ProfiShark 10G

Full Visibility into 1G/10G Copper and Fiber Networks

ProfiShark 10G is a powerful, versatile portable network TAP. It is designed to enable field engineers to quickly get in the path of network packets and capture high fidelity traffic data for monitoring purposes, as well as long-term traffic collection.

ProfiShark 10G accepts 1G fiber, 10G fiber, 1G copper, and 10G copper SFPs, bringing the ease of use and performance of the ProfiShark design to new heights. Powered by USB 3.0, the ProfiShark 10G captures network traffic — packets of all sizes and types — with high resolution hardware timestamping. The packets can in turn be analyzed with Wireshark or any network analyzer. To streamline the analysis process and save storage space, hardware filters help you capture only the data you need.

The ProfiShark series includes other essential features, such as packet slicing, statistics, configuration options, and high-performance capture to disk, through our own ProfiShark Manager application.

Reliable Traffic Capture in a Portable Package

Complete visibility of your entire network anytime, anywhere

ProfiSharks are portable traffic capture devices that provide quick packet-level insight anywhere they are deployed. With capture regardless of packet rate and high quality hardware timestamping, ProfiShark delivers high fidelity capture files, forming an ideal starting point for troubleshooting or network forensics. Designed for easy, non-intrusive traffic capture, ProfiShark offers a valuable improvement over less performant options, such as SPAN ports on a switch or direct capture on a laptop. They give reliable insight into the network, ensuring the quality of analysis, and optimizing workflow, without dropping any packets.

Connected via USB to a host PC or laptop, in-line or out-of-band traffic can be forwarded directly to packet analyzer software, like Wireshark, or stored to disk. To ensure optimum network protection, the monitored network is physically separated from the management interface. The capture control and hardware settings can be managed via the included ProfiShark Manager application.

Quickly get packet-level insight

ProfiShark enables complete data capture in a portable form factor. This means you can deploy rapidly anywhere, and capture the traffic data you need, with no performance impact on your production network.

Get trace files you can rely on

To help optimize your analysis workflow and consume less disk storage, ProfiShark offers packet slicing capabilities, making sure you only get actionable data.

Configurable hardware features

Slicing and filters (packet type, MAC, IP, protocol, ports, and string matching) are hardware features, operating at wire speed (20 Gbps) regardless of packet rate.

Get the timestamp resolution you need

High resolution timestamping is essential for the analysis of performance metrics like TCP flow throughput, delay, and jitter. ProfiShark offers models with up to 5 ns resolution hardware timestamping, and advanced GPS/PPS timestamping features on the + models.

Straightforward setup and management

Place ProfiShark in the line of the packets you want to analyze and use the ProfiShark Manager GUI to control hardware and packet capture settings.

Capture high fidelity network traffic

Capture traffic data with high resolution timestamping, regardless of packet load. This data is captured with no effect on traffic stack. Monitoring can be done on copper or fiber networks.

Multiple traffic capture options available

Direct capture to disk without the need for external software, live capture with Wireshark or other packet analyzer, or long-term traffic capture on a NAS.

Wide OS support

ProfiShark is supported on the main OS choices on the market today: Linux, Windows, and macOS.

Features
  • 1G/10G monitoring on USB 3.0
  • 1G, 10G, copper and fiber SFPs compatible
  • USB 3.0 powered
  • Hardware aggregation
  • SPAN and In-Line modes
  • Hardware filtering, deep packet inspection
  • Packet slicing
  • 5 ns hardware timestamp at ingress
  • Customizable real-time statistics
  • In-depth network port diagnostics
  • Low level error and bandwidth monitoring
  • Direct capture to disk
  • Invisible to the network

Deploy in-line or out-of-band

ProfiShark 10G can be configured in either in-line mode, or out-of-band, monitoring traffic from SPAN/mirror ports or external TAPs.

Compatible with many protocol analyzers

ProfiShark is often used in combination with Wireshark for protocol analysis, and can also be combined with any other traffic analyzer.

Physical isolation

The monitored network is physically isolated from the management interface, to avoid any risk of injection or MITM attack through the device.

Flexible powering options

ProfiShark can be powered from a USB 3.0 port, or a 5 VDC input.
