Sniffnet

[Ninou]

What is Sniffnet?
Sniffnet is a network monitoring tool to help you easily keep track of
your Internet traffic.

Whether you want to gather statistics, or you need to inspect more in
depth what's going on in your network, this app will get you covered.
What makes Sniffnet unique?
Sniffnet is a technical tool, but at the same time it strongly focuses
on the overall user experience: most of the network analyzers out
there are cumbersome to use, while one of Sniffnet's cornerstones is
to be usable with ease by everyone.

Furthermore, Sniffnet is completely free and open-source,
dual-licensed under MIT or Apache-2.0: if you are interested you can
find the full source code on GitHub.

If it would install with wpcap.dll I may try it again. On the other
hand I don't play with wannabe programs

out of curiosity...
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=wpcap.dll+winpcap

https://npcap.com/vs-winpcap.html
"Npcap runs great on Windows 11. Npcap is under active development and
continues to support the latest Windows networking features."

https://npcap.com/#download
"Npcap 1.75 installer for Windows 7/2008R2, 8/2012, 8.1/2012R2, 10/2016,
2019, 11 (x86, x64, and ARM64)." https://npcap.com/dist/npcap-1.75.exe

afaict, npcap-1.75.exe (1.09 MB) installed fine under Windows 11 and 7,
but after doing this, instead of "Sniffnet" failing to run because of a
missing "wpcap.dll" file, next it said "the program can't start because
vcruntime140.dll is missing" https://duckduckgo.com/?q=vcruntime140.dll

seems that "Sniffnet" is apparently not "usable with ease by everyone",
albeit others testing this program may not encounter such difficulties.

Well, not according to the author's threat to abandon without donations.

> https://www.sniffnet.net/

To me, this is yet another of those "free" projects pasted together with
the intent to generate revenue through donations.

https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet
If you appreciate Sniffnet, please consider donating: this is the only
way for me to keep working on this project, constantly improving and
expanding it.
In scarcity of sponsors, I will be forced to quit my contributions to
this project (sadly).

The coercive connotation is that donations are required to keep this
product alive. No one should be starting a FOSS project with the intent
that it self destructs without donations. Github is free (there are
paid plans). TuCows, the domain registrar for sniffnet.net, doesn't
sell domain registrations directly to customers. They only do wholesale
domain registrations which means you have to buy through a reseller;
e.g., Hover (.net domains are $17/yr). www.sniffnet.net resolves to
gyulyvgc.github.com. The gyulyvgc is the author's project name at
Github. It's also to where the download links point at the web site.
Github provides webhosting. So, on just what is the author spending
money for his SniffNet product? Must be for the electricity to power
his computer.

At the Github project site, Required Dependencies lists (for Windows):
- Install Npcap (in WinPcap compatibility mode).
- Download the Npcap SDK, and copy libs to the correct folders.

KenW wanted to know about WinPcap presumably meaning it isn't included
in SniffNet, yet Npcap is included (well, maybe you have to get the libs
from the SDK). WinPcap is needed only if the product is used back on
Windows XP since Npcap doesn't support that OS.

https://npcap.com/vs-winpcap.html

WinPcap was developed by the Nmap project, got dumped back in 2013, and
replaced with Npcap also developed by Nmap. So, on what did the
SniffNet author spend money to qualify his threat that he needs
donations to prevent abandoning his project?

Maybe on the non-free version of Npcap? The non-free licenses are very
expensive. See:

https://npcap.com/oem/redist.html

The free license of Npcap grants use on up to 5 hosts (aka "systems"),
but unlimited when incorporated with Nmap, Wireshark, and MS Defender
for Identity. Presumably that means the Sniffnet author can distribute
unlimited copies of his product, but his users may only use it on up to
5 hosts. I didn't see the limitation mentioned by the author at his
[Github] web site or in his Github project.

I always will try an "easier/simpler" program. Will stick with
Wireshark.

consensus looks unanimous "must have" "10 out of 10":
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=wireshark.org+user+reviews

not too many freeware programs get 100%-positive ratings, so (again, out
of curiosity) I downloaded both Windows "Stable Release: 4.0.6" versions,
installer and portable, and they installed uniquely well, e.g. instead of
the usual "Licence Agreement" ... "I agree" legalese, it's simply "Noted";
also, the recently installed "Npcap 1.75" prompted a system-crash warning
message to run "net stop npcap...before upgrading", so I unstalled "Npcap
1.75" first before installing "Wireshark" and checked "Install Npcap 1.71"
in the "Packet Capture" window, then checked "USBPcap 1.5.4.0" in the "USB
Capture" window, then clicked "Install", clicked "I agree" to "Npcap 1.71"
with no options checked, then after "Npcap" installation finished checked
"I accept..." in "USBPcap Driver licence" window, clicked "Next", checked
"I accept..." in "USBPcapCMD licence" window, "Next", "Full" installation
(default), "Install" ... "Completed", "Close", then finally "Installation
Complete", "Next", "Reboot now", PC (running Windows 7) restarted normally,
"Wireshark" started normally afaict, and with Wireshark running sent this
reply using Omnimix w/tor, but more testing needed; these do seem to work:

>Windows Intel Installer (75.1 MB):
https://2.na.dl.wireshark.org/win64/Wireshark-win64-4.0.6.exe

>Windows Intel PortableApps (43.4 MB):
https://2.na.dl.wireshark.org/win64/WiresharkPortable64_4.0.6.paf.exe

+1 on Wireshark.
Bit of a learning curve, but once you've got it set up and can
remember the more useful filters, it's unbeatable.

Just curious, what advantages does Wireshark have over SmartSniff by
Nirsoft?

cross-posted messages (those sent to more than one newsgroup at a time)
and all posts from several trolls (eg. "Bucky Breeder"). I recommend you
do likewise in all three cases.

Wireshark can sniff out (and record) ANY packet. Even stuff
coming from outside or to and from a USB or Bluetooth device. Not
sure about serial or parallel ports.
Plus you can examine minute details of any packet
sent/received/captured.

SmartSniff just monitors the connections to/from your
Ethernet/wireless card. I think. Never used it. LOL

Microscope vs magnifying glass.
