While getting caught up on my podcast back log I was listening to an episode of Mind of Root. In it Steven Murawski mentioned my Get-Packet and Analyze-Packet PowerShell scripts. One of his (legitimate) issues with Analyze-Packet was the way it presented results. The original version simply wrote information to the console. It didn’t use a good object model so that you could format the results the way you wanted. I took this as a challenge to improve the script.

Analyze-Packet
If you’ve been trying out the Get-Packet script you’ve seen that there is a great deal of information. I wanted an easy way to analyze the data so I put together a script called Analyze-Packet that will slice and dice a saved network trace and produce a summary report.

I came across a wicked PowerShell script (Trends in Technology: Powershell: IP Packet Sniffer Script ) that is essentially a PowerShell packet sniffer. How cool is that! It certainly won’t replace full blown sniffers like WireShark but I love having a PowerShell window open watching packets. Yea, I need to get out more.
