This is a VERY stupid packet sniffer for IPX ethernet packets.

=============================================
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using unencrypted passwords, and use this tool to send a
|
||||
dump to somebody else or store it on a computer, you might very well
|
||||
store passwords there. So, be VERY careful! This is exactly the kind
|
||||
of tools Novell designed the encrypted passwords for (or against).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
I hacked it together to be able to help people with problems with
|
||||
ncpfs. The socket handling was taken from Statnet-2.0.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use it to watch commercial NetWare clients when they talk to
|
||||
servers. I divided the program into 2 parts, ipxdump and ipxparse.
|
||||
|
||||
ipxdump simply pumps all the IPX frames it receives to stdout.
|
||||
|
||||
If you use ipxdump to watch a workstation, you can use the simple
|
||||
filter function ipxdump provides. You can call ipxdump with the node
|
||||
address of the workstation you want to watch. This way only the
|
||||
packets this workstation sends and receives are monitored. As an
|
||||
example, I call ipxdump as
|
||||
|
||||
./ipxdump 00001B038B11
|
||||
|
||||
to look at my 286/10MHz test 'workstation'. ipxdump still generates
|
||||
huge amounts of data, so you should be very careful to start it just
|
||||
before you perform the operation (such as file creation for OS/2
|
||||
clients with NW4.1 as a server, or a 'dir' on a directory with long
|
||||
and short file names, or an encrypted password change ;-)) and stop it
|
||||
directly after that. And, please gzip -9 and uuencode it before you
|
||||
send it to anybody.
|
||||
|
||||
ipxparse will eventually take apart the dump that ipxdump
|
||||
generates. They can as well be used in a pipe. Currently ipxparse does
|
||||
not do anything sensible, but that will definitely change.
