About the Project

The purpose of this project is to develop a Network Packet Sniffer. It is software that monitors all network traffic. As data streams flow across the network, the sniffer captures the packets and eventually decodes and analyzes their content. For network monitoring purposes it may also be desirable to monitor all data packets in a LAN and to mirror all packets passing through a shared bus.

This project will consist of three modules: 1. User Interface module 2. Statistics module and  3. Packet Analysis module. The User Interface module provides all the Graphical Interface components which are used for users to interact with the system. The Analysis Module will analyze the incoming packets into a computer, identify them, and pass the information into the Statistics module. Finally, the statistics module does the necessary calculation based on the information and produces information that can be understood by the user. [1]

This system is thus very useful to the users and a network administrator in particular who is generally responsible for monitoring things on a network.

The program is a network analyzer (also known as protocol analyzer & packet sniffer), that performs real-time packet scanning, 24x7 network monitoring, advanced protocol analysis, in-depth packet recording, and automatic expert diagnostics. Allows you to get a clear idea of ​​a complex network, analyze package quality, and solve network problems.

This program is useful for a network manager who needs to identify, diagnose, and resolve network problems, a company manager who wants to monitor users' activities on the network and ensure that the organization's communication assets are secure, or an advisor who should resolve them promptly. network problems for customers.
