode or the Bridge mode. When using the Passby mode, Active Wall can only block TCP data packets for the limit of the network topology. However, the Gateway mode or the Bridge mode enables the Active Wall to block all kinds of data packets.

Xplico
Xplico is installed in the major distributions of digital forensics and penetration testing: Kali Linix, BackTrack, DEFT, Security Onion, Matriux, BackBox, CERT Forensics Tools, Pentoo and CERT-Toolkit. Xplico allows concurrent access by multiple users. Any user can manage one or more Cases. The UI is a Web User Interface and its backend DB can be SQLite, MySQL or PostgreSQL. Xplico can be used as a Cloud Network Forensic Analysis Tool. The goal of Xplico is extract from an internet traffic capture the applications data contained. For example, from a pcap file Xplico extracts each email (POP, IMAP, and SMTP protocols), all HTTP contents, each VoIP call (SIP), FTP, TFTP, and so on. Xplico isn’t a network protocol analyzer. Xplico is an open source Network Forensic Analysis Tool (NFAT). At each data reassembled by Xplico is associated a XML file that uniquely identifies the flows and the pcap containing the data reassembled.

Deep Secure
Featuring Deep Secure’s unique Threat Removal technology, iX provides 100% guaranteed protection from known and even zero day malware in documents and images. Working on the perimeter, iX acts as a transparent application layer proxy. With support for a wide range of protocols and data formats, it integrates seamlessly into a range of business processes and applications. Documents are intercepted at the boundary and then re-created from scratch, clean and safe on the other side. Nothing travels end-to-end but safe content – 100% guaranteed. Stops malware being infiltrated and prevents covert outbound data loss – for example via image steganography. Deep Secure’s unique content transformation technology intercepts documents at the network boundary and then re-creates them from scratch, clean and safe on the other side. This destroys the threat. Nothing travels end-to-end but safe content.
