I agree! I have used most of the commercially available packages such as Sniffer, and for most things I prefer Ethereal. I do not always carry an analyser with me and being able to download Ethereal to a clients workstation has helped me many times. I also like Ethereal's ability to read most capture formats so a client can mail me captures for analysis.
Just my 0.02 (GBP).

I have used the the sniffers as well but personally I prefer the unix versions(maybe because im more comfortably with unix as you can have full control) e.g even tcpdump i find very good because you can use this with the ngrep utility to filter stuff. As suggested its quite important to know how protocols work and conversate. regards, seun Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=72471&t=72346 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
