Wireshark

[freakazoid]

It is technically portable, but it is a nuisance to run the uninstaller for WinPcap when you close Wireshark.

Old topic update: Wireshark is a very popular multi-platform OSS network troubleshooting utilities; despite the fact that it already provides a PAF package, it doesn't reaise much attention here (user Ameri-CAIN previously reported on Wireshark's portability, viewtopic.php?t=3909).

Wireshark is the world's foremost network protocol analyzer. It lets you see what's happening on your network at a microscopic level. It is the de facto (and often de jure) standard across many industries and educational institutions. Wireshark development thrives thanks to the contributions of networking experts across the globe. It is the continuation of a project that started in 1998.

Currently, Wireshark stable is v1.10.8 (changelog at http://www.wireshark.org/docs/relnotes/); the PAF package can be downloaded from http://www.wireshark.org/download.html.

@giulia:

For what purpose? Network monitoring? Network capturing? Portable alternative? Why you don't want to use Wireshark itself? They have portable version (in PortableApps format).
Anyway, check NirSoft's Network Monitoring Tools, e.g. SmartSniff

what do you use? if i may i ask you

Unfortunately, I can't make a recommendation. Although I take on a lot of different computer projects, for some reason I haven't needed to test a sniffing program in years.
