Wireshark, a $1000.00 protocol analyzer for FREE!
Wireshark
is a fantastic or “fantastic” network protocol analyzer and its
absolutely FREE. My favorite price! Wireshark was originally known
as Ethereal and was renamed in May or 2006. Wireshark is available
for download and is free to use. They also have a large collection
of frame captures available that you can use to study protocol
construction. Wireshark is open source so you can actually look at
and modify the software program.
