Internet Processes Monitor for Windows

Monitor network modules and processes

Steve Chaison developed Internet Processes Monitor (IPM) for Windows. This utility is compatible with Windows 10 and offers endpoint diagnostics as well as cybersecurity incident response. The app is free to download, but donations are appreciated.

IPM monitors the creation and maintenance of UDP/TCP connections on your computer. It displays details about remote hosts and executable module names, which are used to create your internet connections. It can be used to enhance your internet security by identifying suspicious modules and unreliable processes. Alternate programs Kaspersky Internet Security and Comodo Internet Security are also available.

Internet Processes Monitor displays TCP and UDP connections live. This allows you to monitor remote hosts, modules, and processes. Internet applications use TCP protocol to transfer data between hosts on IP networks. This includes everyday actions such as browsing, sharing files and sending emails via a local network. IPM monitors the connections that your computer makes for each of these actions.

IPM monitors the TCP and UDP connections that you are currently using, as well as the sending of connectionless data via UDP. It can be used to check for new connections and identify the processes that created them. IT administrators can use it to intervene in cases where there are bottlenecks or breaches. It is portable and easy-to-use on any PC. However, you will need to run it as an administrator.

IPM is a handy tool that can help you identify connectivity issues and suspicious connections. This tool is not essential for regular users but it is vital for network administration and cybersecurity.

The integrated logging options may not be available by default. To save log data, you will need to select the CSV format. IPM displays the active TCP/UDP connections in the main window when monitoring begins. It also includes details such the below and is stored in the CSV logfile.
