lord_nikonHas anyone yet created an addon to capture WoW chat messges. I don't mean *just* chats send to my toons, or local, guild chat, etc., I mean *EVERYTHING* that is send to or from anyone on my local area network? Background: We have several computers connected via hub on our LAN. Because it's a hub, every packet sent to or from anyone on the LAN can be seen (sniffed) by anyone else. I can run a packet sniffer but I get 10,000 packets of binary garbage for every 1 packet that contains chat text. There must be something that distinguishes a chat text packet from other network traffic but I can't figure out what it might be. Does Blizzard publish technical specs of their packet structures? Yes, I know it sounds like spying, and maybe it is, but this is just a curiosity thing with me; I am just into telecommunications (networking) and programming, and, of course, Wow!
