In plain words

CloudShark is a web-based version of Wireshark, the network packet analysis tool. It allows users to upload, view, and analyze network packet captures through a browser without installing software locally. The platform is designed for network administrators, security professionals, and anyone needing to inspect network traffic and troubleshoot connectivity issues. It combines Wireshark's packet analysis capabilities with cloud accessibility for collaborative network diagnosis.

  • A toy version of Wireshark (student project)2025 · github.com · ▲265

    Hi everyone, I recently published a small open-source project. It’s a minimal network packet analyzer written in Go — designed more like a learning toy than a replacement for Wireshark. It currently supports parsing basic protocols like TLS, DNS, and HTTP, and includes a tiny fuzzing engine to test payload responses. You can inspect raw packet content directly from the terminal. The output is colored for readability, and the code structure is kept simple and clear. The entire program is very small — just about 400 lines of Go code. I know it’s not anywhere near Wireshark’s level, and I still…

  • Stratoshark, a sibling application to Wireshark2025 · stratoshark.org · ▲321

    Hi all, I'm excited to announce Stratoshark, a sibling application to Wireshark that lets you capture and analyze process activity (system calls) and log messages in the same way that Wireshark lets you capture and analyze network packets. If you would like to try it out you can download installers for Windows and macOS and source code for all platforms at https://stratoshark.org. AMA: I'm the goofball whose name is at the top of the "About" box in both applications, and I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have.

  • Babyshark – Wireshark made easy (terminal UI for PCAPs)Feb 2026 · github.com · ▲151

    Hey all, I built babyshark, a terminal UI for PCAPs aimed at people who find Wireshark powerful but overwhelming. The goal is “PCAPs for humans”: Overview dashboard answers what’s happening + what to click next Domains view (hostnames first) → select a domain → jump straight to relevant flows (works even when DNS is encrypted/cached by using observed IPs from flows) Weird stuff view surfaces common failure/latency signals (retransmits/out-of-order hints, resets, handshake issues, DNS failures when visible) From there you can drill down: Flows → Packets → Explain (plain-English…
