PCAPdroid
PCAPdroid is a privacy-friendly app which lets you track and analyze the connections made by the other apps in your device. It also allows you to export a PCAP dump of the traffic, inspect HTTP, decrypt TLS traffic and much more. PCAPdroid simulates a VPN in order to capture the network traffic without root. It does not use a remote VPN server, instead data is processed locally on the device. Features: * Log and examine the connections made by user and system apps * Extract the SNI, DNS query, HTTP URL and the remote IP address * Inspect HTTP requests and replies thanks to the built-in decoders * Inspect the full connections payload as hexdump/text * Decrypt the HTTPS/TLS traffic and export the SSLKEYLOGFILE * Dump the traffic to a PCAP file, download it from a browser, or stream it to a remote receiver for real-time analysis (e.g. Wireshark) * Create rules to filter out the good traffic and easily spot anomalies * Identify the country and ASN of remote server via offline DB lookups * On rooted devices, capture the traffic while other VPN apps are running If you plan to use PCAPdroid to perform packet analysis, please check out the specific section of the manual.
