TigerShark - A Python Wrapper for TShark

TigerShark is a Python script that provides a user-friendly interface for interacting with TShark, a network protocol analyzer. It allows you to perform various network analysis tasks, view statistics, and extract information from packet capture (PCAP) files. TigerShark simplifies the use of TShark's command-line capabilities and provides an easy-to-use menu-driven interface.
