PA Toolkit – A Collection Of Traffic Analysis Plugins Focused On Security

[sc name=”ad_1″]

PA Toolkit is a collection of traffic analysis plugins to extend the functionality of Wireshark from a micro-analysis tool and protocol dissector to the macro analyzer and threat hunter. PA Toolkit contains plugins (both dissectors and taps) covering various scenarios for multiple protocols, including:

• WiFi (WiFi network summary, Detecting beacon, deauth floods etc.)
• HTTP (Listing all visited websites, downloaded files)
• HTTPS (Listing all websites opened on HTTPS)
• ARP (MAC-IP table, Detect MAC spoofing and ARP poisoning)
• DNS (Listing DNS servers used and DNS resolution, Detecting DNS Tunnels)

The project is under active development and more plugins will be added in near future.
