What is packetpig?
Packetpig is an open-source big data security analytics tool that analyzes network packet capture (pcap) files using Apache Pig. It processes raw network traffic data to extract security insights, such as intrusion alerts, conversation patterns, and operating system fingerprints, enabling scalable analysis of large datasets. The tool transforms complex packet data into structured formats suitable for further analysis and visualization.
Security analysts, network researchers, and data engineers who need to analyze large volumes of network packet data for threat detection, forensic investigations, or traffic analysis.
Developers choose Packetpig because it integrates seamlessly with Hadoop ecosystems, provides pre-built loaders for tools like Snort and p0f, and offers rich visualizations for exploring security data. Its open-source nature and support for both local and cluster deployments make it a flexible alternative to proprietary security analytics platforms.
