A Python command-line tool that sniffs passwords, hashes, and other sensitive data from a live network interface or a pcap file. It reassembles fragmented packets and identifies services without relying on port numbers.

Use cases

• sniff passwords and hashes from network traffic
• extract credentials from a pcap capture file
• capture HTTP basic auth and form logins on a network
• detect NTLMv1/v2 and Kerberos authentication traffic
• analyze cleartext protocol logins like FTP, IMAP, POP, Telnet, SMTP

When to choose

• you need to demonstrate cleartext credential exposure during a pentest or security audit
• you want to analyze saved pcap files for leaked credentials
• you need protocol detection independent of port numbers

When to avoid

• you need encrypted traffic analysis (HTTPS, SSH)
• you want a maintained tool with modern Python 3 support
• you need a GUI or passive IDS-style alerting rather than a CLI dump
