Abstracts: Network packets contain a lot of useful information about network activity that can be used as a description of the general network behavior. Network analyzer becomes a useful tool for system and network administrators to capture such kind of network information. In this, an implementation of a network analyzer based on network packet sniffer, will be described. This fully configurable tool concentrates particularly on its flexible input and output options so that it can easily be incorporated into other network tools to perform more complicated tasks, such as real-time or offline network intrusion detection in future. This tool is also helpful in fetching local computer details, hardware scanning, port scanning and monitoring network traffic that will be useful in enhancing the network security and hence preventing misuse in a network.
