Network Monitor 6.43 Release Notes

Network Monitor - Network Traffic Monitoring, Protocol Analyzing and Data Logging Software

Release Notes for Version 6.43

BSOD on Windows 8: Network Monitor may cause the computer to crash after returning from sleep on Windows 8. Fixed.
Large network adapter count bug: Network Monitor may fail to list the available network adapters if there are many of them on a computer.

Process packet data with Hex Editor Neo: New "Process with Hex Editor Neo" command has been added to Raw Data View visualizer. It copies the selected packet data and opens it in installed copy of Hex Editor Neo.

Packet Builder: New component Packet Builder allows you to create packets either from scratch, from predefined or custom templates or from one of the monitored packets. Created packets may later be ordered and sent to the network via one of the installed network adapters.

Next Connected Device: Network Monitor can now automatically attach to next connected network interface.
Process name resolving: Network Monitor now displays the sending or receiving process name, in addition to its ID.
Root protocol selection: Network Monitor now supports changing the root protocol in packet visualizer. For example, this lets you to focus on a single high-level protocol such as HTTP or FTP.
Multiple packet selection in Packet View: It is now possible to select multiple packets in a data visualizer for copying and exporting.
Updated address format: Network Monitor now uses another display format for network addresses, such as IP or MAC, better adhering to standard address representation.
Protocol definition files fixes and updates: This release introduces updates and fixes to protocol definition files, notably the DNS protocol.
Improved setup speed: Speed of Device Monitoring Studio setup application has been greatly improved. Installer now needs to update less files and system settings and operates much quicker.
Improved application start-up time: We have improved the applicaiton start-up time by reducing time required by various components to initialize and allowing several components to initialize in parallel.
Improved performance: This release has improved performance thanks to optimization of various core components and the use of new compiler.

Major Release: This is a major release of Network Monitor (previously Accurate Network Monitor).
Integration with Device Monitoring Studio: The application is now finally fully integrated into Device Monitoring Studio.
Performance Improvements: We have spent a lot of time improving the performance of newtork monitoring module. As a result, on a fast computer, Network Monitor can handle nearly real-time gigabit data transfers over the network.
Advanced Filtering: It is possible to create a sophisticated Capture and Display Filters for a monitoring session. A filter is a special conditional expression that can refer to any supported protocol field and use standard logical or arithmetic operations on them.
A Lot of Built-In Protocols: Application comes with many well-known protocols definitions, including IPv4, IPv6, TCP, UDP and others. Their definition is available and can serve as a basis for customization (see next feature).
Custom Protocol Definition: It is possible to define custom protocols and adding them to Network Monitor's list of supported protocols. When the packet is received, it is automatically parsed according to protocol definition and displayed in the easily readable format.
