TCP/IP Packet analysis

[Jonny]

Hi all,

I am wondering if its possible to create a program to
analyse tcp/ip packets over a network in c#? If so how? I
have no idea where i would/should start.

Any hints/tips/tricks much appreciated thanks !

Jonny,

There isn't anything in the framework per se. You can probably fiddle
with some of the settings through the Socket class, but I think ultimately,
you will have to do some low-level manipulation. Fortunately, you can use
the Handle property to get the handle to the socket, which you can set the
properties on. You might also want to tinker with the SetSocketOption
method on the Socket class, as it might help with getting low-level access.

Hope this helps.

Jonny,

It sounds as if you might be looking for the Packet Monitor at www.mentalis.org

Check out http://www.csharp-corner.com/ and look under Networking Section on
the left. There is a simple sniffer example in their.
