Packet visualization with Rumint

by Jack Hughes on August 23, 2007

Security Data Visualization Book Cover

One of the tools recommended in Chris Sander’s Practical Packet Analysis book is called Rumint.

Rumint is a free, open source packet visualization tool available for Microsoft Windows (written in Visual Basic.)

Roomint’s author, Greg Conti, has a book to be published by No Starch Press called Security Data Visualization.

One problem I’ve run into with Rumint is that it doesn’t work on my setup. I run Windows XP and I’ve got WinPCap 4.0.1. It looks to me like a problem between Rumint and the latest version of WinPCap. The problem is that Rumint won’t show any network interfaces to sniff, so obviously things don’t work too well. ;)

I just updated Rumint (v2.14) with a new network interface library, it should now work fine with WinPcap 4.01. The updated version is available at http://www.rumint.org. Thanks. Greg
