[Original Poster]

I want to make a simple packet sniffer program on android does not have to be fancy... if someone can link me to a tutorial or show me a sample code that I can build upon I will be grateful

Android is typically programmed in Java language.

You will want the software developers kit

http://developer.and.../sdk/index.html

I know a lot about programming, but lack real programming skills, best I can do is point you in the right direction.

Some books that may benefit you such as - http://www.amazon.co...a/dp/0596009208

From there you learn how to use java programming for android.

Thank you for your input, I actually am already programming in android lol but I am trying to skip ahead a bit (well alot) as I have about 6 months to learn how to make a packet sniffer and then handle the packets and add extra functionality ontop of that ... I need to make a java version or aireplay-ng for example... going to be a long road and I dont want to cheat but I will study other peoples code and then build my own from it..

good we need more network tools.

I've got a proposal for you. Build a pcap reader instead. Shark makes a good packet sniffer, but Shark Reader is absolutely worthless for viewing those files. I end up pulling the logs off my phone and using Wireshark on my computer.

Edit: Sounds like you HAVE to make a sniffer? For school or work or something? Well, either way, make me a pcap reader too. :laugh:

We really don't, there's a tool for pretty much every little thing you need already available ;)

point me to a stress tester then.

point me to a stress tester then.

For use on which platform?

For stress testing what?

Do you need a GUI / Command Line / etc?

That's like saying I'm making a specific flavour pie, now hand me the fruit I need. (well, which fruit do you need...)

stress tester.android.wlan.client to server or straight client.
