Solution 1

I would be highly impressed if you could create a good and convenient Network Spy.

There are some cases when I would like to create my own code to work with some obscure application-level protocol, but documentation is not available. I even faced with situation where I addressed manufacturer directly to ask for lower-level access the their system (hardware), because their own API was impossibly bad (typical for industrial-grade equipment), but company representatives were not qualified enough to answer my questions. With the Spy we could get what we need experimentally. I faced two or three cases like that.

I know such products exist, but I never used anything which I really liked.

How about that? Does it look challenging enough? Or too hard?

Thank you very much for your suggestions. But can you please write in detail what a network spy does and some of its functions to be performed by demonstrating an example.
Please...

I suggest you figure it out. I want only to explain what it's good for. For example, some applications works with some server and does the job. Examples: plays the streamed media using some obscure protocol, controls a robot, also using some obscure protocol. You don't like the application and want to do it yourself, much better but you don't know how because you do not know what happens on the networking channels. Now use run it all under the spy. You complete it, and the spy provides you the data on what happened on the network channels in detail. It should be good enough for you to understand how to reproduce it all by yourself.

Also, look at your own question. You asked for the idea of the project which could impress your colleagues, you did not ask for guidelines or directions, not even for a spec. I gave you the idea and explain why it would be very useful.

Solution 2

Why don't you create a software to intercept and modify net traffic?
You can pick LSP[^] or WFP[^]

For LSP you can download a simple sample I created way back in 2009 here to block anything from a spesific IP address

Or here, for a complete sample for WFP.

Good luck!
