February 26, 2007 "PCAGizmo" NDIS OID Tracing Tool Available for Download

 

The "PCAGizmo" software consists of NDIS 5 amd NDIS 6 filter drivers and a companion Win32 console application that work together to log NDIS OID requests and NDIS status indications as they are passed between NDIS miniport, filter and protocol drivers.

One use of PCAGizmo is to study 802.11 OID operations performed by wireless management software. Some output from PCAGizmo is provided in the article "NDIS IEEE 802.11 Notes" at NDIS.com. See http://ndis.com/papers/ieee802_11_notes.htm.

December 27, 2006 SniffUSB 2.0 Released

 

This is simply an update of Benoit Papillault's SniffUSB 1.8 to allow it to be built using newer and more readily available development tools. This update does not offer any new functionality, and is of interest primarily to developers wishing to examine the application and driver using a debugger.

November 6, 2006 NDIS Developer Tools Update (OIDScope V6.0.20.02)

More Information

PCAUSA has released an update to the OIDScope application that includes limited support Vista Native Wi-Fi. A rudimentary "DOT11" property page has been added that displays some simple DOT11 information.

This release includes a small modification that allows OIDScope to properly detect the Intel 3945ABG NIC and show the 802.11 property page on pre-Vista Windows versions.
 

March 25, 2005 Test TCP - Benchmarking Tool For Measuring TCP and UDP Performance
 V2.01.01.08 Update Released
More Information This update adds a new "-L ##" transmitter command-line option. The -L option allows the user to specify a desired data transmit rate in bytes per second. The PCATTCP TCP or UDP transmitters deliver message and datagram data to the network at the specified bytes rate.

This rate-limiting feature is of most use when testing using UDP.
 

November 21, 2004 Test TCP - Forms-Based .NET Framework TTCP Transmitter
More Information The TtcpTx application is a forms-based TTCP Transmitter. It allows easy entry of the basic TTCP test parameters and then performs the transmit operation using an instance the .NET TcpClient class. It's not perfect, but it is functional and may be useful to a few of you.

In progress is a similar TTCP transmitter for the .NET Compact Framework (Pocket PC), then distributed TTCP transmitters and receivers controlled by .NET Remoting.
 

November 1, 2004 TDIScope (V1.0.0.3)
More Information

During updates to the PCAUSA TDI driver samples in 2002 we started development of a TDI monitoring tool called TDIScope based on the TDI sample drivers. This work was never completed because of other commitments.

However, I recently needed to use the great TDIMon tool from SysInternals for some research and encountered a  nuisance. Basically, the TDIMon capture display gets filled with uninteresting IRP_TDI_QUERY_INFORMATION_EX  records. So, I decided to make a few essential fixes to the old TDIScope application to sort this out.

TDIScope is NOT intended to be a "competitor" to the great TDIMon tool from SysInternals.

The only redeeming virtue of the PCAUSA TDIScope is that is displays less information than TDIMon...

In some cases less is better.
 

September 7, 2004 NDIS Developer Tools Update (OIDScope V5.5.18.01)

More Information

PCAUSA has released an update to the OIDScope application that fixes a bug associated with detection of some 802.11g Wi-Fi adapters.
 

March 1, 2004 NDIS Developer Tools Update (V5.5.17.00)
More Information

The OIDScope application has been extensively reviewed as one part of the next release of Rawether for Windows. If you are using an earlier version of OIDScope you probably will want to update to this release. The 802.11 Property Page may be of particular interest to some developers. The ability to make a NDIS query on a custom OID may be of interest to others.
