RawCap

What is RawCap?

RawCap is a powerful network monitoring tool that enables users to capture and analyze network activity on Windows systems. This lightweight command-line utility leverages raw sockets to provide comprehensive visibility into the network traffic traversing various interfaces, including local loopback, Wi-Fi, and PPP connections

Highlights

• Raw socket-based network sniffing: RawCap utilizes low-level raw sockets to capture network data, allowing it to monitor even the most granular network activity
• Broad interface support: The tool can sniff traffic across a wide range of network interfaces, including local loopback (127.0.0.1), Wi-Fi, and PPP connections
• Minimal resource usage: RawCap is designed to be lightweight, with a small file size (just 23 kB) and minimal impact on system memory and CPU resources
• Standalone and portable: RawCap does not require any additional libraries or DLLs beyond the .NET Framework 2.0, making it a self-contained and easily deployable solution.
