PCAP files are the gold standard of network forensics — full packet captures that preserve complete network conversations, including payloads. Unlike flow records or connection logs, PCAPs capture everything: every byte transmitted, every protocol exchange, every payload. This makes them invaluable for deep-dive investigations into data exfiltration (T1041), command-and-control traffic (T1071), and lateral movement. Capture methods include tcpdump on Linux/Unix systems, Wireshark for targeted collection, or enterprise-grade network taps and SPAN port configurations. Analysis tools range from Wireshark and tshark for manual inspection to NetworkMiner for automated artifact extraction and Zeek for converting PCAPs into structured logs. PCAPs enable file carving from network streams, credential harvesting from cleartext protocols (FTP, HTTP Basic Auth, Telnet), malware payload extraction, and full reconstruction of attacker C2 sessions. You can literally replay what happened on the wire. The tradeoff: storage. A 1 Gbps link generates approximately 450 GB of uncompressed PCAP data per hour. Plan your retention strategy accordingly — many orgs capture selectively at chokepoints or use triggered capture during incidents. When logs fail you, PCAPs tell the truth. #DFIR #NetworkForensics
