ProfiShark 1G Portable Network TAP

ProfiShark 1G is a lightweight, easy-to-use portable network monitoring and data logging tool designed for 1Gbps network environments. The device supports hardware timestamping down to 8ns, capturing complete network traffic and error packets without changing the network architecture.ProfiShark 1G is USB-powered and can be connected to a laptop or NAS, making it ideal for field testing and long-term monitoring needs. Its powerful filtering and slicing capabilities help users quickly locate network problems and generate high-quality PCAP files for use with Wireshark or other analysis software, making it ideal for network engineers to diagnose and troubleshoot problems.

Complete traffic profile: Supports 1Gbps bi-directional traffic capture with no packet misses or drops.
Hardware time stamp: Accurate to 8ns for delay measurement and network performance analysis.
Non-intrusive monitoring: Through-the-wall deployment with no changes or interruptions to the network environment.
Portability and ease of use: Compact size, USB powered, plug and play.

Profitap IOTA
Portable Network Logger and Traffic Analyzer

Profitap IOTA is a lightweight, versatile network monitoring tool designed for industrial and enterprise networks. Combining traffic logging and network analysis, IOTA enables accurate traffic capture, metadata extraction and real-time monitoring. IOTA can be deployed as a dedicated network probe in a decentralized manner without the need for on-site network administrators to maintain it, or it can be used to analyze and locate problems on its own in the field. Equipped with dedicated analysis software, IOTA provides intuitive data visualization and fast filtering to significantly improve problem identification and reduce the risk of system downtime, and is PoE-powered with built-in high-capacity storage, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Accurate traffic profiling and metadata extraction: Realize efficient data analysis and troubleshooting.
Non-intrusive monitoring design: Ensure that network operation is not affected.
Real-time data visualization: Dashboards support fast filtration and efficient analysis.
Flexible deployment and management: Supports remote access and adapts to a variety of network environments.

Functions

Profishark is here to help you:

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 files 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.ProfiShark and host PC will not appear as nodes on the network. The network connection will be maintained even if the ProfiShark's power is disconnected.ProfiShark is set to pass-through PoE.

Obtain the desired timestamping accuracy

Accurate timestamping is critical for analyzing performance metrics such as TCP, TCP stream throughput, latency and jitter, and the ProfiShark 100M provides hardware timestamping with 8ns accuracy.

How to set up and manage

Place ProfiShark in the row 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 options

Start capturing to tiles directly without external software, instant capture in Wireshark, long term traffic capture on NAS.

Extensive Operating System Support

ProfiShark is supported on all major operating system options on the market today: Linux, Windows and macOS.

Technical Details: Online or Out-of-Band Deployment

All ProfiShark models can be configured in inline mode or out-of-band to monitor traffic from SPAN/mirror ports or external TAPs.The ProfiShark 100M has a passive connection to the network via PoE pass-through. By design, this makes it fail-safe.

Compatible with many protocol analyzers

ProfiShark is typically used in conjunction with Wireshark for protocol analysis, but can be used in conjunction with most traffic analyzers.

Physical isolation

The monitored network is physically isolated (diode) from the host to avoid any risk of injection or MITM attacks through the device.

Flexible power options

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