karpski - A Gtk-based sniffer / protocol analyzer

karpski [ device ]

karpski is a Gtk-based sniffer/protocol analyzer. It uses the libpcap library written by Van Jacobson and crew at ftp.ee.lbl.gov. The various protocols are defined in karpski's definition file, protocol_parser.dat. This file is written in my protocol description language which is in a state of flux. Therefore, I will not describe this.
