It has been mentioned here on the blog before about the power of a utility called Wireshark to map out how things connect to the internet and it’s usefulness in performing some advanced troubleshooting tasks concerning Windows and Linux connectivity. The reason being, is because it potentially offers more flexibility and power than what another good quality network analyses tool, URLSnooper has to offer which has also been covered previously. However, at the same time, URLSnooper is nowhere near as complex to use and configure as Wireshark can be, so for less advanced users, URLSnooper might be a more logical choice to out first. Wireshark aims to be the one of those tools that is indispensable if the time and effort is taken to properly set it up. If you can do that, Wireshark is one of a kind in it’s power and its packet analysis abilities.
