IP Packet Sniffer

Stay tuned - updates to this program are in the works. :)

Current version: 1.2

 

IP Packet Sniffer employs a "raw" socket to capture IP protocol packets traveling over your local network. These packets contain data and communications information traveling between computers. The packets may originate from or be addressed to your computer. On the other hand, the data could be passing between computers that are not yours.

How can this tool help protect your privacy? Malware and trojans on your system or computers on your network will communicate with the outside world. This tool provides a free and simple way to detect those communications.

DARN: Under Windows XP(at least under SP1), outgoing IP traffic can not be captured from your own computer.
This bugs me a lot -- the OUTGOING traffic is really of interest to me. Rogue programs on my box will be making outgoing connections, but now I'll have to use a driver-level (tcp/ip stack level) sniffer to collect that information.
