I'm trying to send http Post requests from a embedded device.
Is there any service I can use to send test POSTs to and see what my requests look like? Or is there any "test-webserver" I can install on my PC that dumps Http posts in a raw format?
Thanks!
Requestbin does exactly what you need.
I would say that one of the best ways of doing this would be setting up an ad-hoc wireless network and then track the traffic via Wireshark or Fiddler. You can connect the phone to the shared network and then specifically "sniff" the wireless traffic (given that the PC is connected to a wired network).
Example for Windows Phone 7:

You could also try PutsReq. It is similar to RequestBin, but it is open source and you can also simulate responses and forward requests.

I'm trying to send and receive an SNMP trap using an Ubuntu VM. Works well if I send and receive it in the same VM. But is it possible to send it to another Ubuntu VM in a different network or sending it through the internet?
Used a ton of tutorial like this but with no luck.
Any tutorials or guides for this? Been searching for days. Any help would be great. Thanks!
Yes, of course, but you will need to open up your firewalls and/or set up port forwarding so that the packets go where they need to go when they cross any network boundaries. The specific details depend on your network layout and cannot be further explained in the abstract.
I am learning Wireshark as part of a course. I would like to know how to use the wireshark display filters for filtering traffic of a particular application. I tried using the display filter reference for Skype present on the link below:
https://www.wireshark.org/docs/dfref/s/skype.html
However, I am not able to filter the Skype traffic from the capture I have. Can anybody please suggest an approach to filter Skype traffic?
I know how to filter traffic based on the source/destination IP address, protocols but I would like to know how to capture an application specific traffic eg for Skype.
Are there any other tools which would be better in filtering a particular application traffic from a complete packet capture?
I guess in your case there coud be helpfull rawcap.I used it to eavesdrop on my applications.Data captured by rawcap can be opened with wireshark.I was using it on loopback.You shoud be able to listen to skype as well.After you captured enought data close it with ctrl+c if i remember correctly and then open the file you saved all the informations in with wireshark
Skype uses a different protocol nowadays (if you're using a new Skype version). It looks like normal SSL (HTTPS) now. The old Skype dissector in Wireshark is therefore quite useless now.
Try loading the PCAP file into CapLoader and look at the long duration flows (probably to TCP port 443). Select those and export them to a new PCAP file.
I have a program that I'm trying to reverse engineer.
It gets a specific key by using HTTP GET on some URLs.
I need to figure out the details on how this works.
The good news is that there's the option to preform these requests over an HTTP proxy.
Would anybody know of a program to monitor a specific application's network traffic?
I've tried Wireshark, but its no giving me enough information (Headers, URL path).
After Wireshark, I tried FreeProxy. The problem with FreeProxy is that it only gives headers for around 1/3 of the requests and it doesn't give the full path either.
Could anyone suggest a better alternative for monitoring the internet activity of my application?
I thought Wireshark was able to capture the full packet with all its content? If so, how can it not give you enough information? Maybe you need to revise your traffic capture config?
It's been a while since I used Wireshark, but if you have trouble capturing full packets, what you can do is use tcpdump to capture and write to file, then view the capture file using Wireshark. tcpdump's -s option will allow you to set the packet size so as to capture full packets.
I use Fiddler for all my HTTP traffic monitoring. It is very powerful and displays data in the HTTP layer only. Wireshark will get all of your data, but it displays the details at a much lower layer. It even has capability to decrypt SSL traffic.
Fiddler installs itself as a proxy, and configures IE and FF automatically to use it when it is on. If you are having too much traffic mix in, then you can install Fiddler on a remote box, and point your proxy to that IP address.
I was recommemded another program called "mitmproxy" which worked perfectly for what I needed. Fiddler also worked, but SSL was giving me problems.
I'm very new to network programming, and would appreciate some help understanding what some good progress steps would be. I am designing an iOS app that requires real-time information to be delivered over a network from another machine. I know the IP address of this machine, as well as the API that the machine adheres to in terms of sending and receiving messages.
From doing some research, it seems like I need to open up a socket on one of the machine's ports, and open up another socket on my computer, and then use TCP/IP to send and receive packets between the two.
What is a good overview of the process that I need to do at this point? Which languages and environments would you suggest that would be most efficient for me to be able to get the information I need from this machine into my XCode project?
Thanks! Any help would be appreciated.
you just need to look for examples of how to do "socket programming" for IOS. here's one resource:

I want to know if any tool captures https traffic. I spend many hours searching on Google but did not find an answer. I need to analyze some packets from my application.
How can I capture this https traffic?
You didn´t specify the platform or the nature of your application. Just giving it a try, Fiddler is a HTTP Proxy capable of capturing HTTPS requests.
Capturing HTTPS traffic is one of Ettercap's claims to fame.
which operating system are you running? For Linux, Wireshark is a very famous packet sniffing tool.
