Trusted

Portable and Reliable Flow Capture

The ProfiShark series is part of the Profitap family of portable and compact troubleshooters, specialized network TAPs for network monitoring, traffic acquisition and analysis.

ProfiShark helps network engineers to easily access the network and capture each individual packet with the correct timestamp. This results in high-quality data that can be used for network analysis in packet analyzer software such as Wireshark, or saved directly to disk for later analysis.

A quick look at the packet hierarchy

PROFISHARK enables complete data capture in a portable form. This means you can quickly deploy anywhere and capture the traffic data you need without disrupting your production network.

Get tracking documents you can trust

To help optimize your analytical workflow and reduce disk storage consumption, PROFISHARK offers packet slicing to ensure you get only actionable data.

Get transparent and non-intrusive access

Capture network data without compromising security or performance. The PROFISHARK and host PC will not appear as nodes on the network. The network connection will be maintained even if the power of PROFISHARK is interrupted. PROFISHARK is configured to operate over POE.

Get the desired timestamp accuracy

Accurate timestamps are essential for analyzing performance metrics such as TCP, TCP stream throughput, latency and jitter. PROFISHARK offers models with hardware timestamps as low as 5NS and + models with advanced GPS/PPS timestamping capabilities.

Direct setup and management


Place PROFISHARK in the line of packets to be analyzed and use the PROFISHARK MANAGER GUI to control hardware and packet capture settings.

 

Capture high fidelity network traffic


Captures all bytes from layer 1 to layer 7 with high quality timestamps regardless of packet rate.

 

Offers a wide range of traffic volume options


Capture directly to disk without external software, use WIRESHARK or other packet analyzers for real-time capture, or on a NAS for long-term traffic capture.

 

Extensive operating system support


PROFISHARK is supported by all major operating system options on the market today: LINUX, WINDOWS and MACOS.

Online deployment or out-of-band deployment


All PROFISHARK models can be configured in tandem mode or out-of-band to monitor traffic from SPAN/mirror ports or external TAPs.

 

Compatible with many protocol analyzers


PROFISHARK is typically used in conjunction with WIRESHARK for protocol analysis, but can be used in conjunction with most flow analyzers.

 

Physical isolation


The monitored network is physically isolated (diode) from the management interface to avoid any risk of attack via device injection or MITM.

 

Flexible power options


PROFISHARK can be powered via USB 3-port or 5V DC input.
