IP Tools

IP Tools is a cool collection of apps designed to work with your computer's network adapter. The main star here is the packet sniffer, which is also known as a network or protocol analyzer. This handy tool can intercept and log all sorts of network traffic.

Easy Compatibility with Windows

This sniffer works on any version of Windows by using three methods: the new raw socket approach from Windows 2000, WinPcap, or the NDIS protocol. Its key tasks are filtering, decoding, and parsing data. At first glance, the interface seems simple enough, but dive into its menus and you’ll find a treasure trove of features. Just a heads up though—IP Tools is really built for advanced users!

Diverse Tool Suite

The suite includes many individual tools that cover everything from basic bandwidth monitoring to more complex tasks like spoofing and decoding. For instance, the bandwidth monitor can check activity both locally and remotely while showing IP LAN activity for your chosen interface. The Adapter Statistics tool displays data for various protocols like IP, TCP, UDP, or ICMP along with neat graphs showing directed, broadcast, and multicast packets.

Network Insights Made Easy

You can easily list all ARP entries, see what ports are open, get info about specific network adapters, or check out your PC's routing table. Other features let you hook Winsock APIs to certain processes and perform ARP spoofs by sending fake ARP replies along with TCP, UDP or ICMP packets.

Advanced Configuration Options

If you're looking to change MAC addresses or configure SNMP, WINS, DNS, DHCP or SMTP settings—you’re in luck! The pack also includes a Hostname Resolver plus tools for Whois queries and TCP options like scan or ping. There are also UDP tools (like MSSQL / SNMP / SSDP ping) and ICMP tools (ping and tracert).

Comprehensive Decoder Tools

You’ll find several decoder tools too! These include Protected Storage access, Dump Credentials options, Password Reveal features for dial-up passwords as well as Hash Calculator tools. You can even decode Internet Explorer history or Base64/MDB/RDP data.

A Must-Have for Network Admins

With its wide range of programs packed into one suite, IP Tools is incredibly useful for daily network management tasks as well as in-depth analysis and configuration work. While its interface might not win any beauty contests, it makes up for it with an impressive selection of precise programs that help make managing networks easier!
