TracePlus/Winsock

TracePlus/Winsock is a powerful application-level performance and diagnostic tool for Win32 platforms.

Featuring an integrated data analyser, TracePlus moves beyond the realm of displaying API calls, being both a full-featured Winsock spy and data analysis tool.

Using its unique visual realtime display of Winsock activity, you can spot timing-sensitive Winsock problems, view error codes for failed Winsock functions, reverse engineer other Winsock applications without source code, interpret conversations between two Winsock applications, and learn how Internet protocols are implemented.

TracePlus will prevent a program from detecting that it is being run in a debugger.

Some well known applications have code in them that prevent applications such as TracePlus from revealing the way that they operate. Such applications abort immediately after they are launched, or disable certain features of the application when a debugger is detected.

TracePlus is aware of several different methods by which applications can detect whether they are being debugged. Via these same techniques, TracePlus indicates to the application that in fact it is not being debugged. Such applications will then run normally inside of TracePlus.
