Winsock & Packets

[rudvs2]

Hi all. I am wondering if anyone knows how to use winsock to intercept packets on a certain port?. Eg I know that you can set winsock to a port but heres what I am wanting to do.

Combat Flight Simulator from microsoft has a number of features in multiplayer that you can manipulate. I have the SDK for it and it is possible to create a 3rd party application that hooks into CFS and add features to packets sent and recieved. I need to know if its possible to intercept and decode those packets with winsock?

any help or ideas would be appreciated.

thanks MX but i know how to use the winsock for creating chat applications

What im talking about is using it to intercept packets coming in from the internet on a particular port.

before the actual intended application recieves them. and vice versa eg the application fires out a return packet and the winsock app grabs that before it heads out into the great wide world

You can do this with a relay server type program. I've made one and posted it on my site sopon.net. Look for "Relay Server"

Shawn do you have any code samples or web sites for refrence material you could refer me to ?

Download the file attached to this post.

Normally, an app will run like

APPLICATION <------------ DATA -------------> SERVER

when you have the relay server going things will run like

APPLICATION <-----> DATA <-----> RELAY SERVER <-----> SERVER

Kinda hard to explain...
