Wireshark Protocol Analyzer
A protocol analyzer, sometimes called a packet sniffer, is a monitoring device or a computer with monitoring software that captures each packet to decode and analyze its contents. Wireshark is an open source packet analyzer that will capture network packets and display that packet with very detailed protocol information. Network administrators can use it to troubleshoot network problems. Network security engineers can use it to examine security problems. Developers may use it to debug protocol implementations. Some people may use it to learn network protocol internals. Open your internet browser and type in the current URL www.wireshark.org
