Stratoshark Explained: Wireshark for System Calls, Containers & Cloud

What if you could analyze system calls, containers, and cloud workloads the same way you analyze packets in Wireshark?
That’s exactly what Stratoshark does — deep visibility into hosts, containers, and cloud activity.

Stratoshark is an open source analysis tool that brings the Wireshark-style workflow to system calls, containers, hosts, and cloud audit events.

Instead of only inspecting network packets, Stratoshark lets you:

• Capture and analyze system calls
• Investigate process execution, file access, and container behavior
• Correlate host activity with cloud audit logs
• Apply familiar filtering, dissecting, and investigation workflows
