Hi there,
well, i have homework of packet sniffing software
i'm not suppose to write the code,but i need to make a report of an existing code and explain it in details.
I found the following code somewhere(the code should be of a packet sniffer) ,but i couldn't run it.I tried over and over and get no result

I used microsoft c++ 2008 to run it in windows platform.

Can anybody tell me why i couldn't run the code?

I don't say i understand the code perfectly,but i need to make sure i can run it before start studying it.


thanks in advance

The below code compiles.. gives only one warning which I cba to fix.. its basically fopen to fopen_s.. u can fix that easily.. its just a compiler warning though.

Can you clarify "get no result"? Were you able to build the executable? If so, did you get any error messages when you ran it? If it doesn't print anything to the console (assuming you're running it in a console window), did it occur to you that it might be running correctly?

Start with main() (at line 45 of the first block of code. After it declares a couple of variables, what does it do next? Skip that for a moment, and what does it do next? How is that next thing implemented? Assuming the code actually runs, are you OK to proceed?

sorry to be late,i have suck internet connection


well,
I ran the code but have other problem,the cmd falshed then have the following written in the output window:

The program '[408] sniff.exe: Native' has exited with code -1 (0xffffffff).

I think the PDB messages are warnings (about not being able to find debug symbols should you wish to use the debugger to see where the problem is) -- see the second response here for more info.

Other than that, the only actual "error" is that your program exited with code -1, which is exactly what the die() function does. Do you now have a File1.txt file? What messages are in it?

,ù-¨ü„ْ‎ ÷8Œِ
that's what i have in File1.txt

Haha, oops. die() doesn't write its argument into the file! Line 190 should read: WriteData( s ); , not WriteData( "%s" );. Then you might get something useful. Sorry I missed that before! :)

thanks so much raptr dflo
i got something useful,at last!!

how would i run the program in frdora
