Main Article    The Ethereal Packet Sniffer

WinPcap, a free Windows port of the UNIX libpcap packet-capture library, is also necessary to run Nmap, WinDump, and Snort on the Windows platform. Nmap is a great free port scanner, and WinDump is the Windows version of tcpdump, a command-line protocol analyzer similar to Tethereal. Snort is a popular open-source Intrusion Detection System (IDS). You can download Nmap from Reader Comments
