Sockspy Description

Open source software that will allow you to monitor the conversation between a TCP client and a server Sockspy acts much like a gateway: it waits for a Tcp connection, then connects to the real server. Data from the client is passed onto the server, and data from the server is passed onto the client.Along the way, the data streams are also displayed in text widget with data sent from the client displayed in green, data from the server in blue and connection metadata in red. The data can be displayed as printable ASCII strings, or as a hex dump format of both hex and printable characters.Why might you want to use Sockspy? Debugging Tcp client/server programs, examining protocols and diagnosing network problems are top candidates. Perhaps you just want to figure out how somethings work. It's not a replacement for heavy duty tools such as 'tcpdump' and other passive packet sniffers. On the other hand, Sockspy does not require any special privileges to run (unless of course, you will try to listen on a Unix reserved TCP port less than 1024 - ports that are restricted).NOTE: Sockspy is licensed and distributed under the terms of the BSD License. Requirements: · Tcl/Tk 8.0 or later What's New in This Release: · timestamping · configuration file · cmdline display
