201088 2003-12-16 11:45:00 any one help my with this one?

I have a program that logs in to a server in USA and want to know if the password if sent in clear text or not.

one way to check is to ask the devoliper but I would also like to chack for myself.....


what I want is a way to catch all/any packets that leave my computer, I will then login to the system in USA, i will then grep the packets for my password.



BTW this is on dial up through Ihug on a windows XP-pro system.

201089 2003-12-16 19:55:00 I was just surfing a couple of days ago and noticed one here (www.majorgeeks.com) by coincidence. I was thinking to myself that it looked interesting to download for possible fututre use. Of course, being free helped too :) Pheonix (280)
