WireDistinct is a streamlined Python tool that transforms verbose Wireshark packet captures into concise CSV reports, showing only distinct network communication patterns. Perfect for network analysts who need a quick overview of unique traffic patterns without the noise of repeated packets.
Turns this:
Thousands of packet captures with redundant information...
Into this:
Source IP | Destination IP | Protocol | Length | Info

10.0.0.1 | 192.168.1.1 | TCP | 64 | SYN
...
- Deduplication: Automatically removes redundant packet combinations
- Smart Filtering: Extracts essential network metadata
- Fast Processing: Efficiently handles large PCAP files
- Clean Output: Generates analysis-ready CSV reports
- Install dependencies:
pip install pyshark pandas- Run the script:
python wiredistinct.py- Find your cleaned data in
distinct_combinations_pcap.csv
The generated CSV includes these key fields from wireshark:
- Source IP Address
- Destination IP Address
- Protocol Type
- Packet Length
- Additional Packet Information
- Python 3.x
- pyshark
- pandas
- Wireshark installed on your system
Update the PCAP file path in the script:
pcap_file = "path/to/your/wireshark/capture.pcapng"MIT License - feel free to use in your projects!
