This is a network traffic monitor and packet analyzer. This program can receive ethernet packets for viewing and saving. Also, it has the ability to create files from HTTP file streams. This is done by the reconstruction of the packets of an HTTP file stream.
Unlike an ordinary packet analyzer, NetworkActiv PIAFCTM allows you to choose between three different modes of analyzation,
Mode 1 (Packet Interceptor)
While in this mode, PIAFCTM captures and analyzes network data packets. PIAFCTM allows you to view special information encoded in each packet such as the source and destination IP addresses, the source and destination ports, and many other pieces of information. When capturing using the NetworkActiv PIAFCTM Packet Driver, data is captured at the ethernet level allowing you to see the MAC (Media Access Control) addresses of each computer from which you have received packets.
Many packets can be captured in a short period of time, and so you may not wish to view them all. With PIAFCTM, you can filter the capturing of packets by IP address, port, packet size, protocol, and/or text-sub-string searching of each packets content. Also, you can search for a text-sub-string within the current list of packets, save the list of packets to a text file, view the data payload content of each packet (in Hex, Decimal, Text, or standard Hex+Text style), and more. |
