Is this program safe to use- PacketMon?

[bigbob]

Hi,
I want to try this program PacketMon
http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/pmon.htm but am not sure if it is safe to download and use it. Does anyone know if it is a trustable and safe program to use? Thanx.

hi, bigbob :) i was going to try it once but it needs raw sockets to work and i have mine disabled so i ended up using SmartSniff (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/smsniff.html) which needs the WinPcap (http://winpcap.polito.it/install/default.htm) driver. but there shouldn't be any problem using analogx's PacketMon. i have analogx's programs in the past with no problems at all

Hi Ice60. SmartSniff looks like it may be a better program than PacketMon, I may give it a try instead. Thanx for posting about it. :)
