Can anybody recommend an easy-to-use packet sniffer? My
firewall settings (Trend Micro Pc-Cillin 2002) are set
for maximum security, but lately I've found that two
ports (445 and 1025) are wide open, and the rest of the
first 1056 ports are closed but not stealth (with a few
exceptions). A few months ago, all ports were stealth and
only two (0 and 1) were closed and none were open.
Ad-Aware6 shows nothing. Virus scans are clean. The
Cleaner (a trojan detector) shows nothing.
I'd like to find out what is opening these ports and
causing my others ports to show as closed but not stealth.
I've downloaded Ethereal and the WinPcap downloads
required by it, but I can't install it; it is way to
complicated for me.
I'm using Windows XP home edition.
Can anybody help?
