whats the best port monitor,scanner?


Recommended Posts


Ethereal is great but I personally wouldn't classify it as a port scanner. It is used for passive monitoring, not active probing.

Are you sure that it even has the ability to port scan? I've never tried...

for a good connection monitor, windows already has one.

make a file called netstat.cmd and put this in it:

start /b /normal /wait %windir%\system32\netstat.exe -a 1>netstat.txt
start /b %windir%\notepad.exe netstat.txt

whenever you want to view your current connections/listening ports just dbl click netstat.cmd

(sorry to bring this topic back)

is it possible that ethereal wont be able to capture a packet(especified kinda packet)?

i remember that packet capturing tolls like ethereal that works with winpcap have a weak point that they cant capture some special packets.is that right?

if yes is there any capturing program that doesnt have this flaw?

---is there anyway i can install microsoft networkmonitor that comes with windows server on my xp?
