LanDetective Professional Description
LanDetective Professional is a network monitoring application whose purpose is to help you track Internet activity of LAN users. You don’t have to deploy it on the target computers, only the monitored users need to share the same network.
Monitoring options
The utility is able to keep an eye on both incoming and outgoing emails for SMTP, POP3 and IMAP connections, as well as a host of public email clients. You can view intercepted emails, email headers and save attachments.
In addition, you can monitor chat traffic generated by ICQ, Yahoo! Messenger, Jabber, IRC and other IMs from online social networking sites such as Facebook.
Aside from email and chat interceptions, you can track data transferred via HTTP connections, scale images to fit a maximum size, view FLV files using the built-in FLV player, check out HTTP headers and extracted data via the POST method, extract attachments, as well as view Base64-encoded passwords for accessing websites and web proxies.
Last but not least, the FTP traffic monitoring mode supports both active and passive FTP connections.
Clean feature lineup
The program reveals a straightforward layout that allows you to easily switch between the key monitoring options, namely web, FTP, mail and chat. In addition, you can start or stop the monitoring process with a single click.
Filters
You can work with a wide range of filters for sorting out data by IP address, IP subnetwork or MAC address. Plus, you can filter web info by URL, media type (MIME type), HTTP method (GET, POST) or file size, while FTP details can be viewed by filename, account, or file, size. Emails may be filtered by sender or recipient’s address.
Logs, reports and other handy features
LanDetective Professional offers you the option to store and view intercepted data with the aid of logs. You may filter the log information by date, time, service, sender, MAC address or other criteria.
The tool is also able to generate reports and graphs on captured data. Graphs can be exported to PNG, JPG, GIF, or BMP file format, and reports to XLS.
You can capture traffic from switch-based and Wi-Fi network and import captured data from other network sniffers, such as Wireshark, Microsoft Network Monitor and CommView.
