Full Packet Capture (PCAP) Datasheet

Capture Every Packet. Reconstruct Every Attack. Eliminate Blind Spots at Petabyte Scale.

Alerts show the signal, but packets reveal the story. As modern attacks move across encrypted, east-west, and hybrid traffic, security teams need complete network evidence.

Vehere Full Packet Capture (PCAP) continuously captures, indexes, and preserves packet-level data at terabit speeds and petabyte scale, enabling teams to quickly search, reconstruct, investigate, and hunt across historical traffic. With full session visibility and Encrypted Traffic Intelligence (ETI), Vehere helps SOC teams understand what happened, how it happened, and what followed, all without decrypting payloads.

Full Packet Capture Features

Line-Rate Full Packet Capture
Continuous, lossless packet acquisition across high-throughput networks for complete network visibility.
Decode and inspect network traffic across protocols including DNS, TLS, SMB, HTTP/2, SSH, and VoIP.
Analyze encrypted traffic using TLS fingerprints, JA3/JA3S, certificate telemetry, and behavioral analysis without decrypting payloads.
Extract files and objects directly from captured network traffic for deeper investigation.
Search historical packet captures and flow telemetry to investigate previously unseen or emerging threats.
Enable ultra-fast packet indexing, search, and retrieval across large-scale network traffic.
Perform real-time threat detection using signature-based inspection of network traffic.
Reconstruct complete communication sessions and correlate East-West and North-South traffic flows to understand attacker activity.
Investigate threats using IP addresses, domains, hashes, JA3/JA3S fingerprints, and other network indicators of compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Full Packet Capture (PCAP)?
Full Packet Capture (PCAP) is the continuous recording of network packets, preserving complete network communications for investigation, threat hunting, forensic analysis, and compliance.

Event-based packet capture records traffic only after predefined events or alerts occur. Full Packet Capture continuously records network traffic, enabling investigators to reconstruct events, validate alerts, and perform retrospective analysis using historical packet data.

Not all packet capture solutions provide the same level of visibility. While event-based packet capture records traffic only after predefined events or alerts are triggered, continuous packet capture preserves a complete record of network activity. This enables security teams to reconstruct attack timelines, validate alerts, investigate historical incidents, and perform retrospective threat hunting with greater confidence.
Vehere supports deep packet inspection across Layer 2 to Layer 7 and provides protocol decoding for protocols such as HTTP(S), DNS, FTP, SMB, VoIP, Email, and others, as specified in the datasheet.
Yes. Vehere includes Encrypted Traffic Intelligence (ETI), which analyzes encrypted traffic using metadata such as JA3/JA3S fingerprints, SNI, TLS versions, cipher suites, certificate information, and behavioral indicators without relying on payload decryption.
Yes. Vehere supports retrospective investigation by enabling searches across previously captured network traffic and using indicators of compromise (IOCs) to identify historical malicious activity.

Vehere supports deployment in physical, virtual (VM), and cloud environments, with centralized management and distributed probes for enterprise-scale deployments.

Vehere integrates with SIEM platforms, SOAR platforms, ticketing systems, REST APIs, and STIX/TAXII-compatible threat intelligence services, as detailed in the Integrations section of the datasheet.
