in thread simple perl sniffer

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately I think I can't use the modules you mentioned under NT: there's no libpcap under NT. Once again I think that I have to install also Linux on my laptop. As soon as I have Linux up and running I will surely try these modules and build my own simple sniffer in perl :)

thank you

    Just a quick post for prosperity - The Pcap library can be obtained in source and binary forms from http://winpcap.polito.it/ and are quite mature in nature.

    I have worked with some Packet Capturing libraries for NT, but none of which have a Perl interface. If you want to write a sniffer like tool for NT I'm afraid you're stuck using C, C++ or something similar.
