Microsoft Message Analyzer
by Microsoft
Microsoft Message Analyzer is a tool for capturing, displaying, and analyzing protocol messaging traffic and other system messages on Windows networks.
Microsoft Message Analyzer (MMA) is an advanced network protocol analyzer built for a wide range of protocol analysis tasks. MMA is an intuitive and powerful tool for analyzing and troubleshooting network communication issues. It provides a comprehensive view of the network traffic, including the underlying protocols, message headers, and payloads.
MMA is capable of capturing and analyzing messages from a wide range of protocols, including HTTP, FTP, SMTP, IMAP, POP3, SSL/TLS, and many others. MMA is designed to provide comprehensive insights into the network traffic and to help identify and resolve communication issues.
• Capture and analyze network traffic
MMA enables you to capture, analyze, and display network traffic from a variety of protocols, including HTTP, FTP, SMTP, IMAP, and POP3. The captured traffic can be displayed in a variety of formats, including tree, table, and chart.
• Protocol decode and decryption
MMA can decode and decrypt many protocols, including SSL/TLS, HTTP, FTP, IMAP, and POP3. This allows you to view the underlying messages, headers, and payloads.
• Message filtering
MMA enables you to filter messages based on criteria such as source, destination, protocol, message type, and payload. This makes it easy to focus on the messages that are relevant to your analysis.
• Network Topology
MMA provides a graphical view of your network topology. This makes it easy to identify and analyze communication paths between nodes.
• Message summary
MMA offers a message summary view that provides an overview of the network traffic. This makes it easy to identify trends and patterns in the data.
• Diagnostic Tools
MMA includes several diagnostic tools that can be used to identify and troubleshoot network communication issues. These tools include packet loss analysis, latency analysis, and connection analysis.
• Visualization
MMA offers several visualization tools that can be used to better understand the network traffic. These tools include charts, graphs, and tables.
• Customizable Reports
MMA enables you to create customizable reports that provide detailed insights into the network traffic. These reports can be exported to PDF, CSV, or HTML formats.
• Automation
MMA offers an automation framework that allows you to automate capture and analysis tasks. This makes it easy to automate repetitive tasks such as capturing and analyzing network traffic.
