What is PCAP (Packet Capture)?

PCAP files are data files created using a program. These files contain packet data of a network and are used to analyze the network characteristics. They also contribute to controlling the network traffic and determining network status. Using PCAP files, teams can attend to detect network problems and resolve data communications using various programs. Security teams can use a network packet capture tool to identify, analyze, inspect, and monitor network traffic. Unusual traffic spikes can be due to a faulty application or a security breach. The packet capture tool allows IT teams to identify the root cause of the issues by tracking network packets.
