XMPP Traffic Interceptor
Kyle Usbeck
This software is a modification of Tim Carstens's "sniffer.c"
Description
This program is designed to sit between an XMPP client and server (you
can run it on either), and monitor the traffic. Currently, the program
intercepts any type of traffic, but future plans are to encorporate XML
message parsing to make the output more clear.
Installation
Just download the source tarball, extract it, enter the directory it
creates, and type Make. You will need libpcap to compile
the program.
Usage
xtmon NETWORK_DEVICE PORT
This command captures traffic from the NETWORK_DEVICE interface on the
specified PORT. Traffic coming to NETWORK_DEVICE is colored
yellow and traffic leaving NETWORK_DEVICE is red.
