Regular PCs FAIL at 1 Gbps Packet Capture: Here’s the Hardware Fix!

This video is sponsored by Profitap. Supercharge your packet capture & analysis workflow and toolkit. Visit - https://www.profitap.com/

Struggling to diagnose random slowness, packet loss or TCP resets on 10 Gbps+ links?

In this in-depth session, network guru Chris Greer joins me to benchmark ordinary laptop captures against the purpose-built Profitap IOTA tap.

See live tests showing laptops missing more than 50% of packets above 500 Mbps—and adding “gulped” timestamps that break analysis. Learn the everyday-carry toolkit Chris uses in banks, data-centres and forensic engagements.

Watch an IOTA walk-through: six-hour capture, instant application heat-map, TCP latency flags, and one-click PCAP export to Wireshark.
If you run high-throughput, encrypted or long-duration captures, this demo reveals the hardware upgrade that turns mountains of packets into actionable insight.
