As of 2004.April.25, an issue in which NetworkActiv PIAFCTM Packet Driver only captured the outgoing network traffic on the Realtek RTL8139 (and possibly other adapters) has been resolved.

As of 2004.April.22, NetworkActiv PIAFCTM Packet Driver supports Windows(c) 2003.

Description:

Unlike an ordinary packet analyzer, NetworkActiv PIAFCTM allows you to choose between two different modes of analyzation,

Mode 1 (Packet Interceptor)
While in this mode, PIAFCTM captures and analyzes network data packets. PIAFCTM allows you to view special information encoded in each packet such as the source and destination IP addresses, the source and destination ports, and many other pieces of information. When capturing using the NetworkActiv PIAFCTM Packet Driver, data is captured at the ethernet level allowing you to see the MAC (Media Access Control) addresses of each computer from which you have received packets. Many packets can be captured in a short period of time, and so you may not wish to view them all. With PIAFCTM, you can filter the capturing of packets by IP address, port, packet size, protocol, and/or text-sub-string searching of each packet's content. Also, you can search for a text-sub-string within the current list of packets, save the list of packets to a text file, view the data payload content of each packet (in Hex, Decimal, Text, or standard Hex+Text style), and more.

Mode 2 (HTTP File Interceptor)
With this mode, you can capture images, web-pages, web-page initiated HTTP downloads, and more. This is done by the automated capturing and analyzing of HTTP (Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol) specific packets. When PIAFCTM sees an HTTP file transfer hidden in the mass of packets, it starts collecting the packets associated with the file being transferred and when it has received all of them, it saves the file to your disk (at a location chosen by you). You can filter the saving of files by IP address, port, file extension, and/or file size.

Key features only available in the full version:

• NetworkActiv PIAFCTM Packet Driver. This allows for ethernet level capture and dual direction capture with most (if not all) ethernet devices on Windows(c) XP.

• Packet Mode - Fields for viewing information specific to ARP.

• Packet Mode - Option to save packets in hex and text simultaneously.

• Packet Mode - Functionality to load saved dump files back into the program (if desired, you may control which packets are loaded by way of filtering).

• General option - minimize to the system tray.

• File Mode - Save files in sub-folders based on IP addresses and/or file extension.

• File Mode - Much better filtering options including file extension filtering.

• IP address filtering may be applied to entire IP address ranges.

• Tool - NetworkActiv Base Encoder/Decoder v1.0.1. This allows you to convert between Base64, Hex, and Text... All with ease.

• Packet Mode - Hex Viewer for a better binary viewing experience.

• Ability to save and load Packet and File filter profiles.

• The size and position of the main mode windows are saved on exit and restored on program startup.

Additional features only available in the full version:

• General option - minimize on "Close" / "X", only exit when "File->Exit" / "Exit" is chosen.

• General option - automatically start listening after program loads.

• General option - automatically minimize after program loads.

• Packet Mode - Packet list column order can be changed; New order and sizes will be saved on exit.

• Packet Mode - Drop-down box for choosing data level to view from.

• Packet Mode - Fields for viewing MAC addresses and Ethernet protocol number.

• Better dialog for reverse resolved addresses allows you to copy and/or save text.

• File Mode - Some more advanced settings.

• "Tools" menu.

• Packet Mode - Option to append saved data instead of overwriting file.
