Security Forums - OmniPeek gets a 9 out of 10 rating!
December 28, 2005

"OmniPeek enjoys an embarrassment of riches. There are many, many features, and options to be used. This could well be likened to Ethereal on steroids."

A great many of us don’t really have a clue as to what happens when our computer actually retrieves our home page. Let alone what is occurring on a second by second basis on a corporate network. There are literally millions of packets flying around on a busy network. Ideally this very heavy traffic flow goes to and fro without any problems. What happens though if your network begins to experience some issues? Even worse what if those issues are resistant to your normal troubleshooting methodology? Well that is where OmniPeek Console comes into play. You really need not be a network protocol expert to diagnose complex protocol issues now. OmniPeek will not only break out the contents of a packet it will also perform expert analysis for you. Why bother bringing in a pricey consultant when you can make do with OmniPeek Console, and a little time. Read more
