NetResident : Efficiently monitor network activity of individual or multiple PCs with this application that offers deep packet inspection and customizable alerts
Networks are ever present in today's interconnected systems. From small isolated local networks to computers linked via the Internet to the entire world, very few systems can be said to be truly unreachable. For everything related to monitoring the packets throughput through various ports and network adapters, NetResident provides a viable solution.
Monitor all network activity
Specifically, one can employ this application to keep track of every incoming or outgoing bit of information. To this end, the program can be configured to watch over all the traffic, or just specific tasks, such as FTP transfers, web downloads, or ICQ/AIM messages. A notable feature is that once traffic has been detected - regardless of its nature, one can view comprehensive details about it.For example, if monitoring simple web browsing activities, users can view the actual sites accessed by the computer. All the information gathered by the application is stored in a database, which ensures data persistence and security; selective export tasks can be issued and database size rules can be instituted to prevent wasting system resources.
Watch for certain protocols being used
Another notable feature is the ability to create highly specific simultaneous monitoring jobs. For example, one can create several customized jobs to keep track of only FTP transfers, mail clients, or VOIP protocols, respectively. Breaking the analysis into smaller parts ensures useless data does not clutter the results.The application can be configured to watch all adapters present on the machine and remote connections to the service are also possible.
An asset for overseeing all packets exchanged via the network
To conclude, NetResident is a valuable tool for network administrators who want to keep track of all the packets transferred via any ports or adapters. The application can be configured to track specific tasks and multiple concurrent operations are supported.
