PacketScope is an open-source, eBPF-based protocol stack analysis and debugging tool for server-side network observability and defense. It combines packet tracing, latency/packet-loss statistics, topology visualization, low-level attack detection, and LLM/MCP integration into a Docker-deployed web application.

Use cases

• diagnose network performance bottlenecks in the Linux protocol stack
• visualize packet paths and global network latency on a topology map
• detect stealthy low-level protocol stack attacks that WAFs and IDS miss
• track latency, packet loss, and interaction frequency per protocol layer
• integrate network analysis into LLM agents via MCP servers
• debug unclear transmission paths on production servers

When to choose

• you need fine-grained, kernel-level packet tracing on Linux servers
• traditional WAF/IDS tools leave protocol-stack-level blind spots
• you want visualized network path and latency analysis with a web UI
• you want eBPF-based observability without the BCC runtime dependency

When to avoid

• you need Windows or macOS host monitoring (eBPF is Linux-only)
• you only need simple packet capture without analysis (tcpdump/wireshark suffice)
• you cannot run Docker or root-privileged services on the target host
• you need a lightweight agent for edge or embedded devices
