HPD Local Copy Pricing
Run the Hex Packet Decoder entirely on your own infrastructure. A self-hosted Local Copy keeps every packet inside your network, perfect for labs, classrooms, security teams and air-gapped environments. Because nothing ever leaves your premises, it is the ideal choice when security and confidentiality matter and sensitive captures must never touch a third-party server.
Overview
The HPD Local Copy is the same decoder running on hpd.gasmi.net, packaged so you can deploy it on-premise. Licenses are perpetual and priced once, based on the size of your organization. Every license includes all updates for 3 years at no extra cost.
Free for education

License scope: internal use only
The Local Copy license is granted for internal use within your organization only. It lets your own team decode packets on your own infrastructure.
If you need to offer HPD to external users or integrate it into a product you distribute, that requires a separate agreement, so contact me to discuss it.

Read it, audit it, adapt it.
Delivery: Docker image
HPD Local Copy is delivered as a ready-to-run Docker image. Everything the decoder needs (the web app, the Wireshark / tshark engine and all dependencies) is bundled inside the image, so there is nothing to compile or configure on the host.
- Self-contained: no system packages to install; just Docker on your host.
- Runs anywhere: Linux servers, VMs, or air-gapped hosts that can load a Docker image from a file.
- Simple updates: Load the new image to upgrade; your configuration stays put.
- Isolated: the decoder runs in its own container, separate from the rest of your system.
The image is delivered to you as a .tar archive file, not through
a public registry. You simply copy the file to your host and load it locally with
docker load, so deployment works even on fully air-gapped environments
with no internet access:
docker load -i hpd-local.tar
docker run -d -p 8080:80 --name hpd hpd-local:latest.tar image, there is no
registry, no internet access and no external dependency required to install or run HPD,
ideal for isolated labs, classified networks and offline deployments.
Updates
Every license is perpetual, so you pay once and the software keeps working indefinitely. On top of that, each license includes all updates for 3 years at no extra cost:
- New protocol support: decoder improvements and additions as they ship.
- Bug fixes: corrections and stability improvements.
- New features: enhancements to the decoder, hex map and API.
After the 3-year update window, the version you have keeps running forever, but you will no longer receive new updates.
FAQ
How is company size counted?
Company size is the total number of employees in your organization. Pick Standard if your company has fewer than 1,000 employees, or Enterprise for 1,000 or more.
Is the license really perpetual?
Yes. The license fee is a one-time payment and the software keeps working indefinitely. Each license also includes all updates for 3 years.
What happens after 3 years of updates?
Nothing changes for the version you already have, it keeps running forever.
The 3-year window only covers receiving new updates. There is no mandatory subscription.
But if you want to keep receiving updates after that, you can purchase a new license at the then-current price.
Are universities and schools really free?
Yes, the license is free for universities, schools and other educational institutions, with the same 3 years of updates included. Just reach out with your institution details.
Can I run it as a public website or service?
No. The license is for internal use within your organization only. Hosting HPD as a public service, reselling it, or exposing it to users outside your organization is not permitted and requires a separate agreement.
