Many users find it essential to know everything their processes do on the Internet. That is why at NeoTeo we want to introduce you to Wtrace, a command-line tool that records I/O operations and RPC and ALPC activity in real time for any program installed on your computer. This monitoring of your machine's Internet activity lets you track any environment running on your system.
How to Monitor Internet Activity and Operations in Real Time
Step one: The first thing you need to do is open a Command Prompt window as administrator, in the same folder where you downloaded Wtrace (where the .EXE file is located).
Step two: Now we are going to start tracking programs. You can track running environments, or start execution and tracking at the same time. To track a running utility, you will need to obtain its PID (in the Details tab of Task Manager).
Step three: From the CMD, you will need to type the following command:
wtrace "process name with path" or "ID of the running process"
From that moment, the platform will start monitoring the program. You will get the report when you close the program or when you press the key combination "Ctrl + C". The report will be shown in the CMD window and there is no option to export it.
With these three steps, you have successfully monitored the Internet activity of a process and file operations in real time. Although Wtrace is a command-line platform, it is very easy to use. Undoubtedly, developers will get the most out of the tool, as they can verify their program's activity in real time.
