Intro
TraceExtra.net is designed to offer visual tracing and annotation capabilities that make basic network analysis tasks simple, intuitive, and efficient, enabling easier information exchange and insight extraction. The platform emphasizes user-friendly interaction while maintaining the flexibility needed for more complex analytical workflows. Future versions of the solution will incorporate deep analysis, automated reasoning, knowledge extraction, and advanced visualization techniques to unlock richer and more intelligent insights.
Supported Protocols
Ethernet
IPv4
UDP
TCP
HTTP
TLS
DNS
SIP
RTP
RTCP
- Filter packets with Wireshark syntax and reuse presets from the history panel.
- Pin nodes to compare key hosts and annotate the canvas with sticky notes for collaborative triage.
Origin
TraceExtra.net is a research initiative led by Renat Gilmanov, aiming to demonstrate that complex, user-oriented solutions can be developed rapidly when supported by domain-specific knowledge and expertise. The project focuses on creating a next-generation visual network analysis tool designed to deliver real practical value, even in its early experimental stages. It serves as both a proof of concept and a foundation for further innovation in intelligent data analysis and visualization.
Additional Notes
For demo purposes, this app includes a sample SIP call with RTP in G.711 from the Wireshark Wiki sample captures.
The application code is planned to be published under the GPLv3 license.
Filter Syntax Tips
Use Wireshark-compatible display filters. Examples:
ip.addr == 10.0.0.5 and tcp.port == 443dns or sip || rtp || rtcptcp.flags.syn == 1 (only SYN packets)
Start typing in the filter bar for inline suggestions and use the Filters tab to reuse history.
