CommView® for WiFi

Wireless Network Monitor and Analyzer

WLAN Monitoring Made Easy
The rapid proliferation of wireless technology requires new tools for professionals who deal with thedeployment, maintenance, and security of WLANs, as well as network forensics. Meeting this need,
TamoSoft introduces CommView for WiFi, a powerful wireless network monitor, protocol analyzer, andpacket sniffer for 802.11
a/b/g/n/ac/ax networks.
Loaded with many userfriendly features, CommViewforWiFi
combines
performance and flexibility
with an ease of use
unmatched in the industry.
This application captures
every packet on the air todisplay important informationsuch as the list of accesspoints and stations, per-nodeand per-channel statistics, signal strength, a list of packets and network connections, protocol distribution
charts, etc. By providing this information, CommView for WiFi can help you view and examine packets,
pinpoint network problems, and troubleshoot software and hardware.

Protocol Decoding
With over 100 supported protocols, CommView for WiFi allows you to see every detail of a captured packet
using a convenient tree-like structure to display protocol layers and packet headers. Additionally, the productprovides an open interface for plugging in custom decoding modules.

WPA/WPA2 Security
Keeping pace with the latest security standards, CommView for WiFi can decode 802.11 authentication and
key exchange packets as well as perform on-the-fly and post-capture decryption of encrypted data packets.
A WPA/WPA2 passphrase is required for decrypting WPA/WPA2-encrypted packets in PSK (Pre-Shared Key)mode.

Reports
Customizable reports generated by CommView for
WiFi provide the user with detailed, real-time statisticaldata that covers network utilization, top LAN talkers,
protocol distribution, errors and more. Reports areavailable in HTML and text formats.

Reconstructing Data Streams
One of the most important features of a good packet analyzer is the ability to reconstruct TCP data streams,
providing the user with easy-to-read information on both current and past TCP sessions between different
network hosts. With just one mouse click, you can watch the contents of any TCP session, be it an HTTP
client-server conversation shown as an HTML page, or a POP3 mail download shown as ASCII text. Anothermouse click, and you can see the next session between the selected or any other hosts. If your WLAN traffic
is encrypted, you can use this functionality if the correct WPAPSK key is supplied.

Data ExchangeWith CommView for WiFi, sharing capture files is easy. Thisapplication can import and export data in many different
formats, including Tcpdump (libcap) and Wireshark (pcapng)
file formats. Additionally, it can establish a direct TCP/IP linkwith any other application and send the data being captured in real time for further processing to any custom
decoding or logging module. CommView for WiFi capture file format is open; it is described in detail in theproduct's help documentation.

Filters and Alarms
CommView for WiFi provides a flexible system of filters ideal for filtering out unimportant network traffic andconcentrating on critical packets and events. Filter
traffic based on the protocol, MAC or IP address, port,
text string; detect rogue access points; or use
advanced Boolean rules for creating complex
formulas. An array of alarm notification options will
warn you of important events by displaying amessage, playing a sound, launching an application,sending an e-mail message, etc.

Packet Generation
In addition to passive monitoring, the product is capable of sending arbitrary wireless packets through yournetwork adapter. This function is extremely useful for simulating abnormal traffic, network attacks, or for
testing firewalls and intrusion detection systems without having to set up any hardware or software. The
packet generation tool features a convenient data editor, protocol decoder, checksum corrector, template
repository and allows you to send individual packets or replay previously captured log files at an adjustabletransmission rate.
