HTTPNetworkSniffer Description
HTTPNetworkSniffer addresses a rather peculiar group of users in the community because of its nature and its utility as an application software. Usually, a HTTP sniffer program intercepts and logs the passing traffic in a network or just a part of it.
The job of a such software is to capture packets flowing across the network as data streams and, in peculiar cases, decrypt the raw data of the packet, exhibiting the field values of the packet, while also analyzing the content corresponding to RFC (Request for Comments) or other designations.
In the particular case of HTTPNetworkSniffer, the grapical user interface helps you a lot by drawing a rather intuitive window that encases each and every important bit of its functionality. Moreover, you can rapidly and effortlessly utilize the context menu of the items that keep popping in it as soon as you turn the sniffer on, in order to save and copy them as well as create HTML reports or perform actions related to columns.
HTTPNetworkSniffer also helps you quickly and easily select the capture method between raw sockets, WinPcap packet capture driver as well as two other Microsoft network monitor drivers. Moreover, HTTPNetworkSniffer also provides you with the ‘Promiscuous Mode’ in order to enhance the packet sniffing operation by redirecting the network traffic to the CPU (central processing unit or processor).
The bottom line with HTTPNetworkSniffer is that it can be used for many purposes and even while not all of them can be placed within a certain moral perimeter, it surely does a good job at what it is supposed to be doing. At the end of the day, this is what matters most besides any eventual drawbacks that may be imposed because of ill-use from various malevolent people.
