Bandwidth Monitor is also unique in that it allows you to create custom profiles. The profiles tell Bandwidth Monitor which packets are to be recorded. This allows services such as HTTP, FTP, and SMTP to be separated and collected for specific readings.

It uses the "NET SEND" command (Messenger Service), you can thus send messages to anyone, even if they dont have QuickMessenger.

Mode 1 (Packet interceptor)
Receive and analyze IP packets from your network or the internet. Analyze only the packets of interest to you by way of filtering; this filtering may be done by IP address, port, packet size, protocol, or sub-string searching of packet content. Also, you can search for a sub-string within the current list of packets, save the list of packets to a text file, view the contents of each packet, and more.

Mode 2 (HTTP file interceptor)
This mode collects packets of the HTTP protocol, analyzes the packets, constructs them into usable files, and then automatically saves these files to a user specified directory. These files may be web-pages, pictures, videos, downloads, and more. You may filter the saving of files by IP address, port, and/or file size.

Both modes have easy to use interfaces, while maintaining the ability to customize.

This is a great tool for network administrators, security professionals, and just about any advanced computer user with an internet connection.
