Hi,

Question says it all really. I've looked briefly at Ethereal but couldn't make sense of what I was seeing. I just need something that lists files shared by users or internal IPs, in a nice humanly readable way!

Anything out there that does this?

thanks
 
In Wireshark, go to the statistics->Converstations table and you will see a list of ip addresses:port number

I would sort by Bytes and see if the top ones are using legitimate port numbers
