Technical Specifications
PROFISHARK 100M HELPS YOU:
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 100M provides hardware timestamping with 8 ns resolution.
HOW IT WORKS:
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.
TECHNICAL DETAILS:
DEPLOY IN-LINE
ProfiShark 100M provides a passive in-line connection to the network, with PoE passthrough, making it fail-safe by design.
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.
Long-Term Traffic Capture
ProfiShark long-term capture solution is designed with flexibility in mind. Combined with a NAS for storage tailored to your specific needs, the long-term capture feature makes it easy to catch intermittent problems in the act.
Benefits:
- Ringbuffer or normal capture mode
- Split capture to different files, based on time or size
- Compatible with all Intel based Synology NAS systems
