What is NetTraffic?
NetTraffic is a comprehensive network monitoring and analysis tool for Windows. It allows users to monitor all traffic passing through their network adapters and provides powerful analysis features to inspect traffic in great detail.
Some key features of NetTraffic include:
- Real-time packet capture - Sniff packets on wired, wireless or VPN interfaces and apply filters to capture only traffic of interest.
- Protocol analysis - Drill down into the packet contents of protocols like HTTP, DNS, SMTP etc. Analyze protocol conversations between clients and servers.
- Session analysis - Track TCP, UDP and other sessions and analyze application-layer conversations between endpoints.
- Statistics and graphs - Get summary statistics about packets, throughput, conversations etc. Plots these on graphs over time to identify trends.
- Alerting - Define rules to trigger alerts when interesting events occur, like client connecting to a blacklisted server IP etc.
- Scripting - Automate NetTraffic via Python scripts for monitoring, analysis and reporting.
With its advanced monitoring and analytical capabilities, NetTraffic is useful for network administrators, security analysts, application developers and other IT professionals to gain deep visibility into their networks.
