Tcpflow for windows

Question

Is there a tool like tcpflow for windows?
I need to sniff only tcp data (no headers). I would prefer to use the command line tool, so I can, for example, do grep output.

Answer 1

You can always use Wireshark (or tshark.exe from the command line) to capture data, and then after its subsequent processing without regard to headers.

Output Example:

C:\Program Files\Wireshark>tshark.exe -x Capturing on Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (Microsoft Packe t Scheduler) 0.000000 192.168.0.133 -> 192.168.0.255 SMB Mailslot Write Mail Slot 0000 ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 0e 2e 2b 35 55 08 00 45 00 .........+5U..E. 0010 00 ce 5f 6e 00 00 80 11 57 dc c0 a8 00 85 c0 a8 .._n....W....... 0020 00 ff 00 8a 00 8a 00 ba 95 f3 11 02 a3 0a c0 a8 ................ 0030 00 85 00 8a 00 a4 00 00 20 45 43 45 4a 46 45 45 ........

Update:

If you need to capture packets on the local computer (loopback device), you should use the excellent RawCap tool to capture the pcap file, and then use Wireshark in the captured file, as usual.

Answer 2

Here is a tool for Windows that is as similar to tcpflow as possible. :-)

Ie, this is tcpflow compiled for Windows. I have not tried it, but I assume this works. This is a "zipball", so you will need software that can be extracted from the Zip archive.
