Available for Windows 95 and NT 4.0, EtherPeek 3.0 represents an expanded and enhanced feature set for this intuitive, powerful protocol analyzer See network analyzer. and packet debugger. Key features of EtherPeek include real-time and post-capture packet filtering, Plug-ins for expert packet analysis, powerful decoding with support for all major protocol suites (including IP, AppleTalk, Netware IPX/SPX See IPX. , NetBEUI, NetBIOS, DECnet, SMB (1) (Small to Medium-sized Business) Also called "SME" (small to medium-sized enterprise), it refers to companies that are larger than the small office/home office (SOHO), but not huge. , OSI (1) (Open System Interconnection) An ISO standard for worldwide communications that defines a framework for implementing protocols in seven layers. Control is passed from one layer to the next, starting at the application layer in one station, proceeding to the TARP and more), ProtoSpecs(TM) technology for fine delineation of packet type, a simple "Make Filter" command for address, protocol and offset filter creation and modification, real-time utilization statistics for node, protocol, and filtered packet monitoring, a new Network Speeds Dialog for switching between media speeds, enhanced protocol definitions, and more. EtherPeek for Windows v.3.0 Feature Enhancements EtherPeek sets the industry standard for ease of use, while offering all the superior diagnostic and analysis capabilities expected of a full-featured network and protocol analyzer at a fraction of the cost of dedicated hardware-based analyzers. The 3.0 version of EtherPeek for Windows includes the following enhancements: -- ProtoSpecs(TM) Hierarchy in Protocol Statistics Summary Window ProtoSpecs technology uses multiple identifiers within a packet to create a tree-structure that specifies a top-level or "parent" protocol (such as "IP") and subprotocols that it contains (such as "FTP FTP in full file transfer protocol Internet protocol that allows a computer to send files to or receive files from another computer. Like many Internet resources, FTP works by means of a client-server architecture; the user runs client software to connect to " or "SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. "). In EtherPeek 3.0, ProtoSpecs have been added to the Protocol Statistics window along with many new protocol definitions. -- Plug-In Modules for Expert Packet Analysis The current set of available Plug-Ins offer the ability for the program to find and log duplicate IP address use, to verify checksums, to log web usage and FTP downloads, to provide expanded IP and AppleTalk packet detail in the Main window, detect internet "Land" attacks, and more. -- Network Speed Dialog This new dialog allows the user to dictate the network speed for which EtherPeek will report network, node, and protocol statistics. The default setting is Auto sense, that is, EtherPeek will sense the speed dictated by the Network Interface Card selected for its use. This setting can be overidden to connect to and analyze a different network media speed. -- Log File Window Log window displays information regarding EtherPeek launch times as well as the results of packets processed through certain Plug-Ins. -- PageNOW! Page Server Support (personal edition) for Triggers & Plug-Ins -- New LAN/WAN LAN/WAN Local Area Network/Wide Area Network Protocols added to Protocol Decoder Suite New protocol additions include NetBIOS encapsulated in TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. and OSI/TARP. -- Expanded Protocol Definitions The Protocol Info...command provides descriptions and detailed explanations of a protocol or subprotocol and its use.
