• Its free, but I think there are better alternatives.

  CableguyTKFebruary 2, 2006

  Pros

  Its free. <p>Associated with a good name...AirSnare includes Ethereal in its installer here on Download.com.

  Cons

  The program is using the same code base as GAIM, gtk, and it looks it. Requires a LOT of files to be installed for use, just because of the nature of the code. <p>You aren't getting the nice XP look and feel that you would get with other free Packet Sniffers such as WhatIsTranferring? and EtherSnoop.
