USBPcap is an open-source USB packet capture tool for Windows, consisting of a filter driver and a command-line capture application (USBPcapCMD). Captured traffic is written in pcap format and can be analyzed in Wireshark, which has native USBPcap support.

Use cases

  • capture USB traffic on Windows
  • sniff USB packets for protocol reverse engineering
  • debug USB device communication
  • analyze USB traffic in Wireshark
  • record USB packets to a pcap file

When to choose

  • you need to inspect USB traffic on Windows 7/8/10
  • you want Wireshark-compatible USB captures
  • you are reverse-engineering a USB device protocol

When to avoid

  • you need USB capture on Linux or macOS (use usbmon or similar)
  • you require a signed production driver without test signing
  • you need a GUI-only capture tool
