The crazy vendor Packetbone releases their software for 2nd major version.

Why call them crazy?

PacketBone is the only vendor who provide the integration to make a packet analyzer embedded into Microsoft Windows and Office. Now, in the second release, they extend the integration with Wireshark in this recent release. The wireshark fruitful dissectors can be used to parse the packet and export the decode information into BoneLight XLView. It is quite useful.

Another interesting point is BoneLight 2.0 provides a IP Deduplicate feature. According to the experiences, many multiport capture will result duplicated packets, some earlier SPAN settings can lead to duplication too. With those confusing deplicated packets, the analysis feature in mainstream analyzers such as Sniffer, OmniPeek, Observer, Wireshark will work definitely poor and identify everything as retransmission.

Every packet fans should have a try on this, go http://www.packetbone.com
