PRTG Network Monitor is the powerful network monitoring solution by Paessler AG. It ensures the availability of network components while also measuring traffic and usage. It saves costs by avoiding outages, optimizing connections, saving time and controlling service level agreements (SLAs).

Optimize Your Network and Avoid System Downtimes

Businesses increasingly rely on their networks to move data, provide communication, and enable basic operations. Performance loss or system outages can seriously impact the bottom line of your business. Continuous network and server monitoring enables you to find problems and resolve them before they become a serious threat to your business:

• Avoid bandwidth and server performance bottlenecks
• Deliver better quality of service to your users by being proactive
• Reduce costs by buying bandwidth and hardware based on actual load
• Increase profits by avoiding losses caused by undetected system failures
• Find peace of mind: As long as you do not hear from PRTG via email, SMS, pager, etc. you know everything is running fine and you have more time to take care of other important business

Wireshark is the world’s foremost network protocol analyzer, and is the de facto (and often de jure) standard across many industries and educational institutions. Wireshark development thrives thanks to the contributions of networking experts across the globe. It is the continuation of a project that started in 1998.

• Deep inspection of hundreds of protocols, with more being added all the time
• Live capture and offline analysis
• Standard three-pane packet browser
• Multi-platform: Runs on Windows, Linux, OS X, Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and many others
• Captured network data can be browsed via a GUI, or via the TTY-mode TShark utility
• The most powerful display filters in the industry
• Rich VoIP analysis
• Read/write many different capture file formats: tcpdump (libpcap), Pcap NG, Catapult DCT2000, Cisco Secure IDS iplog, Microsoft Network Monitor, Network General Sniffer® (compressed and uncompressed), Sniffer® Pro, and NetXray®, Network Instruments Observer, NetScreen snoop, Novell LANalyzer, RADCOM WAN/LAN Analyzer, Shomiti/Finisar Surveyor, Tektronix K12xx, Visual Networks Visual UpTime, WildPackets EtherPeek/TokenPeek/AiroPeek, and many others
• Capture files compressed with gzip can be decompressed on the fly
• Live data can be read from Ethernet, IEEE 802.11, PPP/HDLC, ATM, Bluetooth, USB, Token Ring, Frame Relay, FDDI, and others (depending on your platform)
• Decryption support for many protocols, including IPsec, ISAKMP, Kerberos, SNMPv3, SSL/TLS, WEP, and WPA/WPA2
• Coloring rules can be applied to the packet list for quick, intuitive analysis

Version 1.32:
* Added /codeinject command-line option.

Using this utility on Windows 7
Starting from Windows 7, Microsoft changed the encryption and hashing algorithms that are used by the Windows Data Protection (DPAPI) system. This change also affects the encryption of the wireless keys stored by Windows, and thus WirelessKeyView failed to retrieve the wireless keys under Windows 7.
The research and development of a new code that will decrypt the keys of Windows 7 may take a while. So for now, I added a workaround that will allow Windows 7 users to retrieve their wireless keys. This workaround uses an old method of code infection that I used until version 1.25 and it still works properly under Windows 7. This method has one drawback that you should be aware: In some circumstances, it may crash the lsass.exe process and will require your system to restart.

In order to use this code injection method under Windows 7, go to ‘Advanced Options’ (F9), and choose the ‘Use code injection method’ option.

SoftPerfect Network Scanner is a free multi-threaded IP, NetBIOS and SNMP scanner with a modern interface and several advanced features. It is intended for both system administrators and general users interested in computer security. The program pings computers, scans for listening TCP ports and displays which types of resources are shared on the network (including system and hidden).

In addition, it allows you to mount shared folders as network drives, browse them using Windows Explorer, filter the results list and more. SoftPerfect Network Scanner can also check for a user-defined port and report back if one is open. It can also resolve host names and auto-detect your local and external IP range. It supports remote shutdown and Wake-On-LAN.

• Pings computers.
• Does not require administrative privileges.
• Detects hardware (MAC) addresses even across routers.
• Detects hidden shared folders (normally invisible on the network) and write accessible shares.
• Detects your internal and external IP addresses.
• Scans for listening TCP ports and SNMP services.
• Retrieves currently logged-on users.
• You can mount and explore network resources.
• Can launch external third party applications.
• Exports results to HTML, XML, CSV and TXT
• Supports Wake-On-LAN, remote shutdown and sending network messages.
• Retrieves potentially any information via WMI.
• Retrieves information from remote registry.

NetWorx is a simple and free, yet powerful tool that helps you objectively evaluate your bandwidth situation. You can use it to collect bandwidth usage data and measure the speed of your Internet or any other network connection. NetWorx can help you identify possible sources of network problems, ensure that you do not exceed the bandwidth limits specified by your ISP, or track down suspicious network activity characteristic of Trojan horses and hacker attacks.

The program allows you to monitor all your network connections or a specific network connection (such as Ethernet or PPP) only. The software also features a system of highly customizable visual and sound alerts. You can set it up to alert you when the network connection is down or when some suspicious activity, such as unusually heavy data flow, occurs. It can also automatically disconnect all dialup connections and shut down the system.

The incoming and outgoing traffic is represented on a line chart and logged to a file, so that you can always view statistics about your daily, weekly and monthly bandwidth usage and dial-up duration. The reports can be exported to a variety of formats, such as HTML, MS Word and Excel, for further analysis.

Karen’s LAN Monitor starts by displaying important information about every network adapter on your computer. These details include the adapter’s speed, IP address(es), DHCP Lease information, and more.

Next, the program shows all current connections between your computer and others on the local network, and on the Internet. You’ll see the name and IP address of the remote computer, and the type of connection (HTTP, POP3, FTP, etc) that’s being made!

The LAN Monitor also displays real-time traffic statistics, including bytes sent and received, transmission errors, and network connection load factors.
