TCP Viewer

TCP Viewer is a Windows utility designed to capture the traffic between client and server processes connected via TCP/IP. It allows you to study this information to debug protocol issues or to simply learn what kind of data travels between processes.

The entire installation procedure does not take a long time to finish. TCP Viewer is wrapped in a user-friendly, yet outdated interface, made from a single window with a well-structured layout.

You can get started by configuring settings when it comes to the remote host and port, along with local port number. Data begins to get transferred as soon as you give the command, so you can view the log buffer when it comes to the transferred and buffered packets for both client-to-server and server-to-client directions.

It is possible to copy this information to the Clipboard and paste it into a text document or print it for closer examination, as well as to pause and resume or complete stop the data transfer.

There were no kind of stability issues throughout our evaluation, since TCP Viewer did not hang, crash or display error notifications. It does not put a strain on computer performance either, thanks to the fact that it runs on a low quantity of CPU and RAM.

On the other hand, the software utility has not been updated for a pretty long time and it likely has compatibility issues with later Windows editions.
