Packet Debugger

The Packet Debugger is a software that offers a user interface similar to a debugger for pcap packet capture files. With this tool, users can interact with packet streams as if they were using a source code debugger. The Packet Debugger allows users to list, inspect, modify, and retransmit any captured packet file, and also facilitates working with live packet captures.

To use the Packet Debugger, users must fulfill certain requirements, such as having PCS (Packet Construction Set), Python, pdflatex, as well as the BSD version of make(1). Installation is straightforward through the command # python setup.py install. After installation, users can run a test using # cd tests/ # pdb.py -f test.out.

In addition to its easy-to-use interface, the Packet Debugger offers helpful documentation for users. To build the documentation, a user can run the command # cd docs/ # bsdmake all. This will provide access to PDF versions of the documentation.

Overall, the Packet Debugger proves to be a valuable tool for those who work with pcap packet capture files regularly. With its debugger-like interface and ability to work with live packet captures, this software simplifies the process of packet analysis and modification.
