Component List

DropTap

The DropTap is a Raspberry Pi 3 with a USB network dongle which will bridge a connection between a device and its end point

Sub-component 1.1 Network cable attached to DropTap and source

This network cable will provide a medium between the DropTap and the network device

Sub-component 1.2 Network cable attached to DropTap and original input

This network cable will provide a medium between the DropTap and the original connection input the previous network device was connected to

Interface Design Concept

Component List

Component 2 Packet capture

Packet capture interface

Sub-component 2.1 Packet Capture Text

Packet capture interface will show how many packets have been captured so far since the DropTap, the capture will reset after a set amount of packets have been reached (1,000 in this example)

Sub-component 2.2 Packet Capture bar

Packet Capture interface will show a progress bar which will live update so that the user can visually see packets pass through the DropTap device

Component 3 network tools

DropTap basic network tools

Sub-component 3.1 Tracert tool

Basic network tools will include Tracert command which will then auto populate results into image field above once path is complete. The user can set the desired address which the program would then execute

Sub-component 3.2 Ping tool

Basic network tools will include the Ping command which will then auto populate ping results into image field above once path is complete. The user can set the desired address which the program would then execute

Component 4 Packet Capture list

Packet Capture list

Sub-component 4.1 Packet capture Source

The Packet capture list will include a live result of packets based on source IP

Sub-component 4.2 Packet capture Destination

The Packet capture list will include a live result of packets based on destination IP

Sub-component 4.3 Packet capture Received

The Packet capture list will include a live result of what basic packets have been received
