Product Description:

Eavesdrop is a network capture application (based on tcpdump) that captures and understands TCP conversations. It keeps track of the TCP flag history and extracts the payload of each conversation as it is captured. The payload is also searched for image data to display. Graphs can be created to view trends in the captured data.

What's new in this version:

  • Universal binary!
  • Promiscuous mode and file capture mode both work.
  • The image viewer can now save the selected image as a TIFF.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.3.9
  • Mac OS X 10.3

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
  • Administrative privileges (for live captures)
  • Network connection

I find this app interesting and quite useful. It allows you to see the raw data that's being transmitting via your TCP/IP connection. I don't know much about what alot the data means... but I like to check that, when I use certain TCP/IP apps, the data (such as logins & passwords) are not being transmitted in plain text. Also, it's interesting to see the background noise that seems to be transmitted, from your computer, related to cookies, and what-not. I've never seen anything similar to it. I'd give it 5-stars if it had a "Help" section, or a manual, for better understanding of things. (And, the "Save" function doesn't seem to work).

Eavesdrop Troubleshooting ReportUnable to save capture - Version: 0.5a1, 11/23/2005 02:18PM PST

Works beautifully for me. Especially love the image decoding feature. Only flaw seems to be that I can't 'Save' or 'Save As' the capture. The error message that slides out is 'The document "Untitled" could not be saved as "Untitled"'. Same error no matter what filename/path is chosen. Otherwise the application works quite well.
