PacketSafari

PacketSafari anoncap

Share packet evidence. Keep identifiers private.

Create a safer sibling PCAP for AI, escalation, and customer review. The original remains untouched.

Packet meaning remains: tunnel, addresses, transport, method, and path stay inspectable where supported.

Exposure is reduced: identifiers are replaced and payload handling follows the selected policy.

what changed.

Drag across one decoded packet. The left side shows the original evidence; the right shows the anonymized sibling. Switch cases only when you need another protocol or policy.

Public-share output

Before public-share

A tunneled request still carries customer addresses, hostnames, and application payload bytes.

After public-share

Identifiers are deterministically replaced and supported headers remain readable while unsupported payload is truncated.

Run locally. Scale privately.

Use the PacketSafari Anonymizer app or the open-source CLI to create a local anonymized sibling capture, or evaluate PacketSafari's private profile when production captures need broader protocol tuning, managed workflow, and customer-controlled deployment.

PacketSafari Anonymizer app

Open a capture, choose network or application evidence, and save an anonymized copy. The replacement map stays on your machine, so you can translate an AI assistant's answer back to the real names and addresses.

Checksums

PacketSafari Anonymizer on macOS: drop capture files, choose network or application evidence, and anonymize locally
Command-line engine

Quick usage

Default public-share command

Create a local sibling capture with the public sharing baseline.

./bin/anoncap --public-share input.pcapng
./bin/anoncap --explain-defaults
./bin/anoncap --paranoid input.pcapng --report anon.report.json

`--public-share` writes `input-anon.pcapng` by default. Add `-w output.pcapng` to choose a name, or `--overwrite` to replace an existing output.

Detailed usage

Enterprise anonymization

Keep the capture useful.
Keep identifiers out.

Extend the open-source baseline with PacketSafari-maintained profiles for sensitive production and telecom captures.

Compare deployment options
Review protocol coverage

Technical depth

Check coverage before you share.

Protocol, payload, and policy determine what can be preserved safely. These references describe the current boundary.
