BluetoothView is a small utility that runs in the background and monitors the activity of Bluetooth devices around you. For each detected Bluetooth device, it displays the following information: Device Name, Bluetooth Address, Major Device Type, Minor Device Type, First Detection Time, Last Detection Time etc. BluetoothView can also notify you when a new Bluetooth device is detected, by displaying a balloon in the taskbar or by playing a small beep sound.
Created for Windows XP/SP2, Windows Vista and Windows 7. "Other versions of Windows don't provide a build-in support for Bluetooth, and thus BluetoothView cannot work with them."

Last time I tried it, I was unable to redirect domains to 0.0.0.0 (an invalid IP, I know, but enabling much snappier redirection). Apart from that, it works well -- but there are other similar options. |

SmartSniff is a network analysis/diagnostic tool that allows you to capture TCP/IP packets that pass through your network adapter. You can view the captured data as sequence of conversations between clients and servers in ASCII mode (for text-based protocols, like HTTP, SMTP, POP3 and FTP) or as hex dump (for non text-based protocols, like DNS).
On Win2K or above, SmartSniff is able to capture TCP/IP packets using raw sockets. This method has some limitations and problems, but it does not require any additional installation. A better way to capture TCP/IP packets is to install the open-source WinPcap driver (see Dependencies), functional on Windows 98 and later.

Stealth: ? | Yes |
Unicode support: | Yes |
License: | Freeware |
How to extract: |
Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch smsniff.exe. Optionally, add IPToCountry.csv or GeoLiteCity.dat in the same directory as SmartSniff to show the Country of origin for each IP address. |

@kermode - it works on raw sockets in winXP SP3, so it is portable for some users at least. |
