Explanation

Wireshark is the industry-standard, open-source network protocol analyzer used to capture and inspect network traffic in real time. It records full packet captures (PCAPs) and provides deep inspection of hundreds of protocols. Smart IP Scanner and Angry IP Scanner are network host discovery tools that scan for live IP addresses - they do not capture packets. Netman is not a widely recognized packet capture tool. Wireshark is the definitive answer for packet capture and analysis.
