This wiki tracks known implementations of pcapng.
| Application | Language | Read | Write | Default | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wireshark | C | Yes | Yes | Yes (since 1.8) | Also includes tshark, mergecap, reordercap, editcap, capinfos |
| NetworkMiner | .NET | Yes | ? | ? | -- |
| Tracewrangler | Delphi | Yes | Yes | Yes | File size for reading files is limited to 2GB at the moment |
| CommView and CommView for WiFi | ? | Yes | Yes | No | -- |
| CloudShark | -- | Yes | Yes | Yes | Exports as pcapng |
| pcapfix | C | Yes | Yes | Yes | writes pcapng when input file is pcapng; otherwise pcapng can be forced with a parameter |
| Corelatus GTH | C, Erlang | No | Yes | Yes | -- |
| NetworkMiner | Unknown | Yes | Unknown | Unknown | -- |
| CapLoader | MS .NET | Yes | Yes | Unknown | -- |
| pcapng.com | N/A | Yes | N/A | Yes | A web page to convert pcapng to pcap |
| thongs | C | No | Yes | Yes | -- |
| tcpdump | C | Yes | No | No | Uses libpcap to read pcapng, so support depends on libpcap support; currently, the libpcap API doesn't include explicit pcapng support, so only pcapng files in which all interfaces have the same link-layer type and snapshot length can be read, and all information that doesn't fit in a pcap file is discarded |
| Apple's tcpdump | C | Yes | Yes | No | Apple's variant of tcpdump, using their variant of libpcap, which includes APSL-licensed code, and provides (undocumented and unsupported) pcapng APIs, which tcpdump uses, so it's more capable than standard tcpdump with standard libpcap |
| tcpreplay | C | Yes | No | No | Uses libpcap to read pcapng, so support depends on libpcap support |
| pktdump | Perl | Yes | No | -- | |
| scapy | Python3 | Yes | No | Yes | -- |
| OmniPeek | Unknown | Yes | Yes | Unknown | -- |
| hcxdumptool | C | Yes | Yes | Yes (since 4.2.0) | penetration testing tool |
| hcxpcapngtool | C | Yes | No | Yes (since 6.0.0) | conversion to formats hashcat and JtR understand |
