gang,

i want to watch the data being received/sent on a given port on my machine.

is there an easy app that listens to what the port gets/sends and logs the data?

thanks

1) www.google.com
2) Firewall for Windows freeware download

good luck

Yup install or run tcpdump with:

tcpdump port XXXX

That should do it

Msg me on ICQ: 4930562 If you need some help

There are a few ways, depending on what OS you're running. Drop me a private message... I can walk you through ways for either BSD/Linux or Windows.

My favorite would always be:
http://www.ethereal.com/

Course there is a ton of others for a non-windows based system.

If you are truly looking for something with power, ethereal is where it's at.

Will also read in that tcpdump you heard about.
