Anyone know of a program that monitors connections to the internet, and displays where applications are connecting to? I have this one program that I’m wondering where it connecting to.
Depends what sort of detail you require. Here are some usual suspects:
TCPView : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx
Currports: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports.html
Smartsniff: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/smsniff.html
Socketsniff: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/socket_sniffer.html
Not forgetting natstat and of course connection information in the summary screen of CIS
If you need more detail, then Wireshark : http://www.wireshark.org/
You mean something that shows the country and city names?
No no, the site/location address. Like a download manager may be downloading from “somesite.com/files/secrets/hahasofunny.doc”. I would want to be able to tell that without the manager.
Thank you. Will those do what I described above?
TCPView and Currports allow you to resolve names from ipaddresses.
TCPView:

That is showing the domains and subdomains, but not the directories and exact location of what it is downloading.
Sorry, your original question didn’t specify that you required such detail.
I don’t personally know of any application that will provide the information you are looking for.
