ngrep is an open-source network packet analyzer that allows users to inspect network traffic based on specified criteria. Developed by Jordan Ritter, ngrep provides a simple yet powerful way to filter and analyze network packets in real time.

With ngrep, users can capture and display network traffic that matches a specified regex pattern. This makes it a valuable tool for troubleshooting network issues, monitoring network activity, and analyzing protocols. Whether you are a network administrator, developer, or security professional, ngrep provides the functionality needed to inspect packets on the fly.

One of the key features of ngrep is its ability to read pcap capture files for offline analysis. This allows users to conduct in-depth investigations by replaying captured network traffic and applying filters to focus on specific data of interest.

ngrep offers a command-line interface, making it well-suited for use in scripts and automated tasks. Users can specify complex filtering rules to extract exactly the information they need from network packets. This flexibility sets ngrep apart as a versatile tool for network analysis.

Whether you are debugging network applications, monitoring traffic for security purposes, or simply analyzing protocols, ngrep provides a lightweight yet robust solution for capturing and examining network packets. Its ease of use and powerful filtering capabilities make it a valuable addition to any network administrator's toolbox.
