4. Frequently Asked Questions

4.1. What is a PacketQC?

PacketQC is a static quantum-scanning tool that provides assurance on the quantum security of all the security protocol connections in your network.

4.2. Why use PacketQC?

PacketQC will ensure that your company’s network is compliant with upcoming quantum-related cybersecurity regulations, all while not needing show us your entire network, or integration of a tool into your network. All you have to do is scan your network and provide a packet capture. We will take it from there.

4.3. How often should I use PacketQC?

We recommend you use PacketQC at least once a week. This will ensure that your network is sufficiently protected by quantum-secure connections, and flag any unsafe connections so that you can further investigate them before they become an issue.

4.4. How do I capture packets?

You can capture packet any of the following tools (and many more): * Wireshark * tcpdump * Tshark * Nmap (with Npcap) * Snort * CloudShark * EtherApe * NetworkMiner * Fiddler

Although, we highly recommend using Wireshark as it has a clean, easy-to-use interface. To use Wireshark, simply install and open it. Then select your interface that you are going to capture the packets over. Then, start capturing. Once, you feel you are done, stop capturing and save packet capture in either .pcap or .pcapng formats.

4.5. Why can’t PacketQC capture and scan network traffic in real-time as well?

This is by design as PacketQC is purely a static quantum packet scanning tool. This is a much safer as PacketQC has no interest in how your overall network looks and operates. It just analyzes the security of the connections that were captured in the provided pcap file, and provides a report on those connections.

4.6. What does PacketQC do with our packet captures and how do I know that they are stored safely?

Once the packet capture file is parsed and analyzed, the pcap file is immediately deleted from our backend server. Your packet captures will never be stored by us and the analysis results shown will only be for the usage session.

4.7. Why doesn’t PacketQC support files larger than 20MB?

Files larger than 20MB are not supported as PacketQC is still in RnD phase.
