Packet Analyzer / Network Analyzer / Protocol Analyzer / Packet Sniffer Tool

Wireshark :

           Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer for Unix and Windows. is a free and open-source packet analyzer.

Packet Analysis Made Easy

  • Visually rich, powerful LAN analyzer
  • Quickly access very large pcap files
  • Professional, customizable reports
  • Advanced triggers and alerts






               It is used for network troubleshooting, analysis, software and communications protocol development, and education. Originally named Ethereal, in May 2006 the project was renamed Wireshark due to trademark issues.

NetworkMiner :

                    is a Network Forensic Analysis Tool (NFAT) for Windows that can detect the OS, hostname and open ports of network hosts through packet sniffing or by parsing a PCAP file. NetworkMiner can also extract transmitted files from network traffic.



Features


  • Network Forensics
  • Network Sniffing
  • PCAP Parser
  • Digital Forensics
  • Packet Sniffer

Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4:
                              Tool to allow capturing and protocol analysis of network traffic.

 

Network Monitor 3.4 is a protocol analyzer. It allows you to capture network traffic and view and analyze it. Microsoft is working on its successor, Microsoft Message Analyzer

Dsniff :

         is a collection of tools for network auditing and penetration testing. dsniff, filesnarf, mailsnarf, msgsnarf, urlsnarf, and webspy passively monitor a network for interesting data (passwords, e-mail, files, etc.). arpspoof, dnsspoof, and macof facilitate the interception of network traffic normally unavailable to an attacker (e.g, due to layer-2 switching). sshmitm and webmitm implement active monkey-in-the-middle attacks against redirected SSH and HTTPS sessions by exploiting weak bindings in ad-hoc PKI.

Tcpdump :

              is the network sniffer we all used before (Wireshark) came on the scene, and many of us continue to use it frequently. It may not have the bells and whistles (such as a pretty GUI and parsing logic for hundreds of application protocols) that Wireshark has, but it does the job well and with less security risk. It also requires fewer system resources. While Tcpdump doesn't receive new features often, it is actively maintained to fix bugs and portability problems. It is great for tracking down network problems or monitoring activity.
