# Pcap

## Pcap

- [Introduction](https://pcap.ardikars.com/master.md): Pcap provides a packet processing library for rapid development on top of JVM languages.
- [Getting Started](https://pcap.ardikars.com/getting-started.md)
- [Dependency management](https://pcap.ardikars.com/getting-started/dependency-management.md): Pcap dependency management.
- [Installing Libpcap or Npcap](https://pcap.ardikars.com/getting-started/installing-libpcap-or-npcap.md): Installing required third party software.
- [Run as non root user](https://pcap.ardikars.com/getting-started/run-as-non-root.md): Operating System might require the root user to perform some operation.
- [Logging](https://pcap.ardikars.com/getting-started/logging.md): Logging
- [Obtaining the device list](https://pcap.ardikars.com/getting-started/obtaining-the-device-list.md): The following code retrieves the list of network interfaces that can be opened with Pcap.live(Interface, LiveOptions()).
- [Opening an adapter and capturing the packets](https://pcap.ardikars.com/getting-started/opening-an-adapter-and-capturing-the-packets.md): Obtain a packet capture handle (Pcap) with a specific network interface (adapter) to look at packets on the network and process it with Pcap.loop(int, PacketHandler, T args).
- [Capturing the packets without the callback](https://pcap.ardikars.com/getting-started/capturing-the-packets-without-the-callback.md): Handling a callback is sometimes not practical, it often makes the program more complex. So we need an alternative method to capture the packets without a callback.
- [Capture statistics](https://pcap.ardikars.com/getting-started/capture-statistics.md): Getting statistics about packets received and dropped in a live capture.
- [Filtering the traffic](https://pcap.ardikars.com/getting-started/filtering-the-traffic.md): In order to cause only certain packets to be returned when reading packets, a filter can be set on a pcap handle.
- [Write the packets to a capture file](https://pcap.ardikars.com/getting-started/write-the-packets-to-a-capture-file.md): Capture the packets and write them to a capture file.
- [Read packets from a capture file.](https://pcap.ardikars.com/getting-started/read-packet-from-a-capture-file.md): Read packets from the capture file that was created from the previous section.
- [Sending packets](https://pcap.ardikars.com/getting-started/sending-packets.md): Send a hand-crafted packet to the network.
- [I/O Multiplexing](https://pcap.ardikars.com/getting-started/i-o-multiplexing.md): Capturing on multiple interfaces with single thread.
