USBlyzer 1.3 is a Protocol Analyzer product from usblyzer.com, get 5 Stars SoftSea Rating, Universal Serial Bus (USB) protocol is very complex. So the USB support program present in Microsoft Windows? operating system family is also complex and provides a layered architecture where the system-supplied and vendor-supplied user- and kernel-mode components can be involved in communications over USB. Transactions performed over the USB are basically initiated by the user applications which communicate with the operating system by calling Windows API functions which in turn interact with appropriate device drivers providing access to a USB device through standard and vendor-specific interfaces.
What do you do when you want to know what is going on inside the Windows USB subsystem? What USB drivers are used to connect various peripheral USB devices to a computer? What I/O requests, support routines, structures, and interfaces the core components of the Windows USB architecture use to communicate with the USB devices? What you need is a Software USB Protocol Analyzer.
Analyze and Realize USB Protocol!
USBlyzer is an easy-to-use Professional Software USB Protocol Analyzer for Windows, which provides a complete yet simple to understand view for monitoring and analyzing USB Host Controllers, USB Hubs and USB Devices activity.
With USBlyzer you can:
* View all plugged USB devices in hierarchical auto-refreshed tree view along with detailed information about each USB device properties and their child components:
* USB device stack layout: Device objects for each driver that is involved in handling I/O activity.
* USB descriptors: Device Descriptor, Configuration Descriptor, Interface Descriptor, Endpoint Descriptor, etc.
* Information related to Plug and Play: Hardware IDs, Instance ID, Software Key, etc.
* Capture, decode and display important information going through USB device stack:
* USB-related requests such as URBs and structures used by USB device drivers.
* I/O Request Packets (IRPs) used by PnP subsystem.
* Kernel-mode and user-mode device I/O control requests (IOCTLs) used by USB client drivers and user-mode applications.
* Incoming and outgoing data traffic of the USB devices.
* Trace USB requests that the user-mode applications and USB device drivers use to communicate with the USB driver stack.
* Analyze USB protocol and USB devices I/O activity with ease.
* Filter to exclude non-essential information from the view.
* Search the captured data for the particular request types.
* Save captured data in binary file for later analysis.
* Export USB descriptor hierarchy and all captured data to a file.
* The detailed list can be seen on USB analysis features page.
USBlyzer is a complete program USB protocol analyzer, so you won't have to install any additional hardware or software. It runs on 32-bit version of Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista without any compatibility issues and does not require any service pack.
USBlyzer can be successfully used for:
* USB device driver development
* USB hardware development
* Debugging USB-related program and hardware
* Exploring USB devices descriptors and properties
* Capturing USB data transferred to or from the USB devices
* Reverse engineering the USB protocol
* Spying and analyzing the USB communications
* Learning more about USB internals
* Testing and troubleshooting program and hardware
* You'll find USBlyzer extremely useful for understanding how system-supplied and vendor-supplied USB device drivers communicate with each other and with the peripheral USB devices such as human interface devices (HID), printers, scanners, mass storage devices, modems, video and audio devices etc.
* USBlyzer is a featured software-based USB analysis tool that enables you to view USB device descriptors, capture and analyze USB devices activity in real time, save captured data for later protocol analysis. USBlyzer not only shows you a raw hex dump of the data that was sent to or received from a USB device. USBlyzer looks at that data and decodes it into human readable form. This feature outstandingly speeds up usb analysis efforts. Simple to use, this USB analysis program is the ideal companion for anyone who is developing USB device drivers and software.
* Explore USB Tree, Capture USB Drivers Activity, Analyze USB Devices Traffic
* The following are the key USB analysis features of USBlyzer:
* Completely customizable interface with docked windows and user-defined screen sets.
* Exploring USB Device Tree
* The USB device tree explorer visualizes USB tree topology. You can browse and explore all connected USB devices (including host controllers and hubs) and view the additional information about them.
* Display all plugged USB devices in a hierarchical auto-refreshed tree-view.
* View and explore the USB Devices and their components.
* View detailed USB-related information about each USB device: Device Descriptor, Configuration, Interfaces, Endpoints, etc.
* Verify the general compliance of all standard USB descriptors with the USB Specification.
* Capturing IRPs, URBs and IOCTLs
* The real-time capture feature allows you to intercept the IRPs, URBs, IOCTLs and data transferred through any USB device stack.
* Real-Time monitoring at any level in the USB driver stack from USB Host Controller to target USB Device.
* Capture several USB devices simultaneously.
* Separate log records for request issue and completion.
* Capture almost all types of USB Request Block (URB).
* Saving and Exporting USB Data
The save and export features are extended functionality of the USB analysis program allowing analyzed data to be saved for later analysis or exported in several formats. The export functionality can be used in conjunction with the filter for maximum versatility.
* Save captured data in binary file for later USB protocol analysis.
* Export Capture List content or any part of it to plain text, CSV, XML or HTML formats.
* Export USB Descriptor hierarchy of any USB Device to HTML formats.
