WhoIsConnectedSniffer - Detect who is connected to your network without scanning
WhoIsConnectedSniffer is a network discovery tool that listens to network packets on your network adapter using a capture driver (WinpCap or MS network monitor) and accumulates a list of computer and devices currently connected to your network. WhoIsConnectedSniffer uses various protocols to detect the computers connected to your network, including ARP, UDP, DHCP, mDNS, and BROWSER.
For every detected computer or device, the following information is displayed: (Some of the fields might be empty if the information cannot be found inside the packets) IP Address, MAC Address, name of the device/computer, description, Operating System, Network Adapter Company, IPv6 Address.
After collecting the connected computers/devices information, you can easily export the list to tab-delimited/comma-delimited/xml/html file.
Start Using WhoIsConnectedSniffer
Except of the capture driver, WhoIsConnectedSniffer doesn't require any installation process or additional dll files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file - WhoIsConnectedSniffer.exe
After running WhoIsConnectedSniffer in the first time, you should choose the correct capture driver and the network adapter you want to use.
After you choose the desired capture driver and the network adapter, WhoIsConnectedSniffer starts to listen the packets on your network adapter and updates the main window when a device or computer is detected.
You have to wait from a few seconds to a few minutes until the first computers/devices appear on the main window of WhoIsConnectedSniffer.
After collecting the connected computers/devices information, you can easily export the list to tab-delimited/comma-delimited/xml/html file by selecting all items (Ctrl+A), and then using the 'Save Selected Items' option (Ctrl+S).
Protocols supported by WhoIsConnectedSniffer
- ARP:WhoIsConnectedSniffer listens to this protocol to get the IP address and MAC address of computers and devices.
- UDP:When a computer broadcasts a UDP packet to all other computers, WhoIsConnectedSniffer extracts from it the IP address and the MAC address.
- DHCP:When a computer connects to the network, it usually sends a DHCP request. WhoIsConnectedSniffer uses this request to get the host name and IP address of the computer.
- mDNS:This protocol is used on Linux and Mac OS systems. WhoIsConnectedSniffer uses it to get the host name and IP address of the computer, and also the operating system (on Linux)
- BROWSER:This protocol is mainly used by Windows, but some Linux systems supports this protocol too. WhoIsConnectedSniffer uses it to get the name of the computer, description text of the computer, and the operating system.
