🛡️ Network Packet Analyzer

A Python-based Network Packet Analyzer developed as part of the CodSoft Cyber Security Internship. This project captures live network packets, extracts important information such as Source IP, Destination IP, Protocol, Packet Length, and displays them in a well-formatted console. It also stores the captured packet details in TXT and CSV files for future analysis.
