Wireshark (formerly known as Ethereal) is a free network protocol analyzer for
Unix and Windows.  It allows you to examine data from a live network or from a
capture file on disk.  You can interactively browse the capture data, viewing
summary and detail information for each packet.  Wireshark has several powerful
features, including a rich display filter language and the ability to view the
reconstructed stream of a TCP session.
