🕵️‍♂️ GUI-Based Packet Sniffer with Radar Deploy

A user-friendly and powerful GUI-based Network Packet Sniffer developed in Python. This tool allows you to capture live packets, either by protocol or in Radar Deploy mode, which captures all traffic. Once capture ends, you can search for specific packets using IP address or protocol filters.

🚀 Features

• 📡 Real-Time Packet Capturing
• 🎛️ Two Modes
  • Protocol-Specific Mode: Filter traffic based on protocols like TCP, UDP, ICMP
  • Radar Deploy Mode: Capture all protocols simultaneously
• 🔎 Post-Capture Filtering
  • Search packets based on IP and Protocol
• 🖥️ Graphical User Interface
  • Built with Tkinter for a smooth, native experience
• 📄 Detailed Packet Metadata
  • View IP, ports, protocol, payload size, timestamps, etc.

🧪 Usage Instructions

---

Step 1: Launch the GUI
python Net-Snif.py

Step 2: Choose the network interface and sniffing mode

Step 3: Start and stop packet capture

Step 4: Search packets by:
       - Source/Destination IP
       - Protocol Type

Note: You may need administrator/root privileges to sniff packets.

🔒 Permissions

On Linux/macOS, run with elevated permissions:
sudo python Net-Snif.py
