Abstract

This paper introduces the full implementation of software for the Packet sniffer desktop application that captures network data. The purpose of the network sniffer is to rewrite the C sniffer in Java and also to develop an application that consumes less memory on the hard disk. This function indicates the necessary requirement for designing a new application; developed in Java and consumes less memory on the hard disk. This application contains three modules that handle different tasks. This program can monitor network traffic, and analyze traffic patterns. This application does not transfer any data to the network, it has a friendly GUI and is very easy to install.
