Sniffing
-
snoop (Solaris)
- CLI mode tools for examining (sniffing) packets on a network. Puts your NIC into promiscuous mode so it can see all packets visible from the local connection.
-
- Graphical packet sniffer with easy search and filtering capabilities on captured data.
-
- It is grep except it parses network packets.
Notes:
When diagnosing protocol handshake issues, or when just trying to figure out the format of packets being sent/received by a network service, these tools are very valuable.
These tools let you filter out information based on source, destination, ports and protocols as well as provide “human readable” formatting options for the sniffed packets.
