Self-hosted PCAP analysis documentation

A-Packets is a self-hosted PCAP analysis platform for network forensics and DFIR: it reconstructs HTTP sessions, DNS activity, credentials and transferred files from packet captures inside your own network. These guides cover on-premise installation with Docker Compose, Kubernetes and Helm, or an air-gapped package, and verifying the release delivered to your organization.
