The only sure-fire way of doing this is to deploy a wireless IDS/IPS system like AirDefense. (www.airdefense.net). They can terminate Rogue APs as they are seen and also look for many other issues as well. Spence P

Check out www.niksun.com. They have a number of writeups on how you can use an analyzer to see virii and worms traffic. SpenceP

Sniffer does not support non-ATM E3, just T3/DS3. You could try NIKSUN NetVCR (www.niksun.com), they provide an E3 Analyzer. SpenceP

You also might want to check out the most powerful Distributed Analyzer in the Marketplace today, NIKSUN NetVCR (www.niksun.com). These guys have been cleaning up against NetScout and Sniffer recently becuase they give you the ability to capture vast amounts of packets into a wrap database (from...

You could use a freeware program like Ethereal to capture the traffic (www.ethereal.com) and export the traffic from this in Sniffer format and use Sniffer for the decodes SpenceP

Unfortunately if your applications do not use standard port numbers still has no "decode as" functionality. You can put the trace files into a freeware program like Ethereal for this. SpenceP

Hi Everyone, Unfortunately, Sniffer does not decode WCP protocol. The only network Analyzer that does this well is the NetVCR product from Niksun (www.niksun.com). They decompress WCP traffic and store it uncompressed on their raid disks. It can then be exported to Sniffer format or decoded...

Also don't forgot that if your software license is for Sniffer PRO LAN only, not Portable Analysis suite, then you are not licensed for use at Gigabit speeds. The design of the software is such that it detects the card is Gigabit and then tries to load it's internal gigabit drivers as it is the...

When you install the agent on the machine it creates a drivers directory under program files\nai\dsproagentnt\, the LM2000 drivers can be found in here. Spencer P

Sniffer.sys is the driver which interfaces at the NDIS layer to capture traffic. As this is installed as a service it will always be present in memory, even if it is not actively used. Spencer P

The Sniffer is only designed to be used at Gigabit speeds with the NAI Gigabit analysis card. Because of the bottleneck of the PCI bus the Sniffer software is just not capable of wirespeed capture with a standard NIC. The NAI card, by using FPGA technology, is able to work at Full Duplex full...

Sniffer PRO cannot print it's summary decodes in colour. The only way to do this is to take a screen capture and print the graphics file. The best tool for screen capture is SnagIT. This can auto-scroll down the summary screen for you and print the screen to a large graphics file. Spencer...

Hi Elca, Unfortunately you have found one of the down sides of annotating the Expert Explain files. In the program directory of Sniffer you will find a file call xphelp.hlp. This contains all of the expert help details. Any annotations will be added to this file. You can back this up or share...

If people would find it useful, I'll write a Triggers FAQ for the site. I train customers at least once a week on this subject so I should be able to come up with a "Triggers Basics" guide fairly quickly. Spencer Parker Axial Systems
