Deciphering Encoding: Packet Analyzation Tools

I am looking for better tools than wireshark for this. The problem with wireshark is that it does not format the data layer (which is the only part I am looking at) cleanly for me to compare the different packets and attempt to understand the third party encoding (which is closed source). Specifically, what are some good tools for viewi...

Can WinPcap be used to capture network traffic per process?

On Windows I am loading a DLL and running it. The DLL performs a lot of network activities. Now I need to monitor which url and hosts the DLL connects to. I think using a packet sniffer might be a good option. Can WinPcap be used to capture traffic from a single process? I can't find any such option in the docs. If that can’t be done us...

Winpcap simple question - how to send packets to a specified ip/port?

I read the tutorials and so, but I am not getting it. It does let you send packets, but how can you tell Winpcap where to send those packets?

Winpcap - Having troubles sending data

I'm using Tamir's SharpPCap to try to send data to my msn. Currently, for testing purposes, my idea is to wait for any msg received by [email protected] and then send the packet itself again, that is, make any message appear repeated forever on my msn. I thought this had to work, as I am simply getting the packet itself I receive, and rese...

Sniffer for localhost (Windows OS)

I am looking for a sniffer that can work with the loopback address in Windows. So far, I found Microsoft Network Monitor which is a nice tool, but for localhost it's useless because on Windows, localhost packets don't pass through the regular network stack, so they're invisible to an ethernet sniffer like MS Network Monitor. How do you...

Is there a library that can perform packet analysis and block certain packets from being sent?

I found Jpcap, however it only meets half my requirements - it does not allow me to block packets, as stated in the FAQ. I would prefer a cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) solution, but if one does not exist, OS-specific solutions would be acceptable. My goal is to, under certain conditions, block access to certain Internet and netwo...
