NetResident®

NetResident is a network content monitoring program that captures, stores, analyzes, and reconstructs network events such as e-mail messages, Web pages, downloaded files, instant messages and VoIP conversations. NetResident uses advanced monitoring technology to capture the data on the network, saves it to a database, reconstructs it, and displays this content in an easy-to-understand format.

While NetResident is similar to network analyzers in many respects, it focuses on high-level protocols that are used to transfer content over the Internet or LAN. With NetResident, you don't need a profound understanding of networking technologies, have to use complex packet capturing and analysis software, or dig through network packets trying to reconstruct the actual data; NetResident does all the work for you and presents only the Web pages, e-mail messages, or downloaded files as requested.

NetResident is used by network administrators to enforce IT policy, by parents to monitor their children’s communication on the Internet, and by forensic experts to gain crucial information.

If you are one of the many network professionals throughout the world who uses TamoSoft's network monitoring solutions, CommView or CommView for WiFi, you may want to use NetResident for processing the log files generated by these packet monitoring packages and retrieve e-mail messages, Web pages, and other types of content for quick analysis.

Be sure to read our white paper, Promiscuous Monitoring in Ethernet and Wi-Fi Networks, that examines the problems related to the deployment and usage of software-based network monitoring solutions in wired and wireless LANs. It demonstrates the methods of achieving network traffic visibility in various network configurations that include hubs, switches, routers, etc.
