USB Sniffer (LS/FS/HS) with Wireshark interface
149,00 € (ex. VAT)
Overview
A cost-effective USB protocol sniffer for low-speed (LS), full-speed (FS), and high-speed (HS) USB devices. It integrates seamlessly with Wireshark to capture, decode, and record USB bus traffic into standard PCAPNG format.
This product is based on the open-source USB Sniffer project originally designed and published by Alex Taradov. The version offered here is independently manufactured, validated, and sold by 3mdeb based on the upstream design.

Description
The USB Sniffer is a compact hardware and software solution designed for engineers, firmware developers, and hardware designers who need visibility into USB data streams.
At its core, the design uses a Cypress CY7C68013A microcontroller, a Lattice LCMXO2 FPGA, and a Microchip USB3343 PHY.
The device supports low speed (LS), full speed (FS), and high speed (HS) USB traffic and integrates with Wireshark for packet capture and analysis.
Key features
- Supports LS, FS, and HS USB device traffic.
- Captures USB packets and exports them in PCAPNG format for analysis in Wireshark.
- Can be used as a standalone command line tool or as a Wireshark extcap plugin.
- Open source hardware design with Gerber files, enclosure STL files, firmware, FPGA sources, and host software available publicly.
- Host software supports both Windows and Linux.
- Linux users can configure Udev rules for convenient device access.
Use cases
The USB Sniffer is well suited for:
- USB device firmware debugging
- USB protocol analysis
- Analyzing USB class behavior
- Reverse engineering USB device communication
- Hardware and firmware development
- Validation and troubleshooting of USB devices
- Capturing USB traffic for analysis in Wireshark
Why choose this over standard hardware?
By combining low cost components with open source hardware and software, the USB Sniffer provides an accessible alternative to commercial USB protocol analyzers.
The open design also allows developers to inspect the hardware, firmware, FPGA logic, and host software instead of relying on a closed proprietary platform.
