<i>PCAPdroid</i> is an open source network monitoring and capture tool. It can capture an Android device traffic without rooting the device. The traffic can be sent to a remote receiver.
<i>PCAPdroid</i> is an open source app which lets you monitor and export the network traffic of your device. The app simulates a VPN to achieve non-root capture but, contrary to a VPN, the traffic is processed locally into the device.
<b>Features:</b>
* Log and examine the connections made by the user and system apps
* Extract SNI, DNS query, URL and remote IP address
* Apply a filter to only capture the traffic of the selected app
* Easily download a PCAP file of the traffic thanks to the integrated HTTP server
* Stream the PCAP to a remote receiver for further analysis (e.g. wireshark)
* Decrypt HTTPS/TLS traffic via a remote mitmproxy
* On rooted devices, it can capture the packets while other VPN apps are running
* Log and examine the connections made by user and system apps
* Extract the SNI, DNS query, HTTP request, HTTP URL and the remote IP address
* Create rules to filter out the good traffic and easily spot anomalies
* Dump the traffic into a PCAP file, download it from a browser, or stream it to a remote receiver for real time analysis (e.g. wireshark)
* Use the app in combination with mitmproxy to decrypt HTTPS/TLS traffic (technical knowledge required)
* On rooted devices, capture the traffic while other VPN apps are running
<b>Important</b>: the PCAP generated by PCAPdroid is not 100% accurate. Check out <a href='https://emanuele-f.github.io/PCAPdroid/quick_start#14-pcap-reliability'>PCAP Reliability</a> for more details.
PCAPdroid leverages the Android VpnService to receive all the traffic generated by the Android apps. No external VPN is actually created, the traffic is locally processed by the app.
If you plan to use PCAPdroid to perform packet analysis, please check out <a href='https://emanuele-f.github.io/PCAPdroid/quick_start#14-packet-analysis'>the specific section</a> of the manual.
