Hello everyone,
First time post here so please be lenient.
My question is in regards to a C++ syntax problem. I am trying to make a standard (DOS) program that can capture TCP/IP traffic. This will be an academic project between a friend and I.
Question is this; how do we go about getting the program to interface with the Layer 3 (network layer) to capture TCP/IP traffic?
We are also trying to figure out how to retrieve device properties and display them in the terminal. Information such as a standard input “ipconfig” to display the network adapter’s information.
This entire program will be in C++, using N++ for a editor and Dev++ for a compiler.
Please if there is any required reading you would recommend, please include it in your response.
Thank you very much in advance,
V/R

it looks like you're attempting to write a driver/system like this :- http://www.winpcap.org/[^]

dont understand what you mean here

huh ? do you mean a console-mode executable ?
It really depends on what the purpose of the exercise is - you can waste a lot of time writing something as good as winpcap yourselves, and/or its cousin 'WireShark' for viewing the data

c'mon - google for it - there's plenty of examples out there, even some here on CP

Welcome to codeproject!
To echo Garth a bit:
c++ syntax has nothing to do with this. That's things like "How do I make a for loop", not "how do I access hardware to grab TCP/IP data".
Next, do you *really* mean DOS? Those installation disks must have been very dusty...
If you mean "I'm running windows, but I don't know about messages and things, so I just want a console program", then codeproject can help you.
Have a look in:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/[^]
I can see three articles in as many seconds, searching for "sniff":
Statistic consol sniffer – no driver installation is needed[^]
WinSniff :The packet capturing application for Windows[^]
Sniffing using Winsock[^]
That should keep you going a little while.
Other search term you might want to use is: "promiscuous". It's what a network card that's listening to *everything* is called.
Good luck,
Iain.

Well after reading a lot about this topic, I have found that this covers a different side of programming I am unfamiliar with.
I have read countless source codes all using winsock.h and have no idea how to properly use this.
Would there be a good tutorial around here explaining C++ programming in conjunction with Networking? I am more familiar with a different aspect of C++.
Thank you again for all the help.

If you are doing what I think you're doing, and writing an application to look at all network traffic passing your computer, then the subject is just plain difficult.
If you are wanting client / server software to talk between computers, then it's a lot easier. Just look in the networking section of codeproject, and there;s a whole range of articles there, from simple chat between 2 pc programs, to full fledged servers.
Either way, it's not an easy topic!
Good luck,
Iain.

I have been reading about winsocks. I due have a question. Here is the code I have been piecing together. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I get a compiling error "using Dev++" on line 105. I know I am new to programming with sockets but I need a little guidance. I am stationed in Iraq and there is no reference other than feedback from this forum. Thank you very much in advance.

I have some problems when porting a WIN32 project into 64-Bit using VS2008.
1. I am using many third party libraries in my WIN32 project in which one of them uses old iostream functions. It gives me linker error LNK1104: cannot open file 'LIBCIMT.LIB' when I compile in X64 mode. I have the source code of the library with me. I tried recompiling the third party library using the new iostream header files under VS2008, but it gives me compilation errors which seems to be some in-compatibility issues of new and old iostreams.
2. In my project, I use both SQL and MAPI. The project compiles and runs perfectly in WIN32 mode. But the same gives me compilation error C2371: 'BOOKMARK' : redefinition; different basic types
Here is a sample code to reproduce the problem.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <comdef.h>
#include <atlbase.h>
#include <sqlext.h>
#include <mapix.h>
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
return 0;
}
All the header files are from the VS2008 installation folder.
How do I solve these problem with minimal changes in my code
Thanks in advance
cheers

That sounds about right. I suspect you're going to have to bite the bullet & just start going through them, fixing them.
One thing to remember is that (IIRC) old iostreams weren't in the std namespace, new ones are. Also - this page has some handy migration hints[^].

You were lucky before. MAPI and SQL both define BOOKMARK. They happened to both be 32-bit, but now they're not. The only things I can suggest are 1) separating SQL and MAPI functionality into separate source files, or 2) putting (say) the MAPI stuff into a namespace like this:
namespace MAPI
{
#include <mapix.h>
}
and either using using namespace MAPI; or explicitly identifying things in this new MAPI namespace.

Hai!
I have an MFC application in which if i press a button, a message box pops up. In that message box i have to display the Error message and caption so i am using MessageBox () instead of AfxMessageBox () since in AfxMessageBox () i cannot specify the caption.
Now the problem with MessageBox () is for as many times I press the button that many time the message box pops up, but if i use AfxMessage box it pops up once unless i respond to it i am not able to press the button in the main dialog.
So i need in this format i want to display the error message, its caption but unless user responds to that message box i must not be able to press the button as it happens in AfxMessageBox ().
I tried with the following, but still multiple messagebox pops up if i continously press the button in main dialog
MessageBox ("This error is due to XYZ", "Error", MB_ICONERROR | MB_APPLMODAL);
Thanks!

Is the solution secret? Other people may learn from it...
My guess is you didn't have the parent window of the ::MessageBox set - Just NULL isn't good enough.
Do I get a prize?

windows api function MessageBox yes, AfxMessageBox function MFC Yes
|
|
|
|
|
MessageBox ("This error is due to XYZ", "Error", MB_ICONERROR | MB_APPLMODAL); (YOURS)
MessageBox ("This error is due to XYZ", "Error", MB_ICONERROR | MB_SYSTEMMODAL); (MINES)
The only difference between applmodal and systemmodal is systemmodal is given TOPMOSTWINDOW also, therefore, you would have to manually give focus back to the main application before pressing XYZ, or whatever it is first

Hello,
I dont why my question was mixed up with other questions so posted again
I have a CRichEditCtrl box on a CMDIChildWnd. When I move the mouse over this edit box its cursor changes to caret pointer indicating that the box is there. This CMDIChildWnd is made by Create()of CMDIChildWNd
Now when I make a Child window by CreateNewChild() and the add CRichEditCTrl on the childwindow the edit box is seen but when I move the mouse cursor on the edit box the cursor doesnt change to caret pointer .
What is the difference or what must be the problem in making child
windows in diff ways?

Hello,
Once I got a debug error and from then I am not getting any info in Class Wizard. I did rebuild the project but when I press Ctrl W I am getting this error
Parsing error Expected "virtual"
Input Line "void KILLFOCUS(WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)"
Thanks
Prithaa

At KILLFOCUS you created in the Class Wizard does not exist.or is not a virtual function.KILLFOCUS in front of you to add at virtual.

I need to write a PC based application that will utilize a bluetooth dongle using the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack. I was looking for any recommendations on SDKs (comercial or otherwise) that anyone would recommend. Or are the Bluetooth apis well documented enough on the MSDN that no 3rd party SDKs are needed?
Thanks in advance
|
|
|
|
|
What do you need the dongle to do?
As long as it appears in the Device Manager, then all it's capabilities are available. If it's a network device, then it should act like all the other network devices, if it's a sound device, then it should appear in the sound device list.
|
|
|
|
|
The dongle is because the PC won't necessarily have any integrated bluetooth. I just need to be able to connect to a external BT device whose BT address I will receive at run-time and then I need to perform some OBEX transfers in both directions.
I haven't done any windows network programming so this would be new to me.
