The TCP sniffer listens to the data sending between client and server. It sniffs the connection and saves it's content into a SQLite3 database.
It is basically used as a third party relay party, not too different from socat, if socat were to save your communications to SQLite, so it can be used everywhere that you have the freedom to configure the ports that you'll connect to.
The test-server.py and the test-client.py are for the testing purpose. The communication between the server and the client is duplex (they receive and send messages).
Call the following:
python -m sniffer 8000 127.0.0.1 8080This will fire up a local sniffer to sniff at port 8000, while handling off the connection to 127.0.0.1 port 8080.
