flowsynth
A network packet capture compiler for rapidly modeling and generating network traffic in hexdump or libpcap format.
What is flowsynth?
Flowsynth is a network packet capture compiler that translates high-level flow descriptions into actual packet captures. It allows users to model network traffic using a custom syntax language, automating protocol details like TCP handshakes and generating output in hexdump or libpcap formats. This tool solves the problem of manually crafting packet captures for testing, simulation, or analysis purposes.
Network engineers, security researchers, and developers who need to generate or simulate network traffic for testing, analysis, or educational scenarios.
Developers choose Flowsynth for its ability to rapidly model complex network interactions with a simple syntax, automating tedious protocol calculations and supporting multiple output formats. Its unique selling point is the compilation approach, turning abstract flow descriptions into ready-to-use packet captures.
