I've got some application on my Windows XP machine that is generating an HTTP request to aaronsw.com every half hour. We've trapped the packets in wireshark, but wireshark doesn't tell what application generated the packets. Is there any utility that looks at network traffic AND tells what executable produced the traffic?
