HPUX "snoop" equivalent

[Robert K.Scrimger_1]

This is a repost, (long story). Is there an HPUX (using 11.00 32bit) equivalent to the Sun "snoop" command? I need to verify the presence of specific UDP datagrams on the network.

nettl should do the trick, but it is not the easiest program to work with.

I have heard good things about snort, but I have never used it.

Hello,

I might have got this wrong, but isn't "nettl" and "ethereal" more like "snoop"?
In terms of packet-catching/-snooping you should be able to use both of them to detect your UDP packets...

Just my ???0.02,

For detailed snooping I recommend setting up Ethereal. I finally got it working (thanks to some help from Clay and others) and it is really amazing. The gui is pretty handy too. Just make sure you get the latest version of everything...and have at it.

Rgrds,

Hi,
You can try tcpdump which is similar..

You'll libpcap also which is avilable as a link in this page

nettl isn't the most straightforward tool in the world, but there *is* a GUI for it, which simplifies things a touch. Try using 'nettladm' which might give you what you require.
