Kestrel Lite
Field triage and learning with the first 50,000 packets of a capture. Dashboard, packets, flows, hosts, DNS, streams, timeline, and audit logging are included.
Native tools for opening and analyzing PCAP and PCAPNG captures away from a workstation. Lite and Sight ship today. Pro is in development. Analysis is processed on-device. No Tracivex account, no cloud-analysis service, no analytics, and no third-party runtime dependencies.
Kestrel turns pre-captured network traffic into packets, conversations, hosts, DNS activity, TCP streams, timelines, and reports without sending the capture to a Tracivex service.

Removes the Lite packet cap and adds analyst bookmarks, raw payload text search, enhanced IPv6 display, and refined PDF reporting.
Current Lite/Sight large-capture behavior and hashing limitations are documented on the Kestrel and support pages rather than hidden behind a generic “unlimited” claim.
Development work is shown separately from shipping software so the roadmap never reads like a release lineup.
Advanced detection, sensitive-data scanning, file carving, and tamper-evident session reporting. The development branch also carries newer core revisions for flow identity, reconstruction, link-layer handling, and evidence processing.
The privacy position is expressed as observable application behavior, not as a list of abstract values.
Site status for August 2026. Dates stay visible so “shipping” and “building” do not become timeless labels.
