is a program for monitoring Internet and Local Area Network (LAN) activity capable of capturing and analyzing network packets. It gathers information about data passing through your dial-up connection or Ethernet card and decodes the analyzed data. With CommView you can see the list of network connections and vital IP statistics and examine individual packets. Packets are decoded down to the lowest layer with full analysis of the most widespread protocols. Full access to raw data is also provided. Captured packets can be saved to log files for future analysis. A flexible system of filters makes it possible to drop packets you don't need or capture only those packets that you wish to capture. Configurable alarms can notify you about important events, such as suspicious packets, high bandwidth utilization, or unknown addresses. CommView includes a VoIP module for in-depth analysis, recording, and playback of SIP and H.323 voice communications. CommView is a helpful tool for LAN administrators, security professionals, network programmers, or anyone who wants to have a full picture of the traffic going through one's PC or LAN segment. This application requires an Ethernet or Wi-Fi network card, or a standard dial-up adapter. CommView features an advanced protocol decoder that can parse over a hundred widely used network protocols. In addition, our new remote monitoring technology allows CommView users to capture network traffic on any computer where Remote Agent is running, regardless of the

    International Journal of Advanced Networking Applications (IJANA) ISSN No. : 0975-0290 137 Wireless Local Area Networks: Threats and Their Discovery Using WLANs Scanning Tools Ms. Rakhi Budhrani Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India. Dr. R. Sridaran, Dean, Faculty of Computer Applications, Marwadi Education Foundation’s Group of Institutions, Rajkot, Gujarat, India. ----------------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT-------------------------------------------------------- Wireless Local Area Networks frequently referred to as WLANs or Wi-Fi networks are all the passion in recent times. Wireless networks offer handiness, mobility, and can even be less expensive to put into practice than wired networks in many cases. But how far this technology is going provide a protected environment in terms of privacy is again an anonymous issue. Realizing the miscellaneous threats and vulnerabilities associated with 802.11-based wireless networks and ethically hacking them to make them more secure is what this paper is all about. On this segment, we'll seize a look at common threats, vulnerabilities related with wireless networks. This paper presents an overview some of the WLANs Scanning, Sniffing and Auditing tools available on the internet. This paper Reviews these tools along with their merits, demerits and how they can be used for hacking, exploiting security holes and their usage characterization in WLANs. Keywords - Current threats in WLANs, Exploiting Security, WLANs Scanning, WLANs Sniffing, Multifunctional, WLANs auditing tools penetrate any wired network via wireless network as Access Point (AP) is bridging between wireless and I.

What should you do? Go to each of the servers and make sure they are up and functioning? Check that your router is functioning? Check each computer for a malfunctioning network card? Now consider this scenario.You go to your main network switch or border router and configure one of the unused ports for port mirroring.You plug in your laptop, fire up your network analyzer, and see thousands of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packets (destined for port 25) with various Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.You investigate and learn that there is a virus on the network that spreads through e-mail, and immediately apply access filters to block these packets from entering or exiting your network.Thankfully, you were able to contain the problem relatively quickly because of your knowledge and use of your network analyzer.

  • Porting the AN2120/D UDP/IP Code to the Avnet Evaluation Board
    Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. Engineering Bulletin EB390/D 5/2002 Porting the AN2120/D UDP/IP Code to the Avnet Evaluation Board By: Steven Torres . Motorola . SPS TSPG 8-/16-Bit Division c n I , Introduction r o t The Motorola application note Connecting an M68HC08 Family Microcontroller c to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) Using the Point-to-Point Protocol u (AN2120/D) describes a methodology for connecting a Motorola d microcontroller to the Internet using the PPP protocol to exchange UDP/IP n data. UDP/IP (user datagram protocol/Internet protocol) is similar to TCP/IP, o except that being a connectionless protocol, it sends messages to a host c i without establishing a connection. m AN2120/D also includes the code that implements a UDP/IP protocol. This e code was first developed using the Cosmic development environment. Since S then, the UDP/IP code has been ported to Metrowerks CodeWarrior 1 e development environment and onto the 68HC908GP32 Avnet evaluation l board. a c The UDP/IP methodology provides a mechanism to allow a remote device, in s this case an M68HC08 Family microcontroller, to connect to an ISP. When the e remote device has established a connection with the ISP, the remote device e r can broadcast data to other hosts on the Internet. The UDP/IP network F connectivity is illustrated in Figure 1. 1.
