4.1.2 Installing EtherealWhat is Ethereal? Ethereal® is used by network professionals around the world for troubleshooting, analysis, software and protocol development, and education. Ethereal is one of the best graphical packet sniffer. Its graphical interface makes it easy to use and its big list of features make it very powerful in analyzing network traffic. Why Ethereal? We will use Ethereal in our project to capture the traffic coming to the snort system and make sure that it has been sent and received in the way we wanted. During testing you might be not sure if snort logged a specific alert because it is improperly configured or because the packet never came to the system. Ethereal will be an evidence to our testing project. Download Ethereal ethereal-setup-0.10.14.exe or any latest version from Ethereal website http://www.ethereal.com/download.html.
