network api question

Hi,

I would like to write a program that snips packets on my ethernet card. I am using version 4.3.3. Does QT have API to help me with this?

Thanks,
- m.

RE: network api question

I don't think so. It needs rather low-level access to network stack.

There is indeed no such part of the QT-API that allows you to write a network-sniffer..

If you are up to it, try reading some tutorials how to write your own ethernet-drivers and stuff like that, because you'll need low-level access to your ethernet-card :-P.. <like mentioned in the reply above here..>

ps: ever heard of "wireshark"? It's also a sniffer ;-)
