Mctv Packet Capturer1.0.0.0

Mctv Packet Capturer is a tiny and portable networking utility that captures IP packages from your network card and displays a wide range of useful traffic information.Thanks to its intuitive options, it can be handled even by less experienced users. Network administrators can use it to troubleshoot network issues, for instance.

No installation necessary

As Mctv Packet Capturer's wrapped in a portable package, you can save its executable file in any part of the hard disk and just click it to launch the tool. Another possibility is to keep it stored on a USB flash drive to be able to directly run it on any machine and study its network traffic. What's more, unlike most installers, it doesn't make any modifications to the Windows registry.

Clear-cut interface and options

The user-friendly GUI is made from a single window that doesn't put any emphasis on appearance, making Mctv Packet Capturer look like an unfinished project. It's easy to get around, though.All you have to do is select a network adapter from a drop-down list and click a button to initialize the scanning operation.

View and copy network-related info

This process doesn't take a long time, during which Mctv Packet Capturer starts writing the date and time, source and destination IP address, protocol type, s-port and d-port, along with additional information for each identified connection.Entries are highlighted in different color, depending on their protocol type: grey for TCP, blue for UDP, and yellow for IGMP. Plus, the app shows the current packet rate.Although it doesn't implement options for copying data to the Clipboard, exporting it or printing it for closer inspection, the first action can be done by selecting any cells from the main window and triggering the global Copy hotkey.

Evaluation and conclusion

There were no problems in our tests, thanks to the fact that the tool didn't hang, crash or display error notifications. As we expected, it didn't hog system resources.All in all, Mctv Packet Capturer may not be feature-rich but it provides you with a simple and effective method to analyzing general traffic details on your network adapters.
