Which NetTools app should I use?

Start with the problem. Choose app-aware capture, live graph mapping, diagnostics, mesh defense, secure storage, or direct transfer.

Decision matrix

App roles

Application-aware visibility

WireTuna

Application-aware traffic visibility

Choose the adapter, use Unknown Activity or protocol filters, open flow details, and save evidence before blocking.

Connection mapping

NetView

Live network connection visualization

Install Npcap, run NetView.exe as Administrator, open the printed localhost URL, and inspect graph nodes plus the source-grouped side panel.

Network health diagnostics

NetEye

Continuous ping and traceroute diagnostics

Run NetEye.exe as Administrator, open the localhost dashboard, start with continuous ping, then trace the target if latency or loss appears.

Mesh defense

HoneyMesh

Distributed traps, XDP enforcement, and trusted mesh intelligence

Start in TEST mode, review the Live Threat Stream, then move selected interfaces and bans into ENFORCE only after allowlists and trust levels are understood.

Data protection

IronClad Vault

Local-first encrypted file storage

Create the admin account, store recovery_megakey.bin offline, classify imported files, and test recovery before relying on the vault.

Secure exchange

P2P Chat

Encrypted peer-to-peer chat and file transfer

Have one side host, generate a key, share IP/port/key out-of-band, connect from the client, then transfer only files staged in p2pchat_files.
