Overview

The Cascoda Packet Sniffer is a tool for capturing IEEE 802.15.4 traffic, used by Thread, KNX-IoT, Zigbee and more. It is ideal for analyzing network problems, learning about IoT protocols and debugging IoT applications. Thanks to our industry leading receive sensitivity, even the faintest packets can be captured, ensuring an accurate picture of the behaviour of the network.

The Packet Sniffer works with Wireshark, the world’s most popular network analyzer, and can be used with existing Wireshark installations.
