The development of computer networks in the IT industry passes very quickly, trying to satisfy constantly increasing demand for fast and high-quality connection to the global Internet network. That is why, there is a need for the development of the specialized software (sniffer), which would simplify the work of system administrators in debugging of networks and would allow less competent experts in this sphere to start performing such work.The analysis of the systems of analogues, which have a number of disadvantages, the main of which are the presence of console interface only and difficulty of use because of the increased requirements for the user’s knowledge in the field of network technologies was conducted.Some of them support Linux systems only, that makes them unsuitable for the use on most desktop computers. The considered systems do not have the realized construction of graphical results that could be quite a valuable tool in the study of networks. Therefore, there is a need for the development of the specialized software, which would simplify the work of system administrators in debugging of networks and would allow less competent experts in this sphere to start performing such work.The analysis of approaches to the solution of the problem of network traffic monitoring and processing of its results was carried out. Modern network systems and problems, which arise in the study of their condition, were considered.As a result of the analysis of existing methods for the study of network systems it was proposed to use the method of listening to the network interface as the way of the study of network systems for further system administration.
