EffeTech HTTP Sniffer
EffeTech HTTP Sniffer is a HTTP protocol network sniffer, packet analyzer and file reassembly software based on Windows platform. Unlike most other sniffers, it is dedicated to capture IP packets containing HTTP protocol and to rebuild the HTTP communications and files sent through HTTP protocol. Its smart real-time analyzer enables on-the-fly content viewing while capture, analyze, parse and decode HTTP protocol.

Ethereal
Ethereal is a network protocol analyzer for Unix. It allows you to examine data from a live network or from a capture file on disk. You can interactively browse the capture data, viewing summary and detail information for each packet. Ethereal has several powerful features, including a rich display filter language and the ability to view the ASCII contents of a TCP connection.

Netlog
An advanced network sniffer system to monitor your networks. These programs are a part of the network security system used by Texas A&M University. It can be used for locating suspicious network traffic. The following programs are included: tcplogger - Log all TCP connections on a subnet udplogger - Log all UDP sessions on a subnet extract - Process log files created by tcplogger or udplogger All three programs require an ANSI C compiler. Tcplogger and udplogger use the SunOS 4.x Network Interface Tap (nit).

NETMAN version 1.1
The NETMAN package of network monitoring and visualization tools consists of the following sub-programs. The etherman program is an X Window System tool that displays a representation of real-time Ethernet communications. The interman program focuses on IP connectivity within a single segment. The packetman tool is a retrospective Ethernet packet analyzer.

Sniff'em
Sniff’em™ uses the promiscuous mode in the NDIS driver to enable the card to listen to data traffic. NDIS is an abbreviation for the "Network Driver Interface Specification” is a Windows device driver interface that enables a single network interface card (NIC) to support multiple network protocols. For example, with NDIS, a single NIC can support TCP/IP, IPX, and more protocols; NDIS can also be used by ISDN adapters.

TCP Dump
The tcpdump program by Van Jacobson. This program is similar to Sun's etherfind, but somewhat more powerful and slightly easier to use. It captures packets from an Ethernet in promiscuous mode, and displays their contents. Numerous options exist to filter the output down to only those packets of interest. This version runs on a number of different UNIX platforms.

Web packet sniffer
These are a pair of Perl scripts that together will listen to all TCP/IP traffic on a subnet, intercept all outgoing requests for Web documents and display them, intercept all incoming requests for Web documents and display them and decode the Basic authentication passwords, if any.
