About WinDump
WinDump is the Windows version of tcpdump, the command line network analyzer for UNIX. WinDump is fully compatible with tcpdump and can be used to watch, diagnose and save to disk network traffic according to various complex rules. It can run under Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista. WinDump captures using the WinPcap library and drivers, which are freely downloadable from the WinPcap website. WinDump supports 802.11b/g wireless capture and troubleshooting through the Riverbed AirPcap adapter. WinDump is free and is released under a BSD-style license. WinDump is able to use the interfaces exported by WinPcap. WinDump can run on all the operating systems supported by WinPcap. WinDump is the porting of tcpdump. It is possible to launch more than one session (on the same network adapter or on different adapters). Except for the increased CPU load, there are no drawbacks in using multiple applications at the same time.

Arkime
Arkime is an open source, large-scale, full packet capturing, indexing, and database system designed to augment existing security infrastructure by storing and indexing network traffic in standard PCAP format. It offers full network visibility, facilitating the swift identification and resolution of security and network issues. Security teams gain access to the necessary network visibility data essential for responding to and investigating incidents to expose the full attack scope. Designed to be deployed across multiple clustered systems, Arkime provides the ability to scale to hundreds of gigabits per second. It allows security analysts to respond, reconstruct, investigate, and confirm information about the threats within your network, enabling appropriate responses quickly and precisely. As an open-source platform, Arkime provides users with the benefits of transparency, cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and community support.

NetworkMiner
NetworkMiner is a network forensics tool that extracts artifacts such as files, images, emails, and passwords from captured network traffic in PCAP files. It can also capture live network traffic by sniffing a network interface. Detailed information about each IP address in the analyzed network traffic is aggregated into a network host inventory, which can be used for passive asset discovery and to get an overview of communicating devices. NetworkMiner is primarily designed to run on Windows but can also be used on Linux. Since its first release in 2007, it has become a popular tool among incident response teams and law enforcement and is used by companies and organizations worldwide.

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.
