Instead of NETCAP

NETCAP alternatives

NETCAP turns live network traffic and PCAP files into structured audit records for analysis, security research, machine learning, and forensics. Core covers more than 66 record types across TCP, UDP, HTTP, TLS, DNS, and DHCP, with Protocol Buffers, CSV, JSON streams, and Prometheus outputs. Distributed collection, HTTP proxy capture, PCAP processing, CLI tools, and remote capture support cover varied collection setups. Pro adds graph analysis, timelines, notes, analysis modules, anomaly flags, and editable incident reports. Core is free and open source; Pro is €49/mo with a 14-day trial, and Enterprise uses custom pricing. It supports Linux, macOS, Windows, self-hosted, and web deployments.
