the installation program will place an icon in the toolbar. double-click the icon to open the program. the winetool program may also be started by clicking “start/programs/ winetool/winetool.”
you will be asked to choose the network adapter to be analyzed.
if no choice is made, the default adapter will be chosen after 10 seconds. winetool will then run in the background and an icon will appear on the toolbar.
double-click the icon to bring the program to the foreground.
configuration
the winetool opens with the “configuration” page. here you may view the current configuration for this adapter. if required, click “help” for access to the html help files.
send packet
sends fixed length packets in the default pattern at one of two speeds, normal mode or turbo mode. the value of pks/s (packets per second) depends on the computer's performance.
packet generator
the “packet generator” allows you to send packets with a defined mode, length, and pattern.
the arrow icons allow you to navigate forward and backward through the pages.
send acpipacket
sends an acpi (advanced configuration and power interface)packet to wake up a sleeping computer.
receive packet-gauge
capture console
click “analysis” to open the capture console.
filter setting - mac address
sets the mac address of computers (stations) as filtering criteria.
you must enter a 12 digit mac address in the station 1 and station 2 fields (or enter “any”). click on the arrow symbols in the direction column to set the direction of the packet flow to be captured.
filter setting-ip address
sets the ip address of computers (stations) as filtering criteria.
enter an ip address in the station 1 and station 2 fields (or enter “any”). click on the arrow symbols in the direction column to set the direction of the packet flow to be captured.
filter setting - protocol
sets protocols as filtering criteria.
filter setting - pattern
sets the pattern and position as filtering criteria.
in the above example, “11 22 33 44 55 66 99 dd” is at byte position 0x23. therefore, winetool will only capture a packet with the same pattern (11 22 33 44 55 66 99 dd) in the same position.
fiter setting-buffer size
sets the hard disk buffer size for captured packets. the default is 300 kilobytes.
packet analysis
the packet analysis screen features three windows:
the top window gives basic information on captured packets, including the layer to which the packets belong.
the center window shows detailed data on each layer.
the lower window shows the hex and ascii code related to the selected data in the top window.
receive packet-detail
the “detail” page provides detailed network information and shows the packet size distribution, i.e, number of bytes with a size up to 64 bytes, number of bytes with a size of 65 to 127 bytes, etc.
