Wireshark is a multi-platform packet analyzer. It will decode and display hundreds of network protocols.
Wireshark is used for network troubleshooting, analysis, software and communications protocol development, and education. The functionality Wireshark provides is very similar to tcpdump, but it has a graphical front-end, and many more information sorting and filtering options. It allows the user to see all traffic being passed over the network by putting the network interface into promiscuous mode.
