A Go library for packet decoding, capture, and network traffic analysis.
What is gopacket?
GoPacket is a Go library that provides packet decoding, capture, and analysis capabilities for network traffic. It allows developers to parse raw network packets, decode various protocols, and build tools for network monitoring, security, or debugging. The library interfaces with libpcap/WinPcap for live packet capture and supports extensible protocol layers.
Go developers building network monitoring tools, security applications, protocol analyzers, or any software requiring low-level packet inspection and manipulation.
Developers choose GoPacket for its comprehensive protocol support, high performance, and seamless integration with Go's ecosystem, offering a native Go alternative to C-based packet processing libraries with easier deployment and maintenance.
