I haven't ever used it on Solaris, but have you looked
at NTop? It's one of the best traffic analyzers I've
seen. - http://www.ntop.org

Hello and good day,

I am looking for a freely available tool/package,
doesn't have to be
anything special, that will give me relatively
real-time network
statistics regarding the NIC on my Solaris 8 box.
Mainly I am looking
for packets transmitted, packets lost, bytes
transmitted, collisions
on the interface, and possibly who is causing it
(find the
bottleneck/troublemaker). So far I have been using a
combination of
Ethereal/Ettercap/Etherape to perform this task, but
I was wondering
if anybody could point me in a better direction.

Also, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions
on the
optimal/minimal freeware toolset/configuration to
try and achieve as
much of Core Impact's functionality as possible. So
far, I have been
using Metasploit, Nessus, and NMap. Any suggestions?

Thank you very much for your time. Any help is
always appreciated.
Have a great day!

Best regards,
Jason
