Wireshark is available for Windows, Linux and Mac, making it ideal for mixed platform networks. The wealth of information that the program can reveal about network usage is staggering, and support for plugins means that the tool can be extended to add new protocols and features further down the line.
Wireshark boasts a graphical front end which makes it easy to analyse all traffic which travels over a network using a variety of protocols.ĭata packets can be captured from both wired and wireless network and this information can be viewed live as it is captured or analysed at a later date.
Network analysers are nothing new, but they have a tendency to be impenetrable programs reliant on command line operations and provide information in a text based form which can be difficult to interpret. If you've ever wondered just how your network is being used, Wireshark may be the tool you have been looking for.
