Mercury: A Tool for Network Metadata Capture and Analysis
Mercury is a tool designed for capturing and analyzing network metadata. It reads network packets, identifies the relevant metadata, and outputs this information in JSON format.
It can also write out packets
It can also generate packets that include metadata, formatted in the PCAP file format.
The tool can scale up to high data rates
The tool is capable of scaling up to very high data rates, reaching 40Gbps on server-class hardware. This is achieved through the use of zero-copy ring buffers and independent worker threads dedicated to packet processing.
