Nowadays, especially with more people working from home, the importance of looking out for security threats cannot be stressed enough. In addition to security, monitoring the network traffic can also help you unravel bottlenecks, downtime and other issues that can affect work and productivity. Portable Wireshark is a network sniffer or packet capture tool that enables you to take charge of all of the above network issues.

Before you can get started, first make sure that you have WinPcap installed on your computer, as the pcap function is the actual packet capturing code. Other than that, simply run the tool to decompress it in the desired location. The app comes with a relatively clean interface and even has a user guide that you should check out if you have not used similar tools before.

The highlight of the program stems from the fact that you can monitor all the connections and their corresponding in detail. The tool allows you to monitor for specific types of packets that you can highlight via the embedded color scheme. The tool can lend a hand with spotting suspicious traffic, individual applications and anything else you are interested in. As you would expect, the tool allows sorting, grouping and filtering the packets.

Regardless of the packets monitored, you can export the results in XML, CSV, TXT or Post Script and use other third-party tools to analyze them. For your convenience, the tool also supports decryption, read and write in multiple formats as well as a powerful macro system.

Portable Wireshark can come in handy for administrators who need to monitor packets passing along the network. Although it cannot send or alter packets, the tool enables live capture, sorting and advanced management, so it can come in handy for anyone monitoring for security and performance issues.
