Simple Installation

After a quick and smooth installation, you can jump right into using the software. It has a user-friendly interface, so you won't have to mess around with tricky command line stuff to get things done.

User-Friendly Interface

The main window of Cat Karat Packet Builder has several panels where you can see all your available interfaces, streams, and packet flows. There's also a handy ‘Protocol View’ that lets you browse through everything easily.

Create or Open PCAP Files

You can create new PCAP data packets or open existing ones in just a few clicks. Editing packets is simple too—just add bytes or lines as needed! Plus, the ‘Packet Capture Tool’ is great for sending packets to your target network and analyzing them afterward.

Run Scripts & Custom Protocols

If you're feeling ambitious, you can load and run automated scripts or custom protocols. In the ‘Packet Flow’ section, clicking on different elements lets you change how packets travel, supporting both ‘IP4/IP6’ and ‘IP6/IP4’!

Tweak Your Settings

You can also work with options like ‘Fast MAC and VLAN Increment,’ as well as settings for allowing truncated packets or jumbo frames. Once you've got everything set up just right, hit 'Start Transmit' to analyze your transfers. Just remember that this tool really impacts traffic since that's its main purpose!

Who Is It For?

The user-friendly GUI makes Cat Karat Packet Builder approachable, but it does require some solid knowledge of network protocols to use effectively. So, it's best suited for professionals looking to test and troubleshoot firewalls or other network issues.
