Wireshark

Wireshark is an application that is integrated with features for monitoring relevant network activity and for storing these pieces of data into logs and databases for future analysis. This software is classified as a network management and data analysis program, and this application was developed for network computers that are running on compatible Windows-based systems. Different network protocols can be monitored, tracked and analyzed by Wireshark, providing network system administrators and IT personnel with a quick and easy way to improve the efficiency of network ports and data transmissions to and from network computers, other devices that are connected to the network and Internet servers. Version 1.8.5 is the most recent stable release of Wireshark, which was developed by Riverbed Technologies. This version is now implemented with support for computers that are running on Mac OS X 10.5.5. The Wireshark source code is also available for developers who intend to add plugins and add other useful functionalities to the integrated features of this network analysis program.

WinDump

WinDump is an application that is categorized as a network analysis program, and this software was developed for computers that are running on compatible versions of widely used Windows systems. WinDump is integrated with a command line user interface and many features that allow users to gather network-related data and store it in logs for future analysis, via the Windows command line. WinDump was created to serve as the Windows version of the tcpdump application, which is implemented with support for UNIX-based platforms. Network packet capturing functionalities are integrated into this application, and this network analysis software was developed by Riverbed Technologies, a popular software development group that also created Wireshark. Network system administrators and IT personnel of businesses and companies can use WinDump to closely monitor and store logged details of network activity, which can later be used for improving certain settings of the network infrastructure that can in turn enhance the efficiency of data transmissions to and from computers and devices connected to the network, and these details can also help system administrators in fortifying network security.
