WireEdit

The Desktop Word Packet Processor

A Desktop Word Packet Processor
If you can decode it, you can edit it

WireEdit allows WYSIWYG editing of Pcap data in situ for any network stack at any stack layer while preserving the binary integrity of the data. Data editing is done in a break-proof manner with the lengths, checksums, offsets, and other inter and intra-packet dependencies recalculated on-the-fly for all affected packets and protocol layers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between WireEdit and other packet editing tools?

One could think of WireEdit as a Microsoft Word™ for captured network data. All other packet editing tools are very limited in their ability to edit binary encoded stack layers above TCP/UDP without breaking packets' integrity. WireEdit is a *full-stack* packet editor by design. It doesn't break packets' integrity at any layer.

Can I edit stack layer X at the network stack Y?

Short answer: By design if you can dissect X at Y, you can edit X at Y.

Install the latest WireEdit. No license is required. If you can't decode (dissect) the networking layer/stack of interest, let us know and we'll fix it. We can support any stack.
