Network Forensics Packages and Appliances -
E-Detective
CapAnalysis
Open Source web visual tool for information security specialists, system administrators and everyone who needs to analyze large amounts of captured network traffic.
CapAnalysis performs indexing of data set of PCAP files and presents their contents in many forms, starting from a list of TCP, UDP or ESP streams/flows, passing to the geo-graphical representation of the connections.

NetworkMiner
NetworkMiner is a Network Forensic Analysis Tool (NFAT) for Windows. NetworkMiner can be used as a passive network sniffer/packet capturing tool in order to detect operating systems, sessions, hostnames, open ports etc. without putting any traffic on the network. NetworkMiner can also parse PCAP files for off-line analysis and to regenerate/reassemble transmitted files and certificates from PCAP files. The purpose of NetworkMiner is to collect data (such as forensic evidence) about hosts on the network rather than to collect data regarding the traffic on the network. The main view is host centric (information grouped per host) rather than packet centric (information showed as a list of packets/frames). NetworkMiner has, since the first release in 2007, become popular tool among incident responce teams as well as law enforcement. NetworkMiner is today used by companies and organizations all over the world.
NetworkMiner is available both as a free open source tool and as a commercial network forensics tool.
