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.
