Installation

Requirements

  • Linux, Windows or macOS with Python 3.10 or newer
  • Python packages (installed automatically): PyQt6, matplotlib, scapy
  • On minimal Linux systems Qt may need the X11/xcb runtime libraries, e.g. on Debian / Ubuntu: sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0 libxkbcommon-x11-0 libegl1

Install from source

git clone https://aalejandro.ddns.net/ariel/pcap-reportgenerator.git
cd pcap-reportgenerator
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate        # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -e .

This installs the pcap-report command. Start the GUI with pcap-report, or analyse a file directly with pcap-report capture.pcap.

Try it

A synthetic sample capture with typical traffic and one example of every detected incident can be generated with:

python tools/make_sample_pcap.py sample-office.pcap
pcap-report sample-office.pcap

All addresses and names in it are fictional (documentation IP ranges and example.* domains).

Running the tests

pip install -e ".[test]"
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen pytest

Packages

Ready-made Linux packages (portable archive and .deb) are planned; until then, install from source.
