Wireshark, as discussed earlier, is the most popular packet analyzer, and there is a reason behind its huge fan following. It hosts tons of features, supports a huge list of common and uncommon protocols with an easy-to-navigate GUI, and can be easily installed and used on popular operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X for absolutely no cost at all.
