PhatNet is described as a real-time analyzer that decodes and filters data transported over virtually any kind of Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN), both wired and wireless. It filters packet-based data by IP address, UDP port, TCP port, hardware address, or data string, and supports the creation of advanced filters for difficult-to-diagnose network problems.
PhatNet features an "unusually easy-to-use" graphical user interface (GUI) built on PhatWare's "award winning" Windows Mobile interface technology, according to Phatware. Additionally, the application has been tested and certified with the Microsoft
Designed for Windows Mobile logo for use with Windows Mobile 2002 and 2003 based devices.
PhatNet is available in two versions: Personal Edition and Professional Edition. PhatNet Personal Edition monitors PPP connections only; the Professional product also enables collection and filtering of network packets directly from the Ethernet network adapter in a promiscuous mode for all common forms of packet data and security performance information, allowing information to be exported in standard formats for charting and statistical analysis.
PhatNet is priced at $99.00 for the Personal Edition and $299.00 for the Professional Edition. Introductory discounts are being offered for a limited time.
