LayerView

LayerView is a super handy packet sniffer that lets you keep track of the data your computer sends and receives. It’s lightweight, so it won’t bog down your system while you’re monitoring!

User-Friendly Design

The layout is really user-friendly and shows you information about Low Level and TCP/UDP conversations. Switching between these features is a breeze, making it easy to find what you need.

Detailed Packet Info

This tool gives you loads of details about each packet, like the time, protocol, source and destination MAC addresses, source and destination IP addresses, plus the ports used. All this info gets neatly recorded in the Low Level panel. Meanwhile, if you're looking for conversation data, the Conversations window lays out everything from the protocol to local and remote addresses.

Customize Your View

If the interface feels cluttered with features you don’t use much, no worries! You can hide layers like data link, network, transport, and application layers for a cleaner view.

Packet Tracing Made Easy

You can turn on packet tracing mode by picking which network interface card you want to monitor. This way, LayerView shows detailed information about every packet sent or received by your NIC.

In-Depth Analysis

Select any packet from your list to dive deep into its details. You can analyze which protocols are in use and check out the entire packet contents in both hex-dump and text formats.

Capture Conversations & Filter Data

You can view all conversations captured for any supported protocol by LayerView. Plus, filtering packets is super simple with custom rules. And if you want to save your work? Just export any packet trace to a file for future projects!

Color-Coding & Other Features

The tool even lets you set up rules for coloring text and backgrounds when packets match specific expressions. You can perform name lookups (this converts IP addresses into host names), use promiscuous mode to collect data sent/received by others on your network (great for wired connections), and specify how much data gets buffered when reading packets.

Your Go-To Tool for Network Monitoring

In conclusion, LayerView offers a cool set of features wrapped in an intuitive environment that helps you explore TCP/UDP conversations while analyzing various protocols and filtering data efficiently.
