Development of a Network packet sniffer
Abstract of the project
This project is aimed at developing a packet sniffer on HTTP protocol. This sniffer should be able to monitor and save files transiting over network . This project should be scalable to support other protocols like FTP, POP3 etc. The practical purpose of the project is providing monitoring ability for the administrator of a network. This can be deployed in home PC by parents to monitor the internet access, also. This has to build over any interface provided by freely available libraries for capturing packets on TCP/IP.

Functional components of the project
TCP Packet Capture Module:
This module will integrate with library lib libpcap and provide a method to investigate the packet.
Packet Parser Module:
This module will parse the packet header and identify the details.
User Interface Module (GUI):
This module will have the user interface and method to trigger actions based on user request. It will use the other two modules to accomplish the triggered action.
1. The GUI should be able to show network traffic in graphical form
2. The GUI should be able to map the files to the destination IP
3. The GUI should have an option for saving all the files and files going to a particular destination
Steps to start-off the project
1 - Studying the packet capturing tools like tcpdump.
2 – Studying the TCP/IP protocol stack
3 – Knowledge about HTTP protocol
