EtherPeek is an application of such power and clarity that we Mac aficionados have to sit up and applaud. Version 4.0 is a one-of-a-kind revision — adding great features such as advanced filters; report generation in HTML format; a real-time monitor mode; and multiple capture buffers, windows, and filters. Network administrators can use EtherPeek to find bottlenecks, test performance, and keep their networks safe.
Considering its power, setting up and using EtherPeek is simpficity itself. Just run the installer and launch the app. EtherPeek begins happily capturing packets, analyzing them, and sending them on their way. Setting up compficated logical filters for specific packets is also relatively easy with EtherPeek’s filtering system, perhaps this version’s best new feature. The toolbar ranks a close second, giving you easy access to the program’s deepest functions.
EtherPeek is a frighteningly broad-ranging tool. With it, you can capture every packet that moves on your network and work with the data inside it. So, be very careful about who gets access to EtherPeek.
If you run a large or mixed-system network, you need EtherPeek. Its exhaustive diagnostic, filtering, and reporting capabilities are a dream come true for anyone involved in troubleshooting and securing a network. EtherPeek 4.0 is truly a deep product.
