Justniffer 0.5.2
Free and open source TCP packet sniffer more>> Free and open source TCP packet sniffer
Justniffer captures TCP packets, reassembles and reorders them, performs IP packet defragmentation and displays the tcp flow in the standard output.
Justniffer is useful for logging network traffic in a standard (web server like) or in a customized way.
Justniffer can log timings, for example it can log the response time). It is very useful for tracking network services performances (e.g. application server, web server, etc.).
The main differences with other sniffers are:
- Justniffer captures tcp/ip traffic and handle all tcp/ip stuff (reordering, retrasmissions, defragmentation). The tcp flow adjustment is performed using linux kernel code included in a slightly modified version of the nids library.
- Justniffer reports timing informations. So it can be usefull for tracking network system performances
Enhancements
- fixed compilation issues with gcc 3.3.3
- added connection.timestamp
- fixed idle.time.0 formatting
- fixed documentation
- more adherence to RFC 2616: looking for headers in case insesitive mode
- new HTTP headers added
MacSniffer 1.0b1
MacSniffer allows you to view all of the traffic on a network connection more>>
MacSniffer includes a filter editing interface and a filter library to easily construct and reuse packet filters to view a subset of all the traffic on the connection, such as just that destined for a specific host or port.
You can choose the level of detail you want captured, from just the minimal packet headers (showing source and destination hosts and ports) up to a full hex and ASCII dump of the packet contents.
MacSniffer can be useful for diagnosing many network problems, debugging client/server programs, and scanning for particular network exploits in real time.

The default TTL for packets on most operating systems is 60 (I think) and each time a packet passes though a router on the internet the TTL is subtracted by 1. Once a TTL reaches zero the packet is discarded. This is so that the internet doesnt get filled with lost packets that never get anywhere.
