program to monitor packets sent to localhost...


Recommended Posts

ok, hopefully someone can answer this.. .but does anyone know of a freeware packet monitoring program that can analyze packets sent to itself...

to clear this up, i made a simple server / client program in Delphi. i want to be able to see what data is sent between the server and the client (both running on the same computer) then try to use this data and make the server again but in another programming language... its more of an educational thing to see if i can do it.

I tried:

Ethereal - Doesn't seem to listen to itself... connecting and disconnecting left no traces of data being sent/recieved.

WPE Pro - had to disable my anti-virus for this, but it didn't allow me to see my own traffic..

i'm starting to wonder if this is even possible.

*EDIT*

stupid internet... if a Moderator sees this, can you delete one of these.. thanks
