asked on

"sniffing" an application

hi experts,
is possible to "sniff" an application, ( i dont think the sniff word is correct)
eg internet explorer and log when someone is trying to access a specific website and if trying to login somwhere?
by capturing user and pass fields.

i have no negative intentions!
just learning.

please help, i have no idea

i don't need the full source codes.
i think i can manage the shell hook and keyboard hook on my own, but what i didn't get yet is how to see if someone is trying to send data from internet explorer or any other browsers.

i'm developing a tool for personal purposes only to see what is going on my system. for security reasons
Gav your help would be appreciated.
thanks.

dear kretzschmar that's not good.
i know you're the best delpher here.
but i disagree with this sentence:  "doesn't matter, if you have bad/good intention for ask for"    
and i think you refer to this point:  Introducing viruses, worms, harmful codes or Trojan horses.    
im a premium member from almost 2 years, and i wonder what the "doesnt matter" means for you.  
as i told you i dont need it to spy user and password with negative intentions. im learning.
(so that "doesnt matter" seems like you dont give respect to me).    
if any other one will use it for spy user and password is not my problem.  
of course that code could appears nocive (and i agree with you), but if you care such codes tends to be used for security too.  
therefore i'm trying to develop a security application.

not good. not good.

i disagree with you.
that's just your point of view, because the code isn't just "harmful" but it could be used for security (or fun) reasons too, then i think the rule you're trying to impose is wrong.
in this way you are forbidding me and all users who use code for good intentions to learn and get help.
i think "experts-exchange" has been made in order to help peoples.
that's not good..  where will i ask for help now?

ok noproblem
@jimhorn, Visual baisc? Is baisc a new programming language? :-P

Uhoh... Page editors can probably edit their own posts... :-) Oh, well...

Still, jimhorn does give some good advise here. Try Google instead. Then again, you might end up with dozens of links to EE where you will read similar answers to this one.
