As I stated in my last post, I am currently geeking out on packet capture software. The WireShark network analysis tool is pretty awesome and is built using the WinPCap library which is itself a port of libpcap to the Win32 environment. The unfortunate part, or at least for us .NET developers, is that there is no (IMHO of course) good .NET binding to WinPCap. Well, I've gone ahead and spent some time getting an initial wrapper done using P/Invoke. I've taken a different initial strategy from the...

In my copious amount of free time I've been messing around with network analysis and security. I've always been generally interested in networking technology, but have never really had much practical exposure to it. Sometimes, however, it is nice to be able to analyze a network and see what kind of information is actually coming across the wire.

Apparently, two months is my definition of "very soon". Let's continue. Since .NET 1.1 we've had the concept of delegates. They are the constructs that allow us to call methods on objects via reference such as: delegate int AddFunc(int x, int y); public static class MathOps { public static int Add(int x, int y) { return x + y;...
