Spider introduces a new plugin slot to decode TCP payloads directly in the UI!
No need to download the payload in Wireshark anymore. You may directly decode any protocol, even your own, in Spider UI.

Overview​

3 plugins are already available to decode the following protocols

  • HTTP
  • MQTT
  • Redis

You may install them in one click from the plugin store 😎
