Wireshark is an open source, sophisticated and highly acclaimed network analyzer software used by network professionals around the world for network traffic troubleshooting, analysis, software and protocol development.
Supports a wide range of capture file formats
With Wireshark, you can capture data “off the wire” from a live network connection, as well as to read from and write to popular capture file formats, including the tcpdump data outputted by the libpcap library, Pcap NG, Cisco Secure IDS iplog, Microsoft Network Monitor, Novell LANalyzer, and Network Instruments Observer.
