ProfiShark 1G+

Innovative and Easy to Use Gigabit Ethernet TAP

ProfiShark 1G+ is designed for high fidelity network traffic capture, with advanced timestamping capabilities. It is a portable network TAP, with additional GPS/GLONASS input for UTC timestamping, and PPS input/output for timestamp synchronization.

ProfiShark 1G+ is non-intrusive, undetectable by the network, and leaves the original traffic unaltered. This helps you capture network data without impacting the security or performance of the network. Powered by USB 3.0, ProfiShark 1G+ captures high fidelity network traffic, with high resolution hardware timestamping, and packets of all sizes and types. The packets can in turn be analyzed with Wireshark or any network analyzer, where ProfiShark’s hardware filtering capabilities save you time and disk space.

The ProfiShark series also 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.

Get transparent and non-intrusive access

Capture network data without impacting security or performance. The ProfiShark and host PC will not show up as a node on the network. Network connection is maintained, even when power to the ProfiShark is disconnected. ProfiShark is set up to passthrough PoE.

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 1G+ provides hardware timestamping with 8 ns resolution, and advanced GPS/PPS timestamping features.

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 all bytes, with high resolution timestamping, regardless of packet rate.

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.

  • USB 3.0 powered
  • Non-intrusive, fail-safe monitoring
  • Hardware aggregation
  • SPAN and In-Line modes
  • 8ns hardware timestamp at ingress
  • GNSS (GPS/GLONASS) UTC timestamping
  • PPS synchronization (input/output)
  • Real time statistics
  • Low level error and bandwidth monitoring
  • Direct capture to disk
  • Invisible to the network
  • PoE passthrough
  • Full-duplex GbE (2 Gbit/s) capture, timestamping, and aggregation at wire speed
  • Compatible with all software packet analyzers

Deploy in-line or out-of-band

ProfiShark 1G+ can be configured in either in-line mode, or out-of-band. In-line mode is fail-safe, with PoE passthrough, while out-of-band allows the monitoring of 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.
