Smartsniff is a tool for monitoring and analyzing data from the network. It is a program that allows you to catch and receive TCP/IP packets through the network to make sure you send and receive. It shows the data with a glimpse of the server and the client's conversation.
You can use this tool to see packets in two ways. ASCII mode is used for text -based protocols, for example HTTP or FTP, and verses on DNS, a bit of a bitter protocol. It's easy to understand how to exchange data.
There are three ways to catch packets with Smartsniff. The simplest way is raw sockets , which is a way to capture packets without installing a separate driver. It can be used immediately without the installation process, but the performance can be slightly lower.
The second method is to install Winpcap Capture Driver . This driver is provided as a free open source and works stably at Windows. This method is most recommended because it fits well with Smartsniff.
Finally, there is a method called Microsoft Network Monitor Driver , which can only be used in Windows 2000, XP, 2003. It's not installed by default, so you have to install it manually. If you install it on the CD-ROM, or download the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Support Tools and run NETCAP.EXE, the driver is automatically installed.
With Smartsniff, you can quickly and easily capture and analyze the data from the network, so you can see what data you are giving and receiving!
