Above

Above is a specialized tool for network security testing, aimed at identifying vulnerabilities in network infrastructure. It automates the detection process by analyzing traffic for protocols such as discovery protocols, dynamic routing, FHRP, STP, LLMNR/NBT-NS, and more. This makes it ideal for penetration testers seeking passive reconnaissance methods.

The tool operates silently, relying entirely on passive network traffic observation, ensuring no active interference or detection risk. Pentesters can use it to scan live traffic on specified interfaces or process captured pcap dumps offline, streamlining vulnerability hunting in complex environments.

Designed for security professionals, Above provides actionable insights into network weaknesses without the need for intrusive scans, supporting efficient workflows in red team engagements and security audits.

Above performs passive network traffic analysis using Python libraries like Scapy for packet dissection. It listens on specified interfaces or reads pcap files to detect anomalies and vulnerabilities in protocols including discovery protocols, dynamic routing, FHRP, STP, and LLMNR/NBT-NS. Features like passive ARP enable host discovery without active probing, ensuring stealthy operation.
