Internet Explorer sniffer

Download our free Internet Explorer sniffer which is a useful tool for various tasks ranging from debugging your application to debugging web sites. Other Internet explorer sniffers can come with or without SSL/HTTPS decryption support, it can be Open source, or propietary.

Which to use? this is not an easy question to answer because the sniffer choice is really a combination or needs, budget and deployment environment. For example: you can’t use a GPL sniffer like Wireshark for a commercial application, but buying a SDK just to sniff a normal website for a one time debug isn’t making sense as well.

Sniffer API

Leave a reply

Sniffer API is needed when a programmer wants to have a sniffing capability in his application. First thing to check is whether the programmer needs stream sniffing or packet sniffing. The difference is so great that choosing the wrong one can doom the project (I’ll not get into the differences in this post)

There are a few options:

  • Open source sniffers, the programmer must keep in mind that if he wants a closed commercial application, GPL sniffers such as Wireshark is not the best idea.
  • Propietary sniffers, can be used commercialy, sometimes may look costly in compare to “free” sniffers, but will be much better in terms of TCO.
