What Network Sniffing Tools Do You Use?

Posted by Cliff on from the for-those-interested-in-what-is-out-there dept.

network-nose asks: "I work as a Network Administrator in a 500 user manufacturing facility in southeastern Wisconsin. My job is to keep the company running as close to 100% of the time as possible while trying not to spend any money on up to date hardware and software. As of late, we have been having quite a few network problems that can only really be resolved by sniffing packets. I am wondering what tools the rest of you network guys and gals out there use in a corporate environment for analyzing packets. Of course, the more reasonbly priced the better, but I know you usually get what you pay for."

    Good Bye Horses my love. Dedicated to kewsh

    You told me, I see you rise
    But, it always falls
    I see you come, I see you go
    You say, All things pass into the night
    And I say, Oh no sir I must say you're wrong
    I must disagree, oh no sir, I must say you're wrong
    Won't you listen to me
    You told me, I've seen it all before
    Been there, I've seen my hopes and dreams
    A lying on the ground
    I've seen the sky just begin to fall
    And you say, All things pass into the night
    And I say, Oh no sir, I must say you're wrong
    I must disagree, oh no sir, I must say you're wrong
    Won't you listen to me
    Good-bye horses I'm lying over you
    Good-bye horses I'm lying over you

    Dude, your first mistake was letting her over. Been there, done that. Next, is dating a chick that wouldn't have the respect for you to not talk about slobbing nobs (I assume that's the emoticon for slurping) on your machine, even after a break up. Fuck that, get her out and get on with your bad self.

    Replying to your sig:

    The simple truth is that interstellar distances will not fit into the human imagination

    Nor would they need to, since interstellar distances could not be covered within a single human lifetime. Why bother thinking about what you'll do once you get there? You will never get there in all probability.
