Know who’s connected to the network

WhoIsConnectedSniffer is a free internet and network tool that gives you the capability to discover various devices that are currently connected to your system. This lightweight utility has the power to listen to numerous network packets placed on your network adapter with a help of a capture driver WinpCap or MS Network Monitor.

A list of all linked machines will be displayed on the application’s interface along with vital information associated with it. WhoIsConnectedSniffer is developed by a well-known team of software developers, NirSoft, who produced impressive programs like ControlMyMonitor, NirLauncher, and Wireless Network Watcher. 

Quick scan resulting in detailed reports

Through WinpCap or Microsoft Network Monitor, the WhoIsConnectedSniffer app is able to vigorously detect traffic. The driver kits simulate a packet listener that processes each of them. This solution makes use of different protocols including ARP, DHCP, UDP, mDNS, and BROWSER to determine the capture drivers installed in your computer. This way you’ll also have the liberty to select which driver you wish to use all throughout the monitoring stage.

After necessary capture drivers are identified, the robust network companion will quickly conduct its task, filling your screen with all computers and other devices deemed as connected. 

This process will only take a few minutes to finish. Once done, a comprehensive report detailing information such as IP and MAC address, computer/device name, description, operating system, network adapter producer, detection count, identified, protocols, down to the first and last date it was distinguished will be flash in the application’s interface. You’re free to export it locally to a text file or an HTML report.
