Sure if you just want to see what is sending traffic then the free netlimiter is all you need. But its not going to show you want its sending -- just from what process and to where and how much.. Not what. For that you need a sniffer.. So in conjunction they can be used together sure.

BTW -- if there is clutter, just filter out what you don't want.. Its quite easy to just capture say port 80 traffic, or just ftp traffic Or only traffic to and from a specific IP.

Daft question but can you apply a filter in Ethereal by process?

In Wireshark, you mean? We all know Ethereal no longer exists so stop harping on about the name like it means you know something or not...

In answer to your question, no you cannot, not by process... The best method here would be to find the suspected TCP/UDP port you believe it is using (netstat -b -a -n for example...) followed by a capture in Wireshark based on your IP address (if it's a remote capture) then base the filter on the TCP/UDP port.

This would be the best way you could do it - the other "chatter" you probably see is the normal traffic going to/from computers/internet etc and best way is the filters in wireshark.

Good luck!

      This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99 by Taras Buria Those looking for an affordable, high-resolution webcam from a reputable manufacturer can check out the latest deal from Acer, which puts its 4K webcam at a solid price. Thanks to a 14% discount, you can buy this all-metal 4K webcam from Acer for just $59.99. Despite the affordable price tag, the webcam has a pretty large 1/2" CMOS sensor manufactured by Sony. Apart from its size, it supports additional conveniences, such as high dynamic range and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). Plus, the camera ensures you do not have to buy additional audio equipment, as it comes with two built-in high-sensitivity microphones, a built-in background noise filter, and the ability to pick up your voice from up to 2.5 meters away. Acer is not cheaping out on materials, and the webcam is enclosed in a more premium metal case, which is also good at heat dissipation (high-resolution cameras can get quite hot). And to make sure no one is peeping at you when the camera is in use, there is a magnetic cover also made of metal. Additional conveniences include an LED status indicator and a built-in mount that lets you place a camera on a tripod.
