Packet Viewer Tool Description

VIDEO >> See it in action!

• Watch a demonstration of NetScanTools Pro capturing packets with Packet Viewer.

Special Requirements
This application has been tested on Windows Vista, 2003, XP, 2000. We use it with standard ethernet 10/100BaseT network interfaces. Your interface must support 'promiscuous' mode. Wireless interfaces may or may not work depending on the brand and model. Modems and WAN (PPP/SLIP) interfaces are not supported on Windows Vista due to WinPcap limitations. This feature requires the WinPcap packet driver which we install as part of the NetScanTools Pro package.

Features

• Real time display of the arriving packet count.
• Time stamping of packet arrival, display of source/destination IPs, protocol type.
• Parsing to show port numbers, packet length, TTL, TCP sequence numbers and flags.
• Input Filter by IP address, port number or packet type (ICMP, TCP, UDP)
• Post-capture display filtering by text found in display.
• Post-capture searching of the display list of packets for text strings.
• Post-capture searching of the actual packet contents for text strings.
• Save the packet capture file separately for future reference.
• Extraction and export of a single packet to a separate packet capture file (.cap).
• Load/import a previous session from a saved Packet Viewer capture file.

Windows Vista compatibility: Fully functional as of v10.42.
