SmartSniff allows you to capture TCP/IP packets that pass through your network adapter, and view the captured data as sequence of conversations between clients and servers. You can view the TCP/IP conversations in ASCII mode (for text-based protocols, like HTTP, SMTP, POP3 and FTP.) or as hex dump. (for non text-based protocols, like DNS).
On Win2K/XP, SmartSniff is able to capture TCP/IP packets using raw sockets. This method has some limitations and problems, but it does not require the installation of a separate capture driver.
A better way to capture TCP/IP packets is to install the open-source WinPcap capture driver. This works on Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003, and functions better than the "raw sockets" method.
Writes settings to: Since release 1.35: application folder. Previous releases: Windows registry, but given the nature of the application, I think it can be accepted as portable.
How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch the application by double-clicking on smsniff.exe.
