> Where hardware sniffers come in handy is if you’re a firmware developer who is diagnosing a problem with a USB device or host you’re creating, or maybe you’re a driver developer working on a driver for a USB host controller. You need to see exactly what’s happening on the USB data wires to make sure that every packet looks correct. Perhaps you suspect your device’s firmware has a bug where the DATA0/1 toggle isn’t behaving as it should.
>The really cool thing about this sniffer is that it integrates with Wireshark. You can make use of protocol decoders already built into Wireshark for interpreting USB packets, as well as its fancy filtering capability. Ellisys devices, in comparison, use a proprietary USB analysis program. Protocol decoding is unlocked for an extra charge of thousands of dollars.
