Network Captures Library

Network capture library illustration

Explore our curated collection of real-world packet captures designed to illustrate key networking concepts, protocols, and anomalies. From DNS queries to TCP errors and security events, each capture is hand-picked to support learning, troubleshooting, and deep analysis.

🔄 This library is updated regularly — new captures are added over time to reflect key concepts, attack patterns, and diagnostic scenarios.
Perfect for network engineers, students, and curious explorers alike.

TCP Examples

TCP simple session

A simple example showing a TCP flow with handshake, data transfer and closing.

TCP Retransmission & Reset

Capture includes out-of-order packets, retransmits, and fast retransmission.

TCP Zero Window

TCP Zero Window is a condition where the receiving device tells the sender to pause sending data because its buffer is full.

DNS Examples

Basic DNS Query

Standard A record request and response using UDP port 53.

Errors

Examples of DNS errors.

DNSSEC

DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) is a security protocol that protects the DNS (Domain Name System) from attacks like spoofing or cache poisoning.

TLS Examples

TLS Handshake

Handshake including ServerHello, Certificate, and key exchange.

TLS Errors

Example of TLS errors.
