For all the devices, PCAPdroid exposes an API to control the packet capture and send the captured packets via UDP to your app. For rooted devices, the pcapd daemon can be directly integrated into your APK to capture network packets. Some features of PCAPdroid can be integrated into a third-party app to provide packet capture capabilities. Join the international PCAPdroid community on telegram or on matrix.
