[Twisted-Python] Utility program to hex-dump network traffic
Dear Twisted Experts, About 2 years ago I needed a simple way to hexdump network traffic. I threw together a Twisted application, and have improved it little by little whenever I needed to. I didn't want to use an existing network sniffer tool. Instead, I borrowed the idea of a tunnel from ssh: Normally application A connects directly to application B; instead, A connects to the tunnel which connets to B. I posted the program to the ASPN site: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/502293 Though it works well for my purposes, I'm sure I've got some aspects wrong -- any/all comments/feedback/advice would be warmly appreciated :) Regards Andrew

Just wanted to say thanks. Someone blogged about this recipe and I've used alot and saved a great amount of time with it. Especially handy since ethereal/wireshark can't capture traffic on the localhost interface on Windows. So, thanks again! Arnar

It sure is nice to hear people liking/using my work. There are a few other free/open source software tidbits (non twisted) here: http://software.ellerton.net Andrew
