LinkFerret Monitors and Analyzes both Ethernet and 802.11B Networks.
Baseband Technologies announces the release of LinkFerret version 3.06, an Ethernet and 802.11B network monitor and analyzer for Windows platform.
Worcester, MA (February 7, 2003) Baseband Technologies announces the release of LinkFerret version 3.06, an Ethernet and 802.11B network monitor and analyzer for Windows platform. LinkFerret is a simple yet powerful monitor built to fit the needs of the network administrator, protocol developer, and the security-minded individual.
The capabilities of the LinkFerret monitoring tool have been extended to provide support for both Ethernet and 802.11B networking. Backed by fifty years of in-house driver development experience, Baseband Technologies has created a set of custom drivers that provide true promiscuous 802.11B frame capture. All of the essential wireless monitoring functionality, including signal monitoring, channel scannning, and WEP decryption, are supported. With one tool, the two most common network topologies can be thoroughly covered. No plug-ins or add-ons are required. LinkFerret provides the frame capture functionality that is typically found only in monitoring products many times its cost and it supports a variety of standard trace file and report formats that make it easy to capture, store and share network traffic data.
LinkFerret Network Monitor will run under Windows 98/NT4/Me/XP, and Windows 2000. It requires a Pentium class machine, 6 megabytes of disk space and at least 64MB of RAM. Ethernet monitoring requires an Ethernet adapter capable of promiscuous reception. Wireless monitoring requires either a Cisco Aironet 340/350 or WaveLAN/Orinoco PCMCIA or PCI adapter. Wireless monitoring is not supported on NT4.
LinkFerret version 3.06 is available as of February 7, 2003. The price is $249.00 for the full program. A fully functional 30-day trial version can be downloaded from www.linkferret.ws.
