Hmm. I use ethereal and I thinks its pretty good. But, IRIS from eeye.com is an outstanding (plug) network sniffer and packet reassembler tool. Will even create some nice executive level reports if need be. I've used it when situations called for it. Worth looking at definitely. My 2 cents -b On Fri, 2004-04-02 at 14:47, Yoo, Gene wrote:
How about Ethereal -> www.ethereal.com -----Original Message----- From: Giddens, Robert [mailto:GiddensRobert () bfusa com] Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 7:46 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Looking for a good protocol analyzer or network sniffer I am currently in the market for a good network analysis tool or protocol analyzer for the network that I manage. I currently use Ethereal but want something more GUI based with better capabilities. I have a Cisco switched network. One 4500 Core Switch with Fiber Gig to all the area switches. In the 4500 I have Sup IV cards and plan to use layer 3 (via EIGRP) directly on the switch. Most device connections are Copper running 100 Meg. I have seen some very crazy pricing on the Gig stuff so I think my budget will keep me in the 100 Meg area. I do have access to a corporate office that could provide the Gig support. I have looked at EtherPeek NX (WildPackets) and the Network Instruments stuff. I currently use the ProConvert from WildPackets to convert the traces I get from one product to another. Thanks for your input!!!! Robert Giddens
