News

• 11/04/2009 - We are pleased to announce the release of a new parser package, Microsoft_SQL.msi. This package contains parsers for the Microsoft SQL Server Protocols published in the MSDN Open Specifications. It depends on the Microsoft_Parsers.msi. So in order to use the SQL parsers correctly, you must first install Microsoft_Parsers.msi, then the Microsoft_SQL.msi.
• 01/05/2009 - A tutorial has been posted for writing parsers. It demonstrates a basic introduction to parser development through a guided example parser. Please feel free to download the PDF here: Tutorial, Writing a Parser from Wire to Window.
• 12/05/2008 - We have branched our source code repository on CodePlex. There are now two main directories which both contain full parser sets. The Develop Branch contains the latest changes from the parser developers; however, it may not be completely stable. The Verified Build Branch is a copy of the latest development branch which has passed a set of tests, it should be fairly stable.

Introduction
This project contains the latest updates for the Network Monitor parsers. All parser development has been done through this CodePlex site since November 2008, and we welcome your input as well as your parser bug reports.

While parsers for many protocols have always shipped with Network Monitor, we have now decided to ship parsers for the protocols described in the Windows Open Protocol Specifications and to move parser development into the CodePlex open source environment. This is a big step for us, so please be patient as we get settled in.

With the launch of this portal, we have also released an updated set of parsers for Network Monitor 3.2. We have moved our development completely within CodePlex so parser developers, enthusiasts, and the like can have access to the latest parser changes immediately.

If you are interested in helping us with the development of the Network Monitor Parsers, please see our Getting Started guide.
