What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A low-cost open-source hardware and software USB protocol sniffer supporting Low-, Full-, and High-Speed USB, built on a Cypress FX2LP MCU, Lattice FPGA, and USB PHY. It captures traffic in PcapNG format and integrates with Wireshark via a plugin, or runs standalone from the command line.

Use cases

  • capture and analyze USB traffic in Wireshark
  • debug USB device communication at the packet level
  • sniff low-speed, full-speed, and high-speed USB protocols
  • save USB captures as pcapng files
  • build a cheap DIY USB protocol analyzer
  • reverse-engineer USB device protocols

When to choose

  • you need a low-cost hardware USB sniffer with full LS/FS/HS support
  • you want USB captures directly in Wireshark
  • you need open-source hardware with provided schematics, gerbers, and firmware

When to avoid

  • you only need software-only USB monitoring on Linux (usbmon may suffice)
  • you need USB 3.x SuperSpeed capture
  • you don't want to assemble hardware or solder a custom board
